Nollywood actor Yul Edochie recently shared his perspective on marriage via social media, emphasizing that it’s not a “do-or-die affair.” His comments come in the wake of fellow actor Bolanle Ninalowo’s announcement of his separation from his wife, Bunmi Ninalowo.
In a Facebook post made on Saturday, Yul Edochie, a father of five, offered advice to couples and encouraged them not to force their unions. He stressed that there is no one-size-fits-all formula for a successful marriage.
Edochie, who has been in the spotlight for his enduring relationship with his second wife, Judy Austin, stated, “Marriage is a beautiful thing, don’t let anyone discourage you. If your dream is to get married, go ahead and achieve your dream.”
He went on to explain that while certain tips could contribute to a long-lasting marriage, there is no guaranteed formula. Relationships can vary greatly, and success in marriage isn’t solely determined by the length of time a couple has known each other.
Edochie also highlighted that the reasons behind marriage difficulties are often not revealed on social media and that only the couple truly understands what went wrong.
Furthermore, he emphasized that marriage is not something one should be willing to sacrifice everything for, stating, “Marriage is also not a do-or-die affair.” He encouraged couples to make efforts to make their marriage work but acknowledged that sometimes, despite their best efforts, a marriage may not succeed. In such cases, he suggested that individuals should wish each other well and move on, recognizing that different journeys in life have their own unique paths.
In conclusion, Yul Edochie conveyed a message of love and peace, underlining that some relationships last a lifetime, while others come to an end to pave the way for new beginnings. His message aims to provide perspective and support to those navigating the complexities of marriage and relationships.
