Ciara faces backlash for reposting video about marriage and advising women to “level up”
Ciara has angered a lot of people after she reposted a video telling single women that the reason they are not married is because they are walking in the spirit of “girlfriend”. She then went on to advise women to “level up” in order to get a husband.
The video she reposted on social media was from a sermon by John Gray. In the sermon, Gray talked about women acting like girlfriends instead of already acting like a wife prior to marriage.
The mother-of-two reposted the video with the caption: “#LevelUp. Don’t Settle.”
Ciara is doing what many women do when they overcome trials and get married. She’s using her marital status as a weapon against women who are not married. And it’s clear that she’s tied her value and sense of self worth to her marriage, otherwise she wouldn’t have shared that.

There is no such thing as the “spirit of a wife.” Stop making things up and to fill seats in your church.

Cici also posted a meme letting Ciara know that she failed her though she was one of those rooting for her.
