After 17 years of marriage, Nollywood actress and producer,Omoni Oboli is in a
good position to give advice on marriage.
In an interview with
Punch,when asked how she has kept her home intact,
she said
I don’t know if I keep my home intact; I believe God does that for me.
There are many women who do the right things and show up at every time
for their husbands and still get the short end of the stick. So I don’t
take credit for it. I have my moments and he does too, but somehow it
has never tipped the scale and that’s because God made it possible.
Nevertheless, I believe that when you understand that you’re both
different individuals who have become one, then you can try to weather
any storm, knowing that if you don’t, both of you will have a dreadful
life in that marriage. Enjoy it and seek for the things that make for
peace because life is too short to waste it fighting.
I have an understanding husband who knows what my job entails and I
don’t disrespect him, so we assume responsibilities to fill up the gaps
that the other is lacking. My career keeps me away from my family often,
but with love and understanding, family and career have never been at
war in my home.
