‘Marriage is not a do or die, walk away from unhappy union’ – Yul Edochie
Marriage is not a do or die thing. If you see it is not working, walk away respectfully. You don’t have to hurt each other
Nigerian popular actor, Yul Edochie, has called on unhappy couples to walk away from unhappy marriage.
He dropped this advise when he sparked a fresh debate on divorce in a recent interview with White Pearl.
Edochie stressed that marriage is about personal happiness, not public opinion, and encouraged remaining single if it brings happiness.
He said: “For me, marriage is not a do or die thing. If you see it is not working, walk away respectfully. You don’t have to hurt each other. And when you walk away and you see the next person and you decide to marry, go ahead and marry. If e no work again, go. If you see another one, marry. If e no work again, go. You can marry 50 times as long as it works for you.
“You can’t control how people react towards you. And what makes me happy is different from what makes you happy. Don’t let anybody tell you what’s good for you. Find out what works for you. And if you decide in this life that you will not marry till you die, please do. Be happy.”
