A pastor has taken to TikTok to advise that women reduce themselves for the sake of their marriages while sharing her own story as an example.
The woman, @pstjulie, stated that she was a “fool” in her marriage for 39 years to make her marriage work. According to her, being a fool did not mean she didn’t know her rights.
