Elaborating on the point, Duncan William explained that being a wife comes with certain responsibilities which must be understood before getting married.

“I was telling the church the other day that one of the reasons why a lot of women are not married is because they are not wife material. And a lot of men are also not husband material. There’s a difference between being a woman and being a wife.

“So the Bible says, ‘He that finds a wife.’ It didn’t say he that finds a woman, but a wife. A wife here has to do with an office. It has to do with what you have become. You become a wife; you are not born a wife.”

He added that this was the reason many women encounter challenges in their marriages.

He therefore called on mothers to adequately train and prepare their daughters for the responsibilities that lie ahead as a married woman.

Duncan-Williams also criticised the Ghanaian educational system, blaming it for not properly teaching young men and women how to become responsible husbands and wives.

At the time of writing this report, the video had generated a lot of reactions and was captioned:

“One reason many women aren’t married is that they aren’t wife material, just as some men aren’t husband material. There’s a difference between being a woman and being a wife, just as there’s a difference between being a man and being a husband or even a father.”

This came after he reportedly raised concerns over the bride’s makeup and asked her to take it off.

The bride’s refusal to do so was what informed the man’s decision to call off the wedding.
