  • Bishop Thomas Aremu advised husbands to provide financial support to their wives.
  • He stated that women appreciate money and spending on them benefits the relationship.
  • Aremu also suggested that husbands should not dismiss their wives' desires for items like gold as ungodly.

Bishop Thomas Aremu, formerly a senior pastor and vice president at Living Faith Church Worldwide (Winnersโ€™ Chapel), has urged men to financially support their wives, emphasizing that providing for their spouses' needs strengthens the marital bond.

Women like money, so if you have money, spend it on them. Give her money. She is the one taking care of the children, and she will like you.

Speaking at an event called MLF Day 1, Aremu stated that women value financial support, especially when they are managing the household and raising children. "Women like money, so if you have money, spend it on them. Give her money. She is the one taking care of the children, and she will like you," he advised.

Aremu shared his personal approach when his wife requests money. While he might initially inquire about the purpose, he ultimately provides the funds if she insists. He reasoned, "Number one, she needs to have some rest. Number two, she is my wife; she is not somebody elseโ€™s wife, and I have the money."

Number one, she needs to have some rest. Number two, she is my wife; she is not somebody elseโ€™s wife, and I have the money.

Furthermore, the bishop encouraged men to be attentive to their wives' desires, including aspirations to purchase items like gold. He cautioned against labeling such desires as inherently ungodly, noting that even the streets of heaven are described as being paved with gold, implying that appreciating fine things does not contradict godliness.

She may see gold and say she wants to buy it. Donโ€™t say carnality. No. The street of heaven is made up of gold, so it doesnโ€™t destroy godliness.
