Charlotte Oduro speaks after divorce
In a recent video, the relationship coach opened up about how she had been confined to a certain way of presenting herself because she was a pastor's wife.
"I've realised serving God is not as stiff as they have made it seem. They put me in a corner and ah! I've always tied the scarf but that's over now," she said.
"It's an open world world for me now. Serving God is beautiful let's not make it as if we are supposed to be village people before people know we are holy. I'm a free bird now, I want to fly, I want to enjoy the coldness, I want to enjoy the warmness," she added.

Ghanaian pastor speaks on submission, advises me
In an exclusive interview with YEN.com.gh, a relationship counsellor Eric Okai addressed the issue of submission in marriages and advised men.
"Submission in marriage is very important for the health of every successful marriage but too much of it destroys the beauty and happiness of many marriages. In this age, one cannot usurp his authority on his wive to prevent her from wearing makeup or wigs in the name of submission to your husband. Men this kind of submission is old, society is dynamic let's upgrade," he said.
I was depressed - Charlotte Oduro says
She noted that she got depressed at a point and had her kids encouraging her and providing the needed emotional support.
"I pray that God gives everyone someone like my children. They have been helpful. At one point I got depressed and my daughter asked me, 'so mummy, don't you want to enjoy life?' My son also tells me how beautiful I am every day," she added.

"There is a call to rise to the occasion - the holy institution of marriage is taking a hit. Only the proclaimers of the knowledge of God’s protocol for marriage will save the day. We need teacher after the heart of the Lord!"

"Very insightful interview. Gifty, for once, I have listened to Charlotte without feeling upset. Charlotte is a free spirited person who has a strong sense of self and so makes her look and sound arrogant. Her upbringing and background has contributed to her strong self. I strongly feel there is something that Charlotte needs to heal from. When she comes to that realisation, she herself will do the needful."
