A member of Deeper Life Church has offered her explanation for why some women in the denomination are unmarried. Debby Igbonanwa made the claim during an ongoing discussion about what constitutes appropriate wedding attire for Deeper Life brides. According to Igbonanwa, God has not blessed certain members of her church with husbands because He is aware they plan to dress improperly when they marry. In a Facebook post, she stated that the reason some women are still single is that they already intend to do something wrong on their wedding day. She said God has seen their hearts and urged them to repent so that God would finally allow His son to notice them. Igbonanwa clarified that her message did not apply to genuine Christian single women, saying God has something special prepared for them and is preparing His choicest son for them. Instead, she directed her comments at singles she accused of promoting evil and taking screenshots of immodest dresses. She said some had saved images of the outfit they imagine wearing on their own wedding day, arguing that this mindset is why men do not notice them. According to her, Christian brothers want real godly sisters, not women drawn to an imaginary dress, and real Christian brothers pursue gold, having been bought and purchased by the blood of the lamb. She told her readers to keep saying they will sew that style, and to keep following fake Christian content creators whom she accused of brainwashing them. She described such creators as people seeking to complete their 100-dollar Facebook threshold. She said they would praise and support evil to increase their numbers and gain the world's applause, speaking from both sides of their mouths to remain relevant while being unable to do what they endorse. She called this a double standard and said, "God forbid." Igbonanwa further said that in their own time, those creators followed the rules and dressed well, but now they cannot advise the singles who follow them to dress well too. She called them deceivers looking for easy Facebook money and urged people to keep listening to them. In another post, she criticized Deeper Life members who wear the approved dress for their church wedding and then change into a different outfit for the reception.
