Genevieve Nnaji is yet to get married and explains what her criteria are for choosing her right partner:
“As for marriage, it’s every woman’s dream to get married. We
can’t lie to ourselves. I do want to get married but overtime I have had
opportunities to get married but I realize getting married is not
actually the problem. The problem is finding someone you are compatible
with because I’m born Catholic, I’m raised Catholic, I don’t believe in
divorce. If I get married, I really want to stay married and staying
married is not an easy thing. It means you are completely in tune with
your partner. It means you’ve found your soul mate because you’ll have
to be able to stand a lot of disappointments that would definitely come
but then again you have to learn to forgive.
For me, before I choose a partner I have to ask myself if this is the kind of person I would be willing to forgive no matter what when the time comes. If the answer is no, then that person is wrong for me. That person is not the person you want to get married to. If you know you can look into someone’s eyes and say yes, this is the most you can do to me. If you actually cheat on me the first time, I can find it in my heart to forgive you. If you can answer that question honestly and truthfully to yourself then you’ll know if that person is your partner or not. So compatibility is the word aside from the physical attributes that have to go with it.
I need to be comfortable because I’m a woman and I’m used to a certain lifestyle.”
Even though the person may say they can forgive even when she cheats, can that be guaranteed? And will that not let some partners go ahead and cheat because they know they can be forgiven?
