Betty Irabor: Don’t Let Other People’s Failed Marriages Define Yours
Betty Irabor is urging Nigerians not to let other people’s marital struggles discourage them from believing in marriage. The publisher and media entrepreneur, who has been married for 43 years, says every relationship has its own story and should not be judged by the failures of others. She acknowledges that marriage takes patience, commitment, sacrifice and emotional maturity, and that couples will face disagreements and difficult seasons. It can also bring companionship, laughter, shared victories and personal growth. Irabor says people can learn from others’ mistakes without inheriting their fears. She adds that marriage is not for everyone, but believes it should not be dismissed as a doomed institution.
