Despite being an actress, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde’s
marriage rates as one of those to have lasted 20 years and still remains intact.
As a marriage ‘veteran’ she chose to advise other
celebrities on what makes marriage work. At the just concluded Africa
International Film Festival which held in Lagos, the fair-complexioned mother of
four opined on religion as the bedrock for a lasting union.
Omotola, who attends Oyedepo-led Winners Chapel in Ota,
told the audience, “If you’re a Christian and you marry someone who is not born
again then you are on your own.”
Meanwhile, in an interview Kemi Ashefon conducted with
the couple two years ago, the actress has proffered tithes as an ingredient for
lasting marriage.
She said, “Pay your tithe individually. It’s a
covering. This is our secret. When you don’t pay your tithe, you have not
committed yourself and your home will not be put together. It is your foundation.
But when you pay your tithe, God helps you take away every devourer. When that
is taken care of and you are God-fearing, as darts are coming from every angle,
you are already fortified.”
At the film festival, pretty Omotola explained that, “Your
partner needs to be stronger than you. They are the ones getting the aftermath
of your own action.
"Choose a partner who understands entertainment. Don’t choose your fan. Personally, I don’t believe in love at first sight.
"Pick someone who sees your heart, your soul, someone who sees the real you and not afraid to tell you about your flaws.
"Discipline is key. Everyone wants freedom but too much freedom is bad. Be disciplined. It’s better to be an enemy to a work partner than to your family. Learn to say No!
Advising against sex for roles, Omotola who is married to Captain Matthew Ekeinde said, “Sometimes you will get a role for giving yourself out but you won’t be able to retain it.
"If you become famous it will later haunt you. But don’t run away from your sexuality, don’t shy away from who you are, enjoy who you are, come on there but come out with substance.
