The singer cum Nollywood actor said many people see him and think he is stupidly in love, but they do not understand that it takes effort to keep the marriage.
Veteran entertainer Charles Oputa, popularly known as Charley Boy, attributes the longevity of his 46-year marriage to his ability to navigate and manage various aspects of the union.
Charly Boy made this known in a post via his Instagram page on Tuesday.
The singer cum Nollywood actor said many people see him and think he is stupidly in love, but they do not understand that it takes effort to keep the marriage.
According to Charly Boy, he sometimes gets tired of the marriage but keeps pushing because they have ‘decided to both die here.’
He said, “When people see me and my wife of over 46yrs, dem go think say we are stupidly in Love. Humm, it’s not like dat ooo. Some go say, “it’s good to marry your friend. Some go say, ” Dis na how I want my marriage to be” referring to our longevity.
“True true, no marriage is “made in heaven” I emphasize that successful unions require hard work, commitment, and cultivation on Earth, no union is divinely perfect from the start. Marriage is a fragile thing dat can easily crack. It is something built through effort, not just found.
“Make una no dey look us like say we are free of problems ooooo. As I dey so, am a champion manager, even when sometimes wey I no dey feel am again, I keep pushing. Anyway, for us, we have decided to both die here. Na over try dey worry me sef.”
