The idea that love is all that is required to make a marriage work has been debunked by Nollywood actress Ijeoma Thomas, who feels that love is not enough to make a marriage work.
According to the actress, who was seen in a movie role proposing marriage to Yul Edochie, love is not the foundation of marriage, and that there are other factors that contribute to marriage and the family unit.
“There are so many divorces and separations nowadays because love doesn’t keep couples together, love can’t save the marriage,” she continues. Everyone who has divorced or is separated was once in love with each other.
In fact, many divorced or separated still love each other, but they can’t stay togrther since the other factors are missing or were never present at the beginning of their relationship. They were both blinded by flesh and self-centered. Today, what we call love is self-centeredness.”
In a one-on-one interview with Potpourri, Ijeoma, who began producing her own films in 2009, discusses additional elements to consider while making a marriage work.
“A successful marriage is built on knowledge, understanding, wisdom, respect, values, love, and trust. Now that you, as a girl, understand the worth of your guy, you will honor and respect him by proposing him before you lose him to another.
In the same order, when a man knows the worth of his lady, he will give her that joy and happiness by proposing to her before loosing her to another man; thus, before you take that step as a man to propose to your lovely lady, ask yourself what her value is. Not in terms of money or values, but holiness, cleanliness, transparency, respect, and honor. “These are some of the factors that a man should look for in a lady he wants to marry,” she says.
The actress concluded that either the man or the woman can make the marriage proposal.
