Tems, a Nigerian musician, has offered her opinions on marriage, emphasising the importance of progress and purpose over feelings.
During a recent interview with media personality Angie Martinez, the Grammy-winning performer stated that she feels marriage should be approached with an attitude of advancement rather than merely feelings.
According to Tems, relationships, particularly marriage, are bound to face difficulties, and people must be prepared for moments that may not be pleasant.
She stated that because marriage is unpredictable, she believes it is critical to choose a God-fearing mate.
In her opinion, such a partner is more likely to be accountable and dedicated to making the relationship succeed.”My companion must be a God-fearing man.She believes that such a spouse is more accountable and devoted to a successful partnership.
“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.
