“I’ve been married for almost a year and a half. And I’m telling you, don’t deny your husband sex. There are days you’re so tired that the last thing you want is anyone touching you,” she explained.
In a vivid and controversial moment, she illustrated her point by saying that sometimes a husband’s needs may be obvious, and even minimal cooperation from his wife can make a difference.
“There are days you might see him and think he’s close to breaking down. My sister, just lie down — you don’t have to do anything. Sometimes, just being available helps.”
The young designer also stressed the importance of communication and mutual understanding in marriage. She encouraged women to be honest about their limits, especially on days when they are emotionally or physically drained.
“On days when you’re not extremely tired, try to explain gently and lovingly. Let him see that you’re also exhausted, but still making an effort,” she said.
