Ever wondered why marriages don’t last these days? Veteran Nollywood Actor – Olu Jacobs, based on experience spoke on the issue of failed marriages especially among celebrities. Join the marriage discussion on Nollywood Community.
Olu Jacobs who has been married for over 30 years recently spoke in an interview with the ‘Nation’ that the reason many unions fail today is because people do not understand the vow they made on their wedding day ”for better for worse, for richer for poorer.”
In his own words; ”The words ”for better for worse, ”for richer for poorer” are not mere words and they are not said for nothing. When you enter into a marriage, you do not think of coming out of it. That is why some people cannot mentally recover from it again because they think about it and that is why you have to safeguard yourself. This can only be achieved by knowing the kinds of friends you keep.”
He continued by saying; ”People will come and tell you stories and even if you find out it is true, you should be the one to deal with it and apply wisdom. As a married person, you are thinking for two, you cannot take any independent decision because no decision you take should be for yourself alone.
Communication helps a lot, once you are talking, it solves a lot of things. And you should be careful because what suits you might not suit the other.”
He also stated: ”Marriage is an investment that takes a lot of time to yield; that is because you invest your time, energy, money and everything.”
