The news as it trends. See the video below.

Nigerian preacher and relationship coach Mildred Okonkwo has stirred debate online with her bold statement during a recent marriage seminar: 

“If the bed’s not shaking, your marriage will shake.”

The quote, now trending on TikTok and Instagram, was meant to emphasize the importance of physical intimacy and emotional connection in sustaining a healthy union.

While some applauded her frankness, others criticized the statement as overly simplistic or tone-deaf to complex marital challenges.

Mildred clarified later that “shaking” was metaphorical—symbolizing passion, effort, and togetherness.

The post sparked hundreds of comments from couples sharing how they keep their spark alive or why intimacy shouldn’t define a marriage.
