Betty Irabor and her husband, Soni, just celebrated their 34th wedding anniversary on Saturday, July 29, the Genevieve Magazine boss has now shared some words for young individuals getting married or married already.
She said: ‘What Soni and I have has taken all
of 34 years to build.. So don’t for one minute think it happened overnight,’.
‘We have walked on that street called
hope but having each other makes it bearable. A successful marriage doesn’t
happen over night it requires sacrifice and it takes effort and nurturing.’
‘You want a good marriage? Work at
it! Young couples seem to just want everything NOW NOW because they have to
prove a point and impress their audience and in the process put a lot of
pressure on their marriage.
‘A [good] Marriage takes two, it
thrives on love in action not in mere words. Marriage requires commitment,
empathy , TRUST (leave each other’s phones ALONE) don’t marry anyone you cannot
trust!
‘Don’t overburden each other with
over expectations and believe me the grass is not greener on the other side;
avoid comparing your marriage/partner to others that seem rosier; water your
own garden! In life everything is turn by turn.
‘Ojukokoro [Greed] is a vice that
destroys relationships! If you both can’t afford it then you don’t need it.
‘Let your marriage grow
organically. Do everything in love..don’t overburden each other with
unrealistic demands.
‘Marriage won’t necessarily fix a bad
relationship especially if your partner has habits that he/she won’t let go.
Fix those issues before you say I DO!’
‘If he or she is violent and slaps you around now, marriage won’t fix that, if he is insecure because you are a boss woman, that insecurity may linger and lead to resentment with time.
‘Be careful who you marry..don’t set
yourself up because ‘all your friends are getting married..’ That’s a trap!
‘Don’t over try to change your
partner into who they are not; marriage isn’t about changing your partners
essence rather it is about finding the good in each other.
‘Celebrate each bite size milestone.
A successful marriage starts from the foundation .. If the foundation is not
built on CHRIST how can it withstand the storms?’
‘To my young daughters and sons out
there I say, don’t despise the days of humble beginnings and don’t allow anyone
or society force you into a marriage you’re not ready for.
‘If you marry In haste you will
repent at leisure.. As for me, I believe marriage rocks ..but get ready to work
it.’ she said.
