Acclaimed Nigerian songstress, Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems, has opened up about her views on marriage, disclosing that she believes marriage should be a desire for advancement and not based on mere feelings.
Speaking in a recent interview with media personality Angie Martinez, the multiple Grammy winner said she believes that marriage could potentially go through hard times and is of the opinion that people should approach it with the awareness that it won’t also be rosy.
Tems noted that due to the uncertain nature of marriage, she prefers a God-fearing partner because, according to her, such a person will be accountable.
“My partner has to be a God-fearing man. Because why would you truly love me if you don’t have anyone that you answer to? If you’re not accountable to anyone, how could you choose to love and keep loving me for the rest of our lives?
“If you’re the god of your life, why would you love me forever? You could just discard me anytime you want. But marriage is something that makes you better as a human being. It should. It shouldn’t be about only love, it’s about compatibility. It’s about whether a relationship makes you a better person, like it evolves you. Because marriage is a whole another level, it’s supposed to bring out the hard times,” she stated.
