In a new interview with Punch, Timi Dakolo is spilling some gems
on making marriage work as he advises couples to never bring their
marital issues to social media.
Read excerpts below…
On never bringing his marital issues to social media
Love is not enough in marriage; the best way to keep a
marriage is to trust your companion. People put themselves under a lot
of pressure, life is very simple. I usually ask my wife who is
‘toasting’ her presently. We are human beings and the first thing you
have to do is be friends with your spouse. It is not every time you feel
like loving another human being, sometimes the issues of life may make
you keep to yourself. There are times I would cut off from my children
but when I realise that I am giving them too much space, I would come
back. Sometimes, the pressure of what you are doing takes a toll on
you. I always create a balance in life.
There is no family that does not argue or fight but we have a rule in
my house: we will never argue in the presence of the kids. If I cannot
argue in the presence of my kids, why would I put my family problems on
social media? Marriage is for two, three is a crowd.
Why he uses his wife in his music videos
These are things that I say about her and I show her. If I
am singing about her, there are some things that you will say that you
can’t tell just anybody. You can only say it convincingly to your wife
