Dr Boakye delved into his reasons for claiming that it is criminal and sinful to deny your partner sex. He stated that men primarily require respect, sex, an attractive partner, and domestic care to stay faithful.

Addressing extramarital affairs, he noted that issues like “side-chicks and side-cocks” thrive when partners lack intimacy at home.

In the dialogue on the significance of conflict in relationships, Dr. Boakye highlighted the importance of resolving conflicts through active listening, empathy, and compromise. He encouraged couples to express their needs and concerns honestly.

For women, Dr. Boakye mentioned that affection, companionship, commitment, and financial security were crucial to prevent extramarital involvement. He emphasized the need for men to provide financial support to their partners.

Regarding money in relationships, Dr. Boakye explained that women, as caregivers, often excel at managing family finances. He added that they should receive financial support frequently.

In terms of making a partner happy, he recommended spending quality time. He also mentioned acts of kindness, and emotional support to strengthen the connection.

Dr. Boakye advised couples to seek professional counselors when resolving conflicts instead of relying on friends or family, as personal biases can harm relationships. He emphasized the importance of apologizing, forgiveness, transparency, and seeking non-judgmental professional guidance in restoring relationships.
