Dununu said men have to emulate Christ in His godly character in their own relationships. “He loved without doubt as long as there is an element of repentance,” he said.
Dununu said men should be in a position of controlling their natural emotions of jealousy and ego when they are to sustain their marriages. “The greatest test is to love her with all her mistakes,” he added.

He called on young men to only consider marrying a girl whom they can die for because keeping a healthy relationship is not child’s play. “If you can protect your wife from your own family, then you love her,” he explained.

Addressing women, Dununu emphasised that submitting to their husbands is God’s principle. “To keep your husband, submit to him and give him proper sex,” he said. He told women that through submission, they can change even stubborn men into good husbands. “Every woman who wishes to change her husband must submit to him,” he said.

Dununu said women should not deny their husbands conjugal rights, adding that most men cheat because their own wives fail to deal with their sexual desires. He says women must have thrills to satisfy their men sexually. He also shared biblical facts of the importance of foreplay.
