Many pastors not enjoying marriage… they’re just enduring it, says Mike Bamiloye

Mike Bamiloye has claimed that several pastors are currently enduring their marriages rather than enjoying them.

In a post via social media, the founder of Mount Zion Faith Ministries International spoke about wives who make their marriages difficult.

He said some pastors’ wives believe they can use their husbands’ spiritual calling to manipulate them.

He said they assume that their husbands cannot resort to physical abuse or divorce due to their religious obligations.

Bamiloye referred to this behaviour as a form of “blackmail”.

“Several women believe that a pastor cannot be at them like unbelievers or divorce them at will. They use the man’s calling/ministry to blackmail him. Several pastors are not enjoying their marriage but enduring it,” he wrote.

This is not the first time Bamiloye has spoken on marriage-related issues.

Last year, he argued that many women in this generation are not prepared for marriage.

He also tackled Christian women who deny their husbands intimacy, describing such actions as “unsubmissive and insensitive”.

Bamiloye is also a filmmaker and the founder of Mount Zion Television.

He has been married to Gloria Bamiloye, a Nigerian actress and evangelist, since October 8, 1988.

Together, they have three children: Damilola, Joshua, and Darasimi.
