If Your Marriage Is Not Working, Get Out Fast – Joke Silva

Screen goddess, Joke Silva – who is happpily
married to ace actor, Olu Jacobs – in a recent
interview with Nollywood Insider had this to say
about the high rate of divorce in Nollywood.
“Long surviving marriage is not exceptional in this
industry. The thing is that, we are the ones that
people know.
Sony Irabor and Betty; John Momoh and Shola;
and Bayo Oduneye have been married much
longer. What of the late Justus and his wife? We
have marriages that have stood the test of time
just like you will find in other professions.
For me, since you love the person you get
married to, both of you should work at it
together. See it as your main responsibility once
you get married.
Even before you get married, you should ask
yourself, am I capable of making this person my
total responsibility? That, am I willing to dedicate
my time to making this person happy? It is a two
way thing; it is not only the woman that is
supposed to make the man happy, it is also for
the man to make the woman happy. It is the two
of you together and when you do that, it will
work out well.
But if not, I don`t support emotional hardship just
because you want to marry. God forbid bad
thing! If it is not working, get out fast. If you don’t
know where you are going, you should know
where you are coming from.”
