‘Pray Before Having Sex’ – Anglican Priest to Married Couples {VIDEO}

Reverend Canon Charles Amankwa, a Ghanaian Anglican priest, has urged couples to pray before having sex.

According to the priest, when Christian couples are preparing to make love, they should take advantage of the occasion to ask for the growth of their partnership

“Will you believe that the first two years of my marriage, whenever I wanted to have an affair, there was this mentality that ‘you are a priest’,” Rev Canon Amankwah is quoted to have said in a report by Asaaseradio.com.

“But there is something I want to teach. What made the love deeper or more loving is prayer. Anytime I want to have an affair with her [his wife] we pray.

“The prayer is simply this, ‘God as I want to have an affair with my wife, you told us in Genesis that we are naked and we don’t feel shy, so why don’t you deepen my love for her, let us have more affection’, so every day we pray before,” the former Catholic priest said on The StandPoint show with Oheneyere Gifty Anti.

Canon Amankwah served as an assistant parish priest at the Holy Trinity Parish in Agormanya in the Eastern Region before he was ordained as an Anglican priest. 

Later, he was chosen to serve as the parish priest of St. Barbara Parish in Akosombo, Eastern Region.

At St Mary Anglican Church in Atechem, Dunkwa-On-Offin in the Central Region, he serves as both the diocesan evangelism director and the choir director.
