When Pastors and GO’s wives lose their husbands they find it difficult remarrying unlike the men. Why is this like this? Why the double standards?
Let’s set up a nice context and look at some examples

Pastor Kumuyi, the number one holiness preacher in the world, highly revered all over the world, lost his wife Mummy Biodun in 2009 and remarried Mummy Esther( 65yrs old then) 18 months later in London. Baba was 69 yrs old when he remarried.

Pastor Taiwo Odukoya, great man of God, lost his wife Pastor Bimbo in 2005 and remarried Pastor Rosemary 5yrs later in 2010. He was 54 yrs when he remarried.

These men of God continued in the Lords work going everywhere with their new wives without any eyebrows raised. Everybody moved on and the faithfuls and members rightly said it is better to remarry than burn with passion and fall into sin.

But why is it different for widowed women of God ? Don’t they also burn with passion? don’t they also need companionship? don’t they also need a man to lean on?

How will you feel if your deceased GOs wife comes with a new husband and starts preaching everywhere with him? Will it sit well? different ? but it’s okay for guys?

Bishop Mrs Margaret Idahosa, a very beautiful woman, lost her husband in 1999. She was 55 and remained remarried until now. She clocked 80 last year. If it was the other way round will it be the same.

Pastor Evelyn Joshua, pretty wife of Prophet TBJ , lost her husband in 2021. She was 53 yrs. She hasn’t remarried. Will it be same if it was the other way round.

Mama Idahosa once said in 2013 that men still disturb her at age 70. So it is not for want of suitors that they don’t remarry . These are powerful beautiful and wealthy women and can attract the best of men just like their male counterparts . So why is it difficult?

Expectations and Pressure: There are often high expectations placed on pastors’ families, including their wives. The congregation may view them as role models, expecting them to embody certain virtues and maintain a strong Christian witness. Remarrying might be seen as a departure from these expectations.

Social Perception: Pastors’ wives are often well-known figures in their congregations. Remarrying could lead to scrutiny, gossip, or judgment from others. Fear of how their community will perceive their decision may influence their choice.

What does the bible say?

1 Corinthians 7:39
39 A wife is bound to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is free to be married to whom she wishes, only in the Lord.

Romans 7:2

2 For a married woman is bound by law to her husband while he lives, but if her husband dies she is released from the law of marriage.

Abigail, whose husband died, but shortly afterwards David married her too (1 Sam Ch. 25)(2 Sam 2:2).

In summary, the society and the church need to be kinder and fairer to widowed pastors’ wives. They are humans like their male counterparts and deserve acceptance and love if they chose to remarry like the men. I believe the women because of their emotional fragility even need the companionship more than the men. We are all children of God and the bible allows widowed men and women to remarry.

Your postulations may be wrong. Women are better able to manage their libido at menopause unlike men. Therefore it is easier to remain single after the death of their loved ones.

Secondly, women care so much about their children that they will rather stay single than marry to the disadvantage of their kids, so some of them make their decisions based on their kids

I will drop more later

Bullsheet!

The main reason women pastors not remarrying after their husband death is the fear of losing the husband empires. Of course immediately she got married she belongs to a new family. The family of the dead husband will come after her to demand all that the man had even the church authority may demand she live the ministry for new person to be the GO.

What God has joined together, not even death can separate it.

That mentality should be the cause

Our society is a highly manipulative one. Never live your life based on what people are saying or what people will say.

Shalom

Let us know the DIFFERENCE between EVE AND MARY.

JESUS DIDN'T MARY AT ALL. He stayed SELFLESS ON EARTH, RIGHTEOUS IN RESURRECTION AND HE IS THE PROPITIATION FOR OUR SINS.

ONLY GOD IS GOOD, RIGHTEOUS AND LONELY IN HIS CLASS.

AS FOR WIDOWED WIFE, NO MORE VISCOSITY.

OUR BODIES ARE THE TEMPLES OF GOD. IT IS BETTER THEY REMAIN VIRGIN FOR THEIR PURPOSES ON EARTH, IN TRANSIT AND TILL WE REACH HEAVEN.

WE ARE ALL OBLIGED TO LIVE BY PSALM ONE IN WHATEVER CLASS THAT WE MAY FIND OURSELVES.

THE COMMANDMENT IS "LOVE YOURSELVES LIKE YOURSELVES". PRACTICE THIS VERY WELL THAT YOU MAY ENTER THE KINGDOM OF THE GRAND ORDER DOMINION.

This seems valid to me. I support this post with 100 gallons of palmwine

They pick a coded guy from the church who fvcks them on a regular while they bankroll his affairs.


They don't remarry because of the public image it will damage.




Lucky guys get fvcked by these highly powered, widows of religious overseers.

NO!

Death came along with sin it wasn't part of God's arrangement so at death the marriage is automatically dissolved.

However the so called wives of Pastors are materialistic so instead of getting married and giving away their husbands fortune they will rather keep secret lovers and continue as widowed pastor's wife.

For instance if TB Joshua's wife should remarry today her children will not accept another man taking over their mother's heart and thereby having control over their father's wealth on the hand the congregants who believes sex is a sin won't see her as their pastor anymore as someone has started having sex with her.

So the black man's mentality is the problem as you rightly said but at death marriage ends.

That's why it's said:

"Till DEATH do us PART"
