Recently, veteran Nollywood actor Chiwetalu Agu and his spouse posted sincere advice for a happy marriage and prayed for unmarried people on Instagram.
I hope you get married well. He stressed that true love still exists and used his long marriage as evidence of successful partnerships.
He prayed that unmarried people might find true love and exercise caution to avoid choosing the wrong person. Do background checks before getting married.
He cautioned that getting married too soon because of peer pressure or appearance can be risky, even deadly.
He stressed that marriage is not do-or-die: if it’s abusive or toxic, seeking help—or leaving—is better than enduring harm. “Divorce is better than rest in peace”
Drawing from his own over 30 years marriage, Agu highlighted essential building blocks for a lasting union
Address issues promptly. Let love guide you back to peace instead of letting others intervene
Disputes should be handled by the couple, not outsiders
A solid foundation (communication, trust, commitment) prevents the “building” of marriage from collapsing under pressure
Make time for one another and learn to forgive—lack of forgiveness can erode a marriage
They commit their marriage to God and pray together for its success
Chiwetalu and his wife’s simple act—washing her hair on camera—spoke volumes. It wasn’t just ritual, but a symbol of mutual care, respect, and love that resonates in every tip he shared
Watch them speak below:
