Don’t Marry Anyone Who Won’t Share Passwords — Pastor Dolapo Lawal

 

 Pastor Dolapo Lawal has cautioned singles against marrying partners who are unwilling to grant access to their personal passwords.

In a video that has since gone viral, the cleric maintained that transparency must be a core requirement before entering marriage, encouraging individuals to gauge how open their partners are.

“If you want to marry somebody, ask them, ‘Can I know your password to everything that you have?’ If they say ‘no,’ leave them,” he said. “If they say ‘no,’

leave them o! Let them be going their own way o.”

He argued that any union lacking openness falls short of the true meaning of marriage, questioning the idea of sharing physical intimacy without corresponding emotional and financial honesty.

“Marriage where there is no transparency is not… so you can see my nakedness, but you are not open with me? So what are we doing? That’s not marriage now.

“Do you know what it means for you to be naked before somebody? The way you came to this earth, somebody can see your nakedness, they can’t see your account balance,” he said.

Referencing the Epistle to the Romans, specifically chapter 8 verse 32, Lawal said marriage should embody a level of openness and generosity consistent with biblical teachings.

“We lie to ourselves and we take ideologies from people that know nothing about the word of God. Is there anything that God has that you don’t have access?

“Look at, is there Romans 8 verse 32? If he did not spare his son, how can he not by him give us all things? It’s there and that’s the typology of marriage,” he concluded.

He further faulted what he described as misleading modern relationship narratives, insisting that genuine partnerships must be built on trust, sincerity and unrestricted openness.
