“Be Intentional”- Judy Austin Shares Thoughts on Why Many Marriages Struggle

  • Judy Austin advised women to be intentional in their relationships, saying social media is a major factor causing problems in many modern marriages

Judy Austin has offered relationship advice to women while speaking about challenges affecting marriages today.

In a recent Instagram post, she encouraged women to be deliberate in how they treat their partners if they want lasting and peaceful relationships. She said many people often choose to blame others instead of making efforts to improve their marriages.

The wife of Yul Edochie also stated that social media has become a major source of conflict in modern relationships, noting that many couples are negatively influenced by it without realizing.

“You must be intentional with your partner if you want a happy marriage!!
Most people would rather play victim than be intentional with their partners.
And I mean intentional in every aspect of your lives.

Social media is one of the biggest problems most people are having in their marriages today.
The worst part is they don’t even know”.

In other news…. A Nigerian woman recently shared the heartbreaking reality she discovered about her marriage, revealing that she would never be able to have children.

In a video posted by @teeniiola on X (formerly Twitter), she opened up about her emotional journey.

She explained that at 28, she learned her husband was impotent—a truth she never shared with her late mother, who passed away without ever knowing.

She also spoke about the relentless pressure from her mother-in-law, who denied any issue with her son and unfairly placed the blame entirely on her.

The constant judgment took a heavy emotional toll, making her life extremely challenging.

When she eventually confronted her mother-in-law, instead of receiving understanding, she was branded a “bad wife” by others.

Now 46, the woman says she no longer longs for children—not because she didn’t want them, but because her ability to make that choice for herself was taken away.

Reflecting on her journey, she said: “At 28, I found out that my marriage would never produce children. Whenever my mother asked why I hadn’t conceived, I would simply tell her, ‘God’s time is the best.’ I never told her the truth, that my husband was impotent. I carried that secret alone. My mother passed away without ever knowing.

“Meanwhile, my mother-in-law made my life unbearable. She insisted that nothing was wrong with her son and placed all the blame on me. One day, I finally broke down and confronted her. Instead of understanding, everyone labeled me a bad wife for speaking up.

“Now, at almost 46, I no longer ache for children, not because I didn’t want them, but because the choice, the simple right to decide whether I wanted children or not, was taken from me.”
