Nigerian popular singer Temilade Openiyi, widely known as Tems, has shared her perspective on marriage, stressing that it should be approached as a path to personal growth rather than being driven solely by feelings
Speaking during a recent interview with media personality Angie Martinez, the Grammy-winning artist noted that marriage is not always smooth and should be entered with a realistic mindset. She explained that couples must be prepared for challenges and understand that difficult moments are part of the journey.
The singer emphasised the importance of choosing a partner who is accountable, revealing that she prefers a God-fearing man. According to her, accountability to a higher authority is essential for sustaining long-term commitment in a relationship.
Tems questioned the idea of unconditional love without a sense of responsibility, suggesting that a person who does not answer to anyone may struggle to remain committed. She argued that such accountability strengthens the foundation of a lasting union.
She further described marriage as a transformative experience that should foster growth and self-improvement. Beyond love, she highlighted compatibility as a key factor, adding that a meaningful relationship should help both partners evolve and become better individuals over time.
