Celebrity fashion designer and social media influencer, Veekee James, has advised married women not to withhold sex from their husbands, even on days when they feel too tired or overwhelmed.

The designer gave the advice in a trending clip posted online on Friday, where she was speaking directly to her sister-in-law and using her one-and-a-half years of marriage experience as a point of reference.

According to James, many women may not feel up to it sometimes, but maintaining intimacy, even in the smallest way, goes a long way in keeping the marriage alive.

“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 added that sex in marriage should not be seen as a chore but as a gift that builds emotional closeness, even when energy levels are low.

Veekee, who recently celebrated her high-profile wedding in a viral series of ceremonies, also stressed the importance of gentle communication, especially on days when a woman genuinely feels drained.

“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.”

Her comments have since sparked mixed reactions online, with some praising her honesty and others questioning the balance of emotional labour in relationships.

Veekee James, who is known for blending faith, fashion, and frankness on her platforms, has continued to stir conversations around Christian marriage, submission, and modern-day love.
