Celebrity fashion designer and influencer, Veekee James, has advised women on the importance of sustaining sexual intimacy in marriage, drawing from her own experience as a newlywed of over a year.
Speaking to her sister-in-law and offering broader counsel to married women, James emphasised that intimacy plays a vital role in a healthy marital relationship.
She noted that even on days when exhaustion makes it difficult, women should still make an effort, no matter how minimal, to meet their husbands’ emotional and physical needs, stressing that such gestures help nurture closeness and strengthen the marital bond.
She said: “I have at least almost a year and a half of marriage experience. So don’t deny your husband sex; it’s not a lie. Sometimes you might be so tired that you cannot move, and the last thing you want is anyone touching you.
“Heck, on some days, you may be able to see that he looks like he’d go and die in the bathroom. My sister, just lie down and open your legs; you don’t need to do anything, just make the crooked way straight”.
She also highlighted the value of communication, suggesting that on less draining days, women can gently express their tiredness to foster understanding.
“But on days when you’re not really too tired, you’d just have to know how to say it and pet him so that he would see you’re also so tired”, she added.
