NOLLYWOOD actress, Juliet Ekeson has shared her views regarding why celebrity marriages are crashing in this part of the world.
According to the actress, most marriages are crashing today because there’s no love again among famous couples.
She stressed the need for courtship before marriage, stating that it enables the parties to understand themselves and ascertain whether they are compatible for marriage.
In her words: “There’s no friendship any more. You need to develop that friendship before going into marriage. When you don’t marry your best friend, it can’t last. You marry a lady because she has big boobs, curves, and she’s in the limelight industry. You want to hang around her or perhaps sleep with her. And, thereafter, you rush into marriage.
“But such marriages never last. This is because, at the end of the day the man will have all those things he wanted in quantum, and before you close your eyes, the love has disappeared into thin air.
“That’s why marriages are crashing these days because the couples don’t actually understudy themselves to ascertain if they are compatible in marriage.”
She added: “Marriage is different from friendship. In friendship, you visit your lover and return to your home or you hang out with him or her. That’s why friendship lasts, but it’s not so with marriage.
“When you guys are married, you begin to behold each other’s strengths and weaknesses. And from there, the love will start diminishing. That’s why it’s important for couples to understand themselves better before going into marriage. Courtship is the panacea to successful marriage.”
