Nigerian actor IK Ogbonna has asserted that a lot of couples are unhappy in their marriages but have refused to open up for reasons best known to them.
“90% of marriages are unhappy and wear fake smiles and pretend to be happy while depression is the case,” he claimed in an Instagram post on Wednesday.
Ogbonna, who is reportedly estranged from his Colombian wife Sonia Morales, has however urged young couples to put in efforts to make their marriages work.
According to him, unlike dating, when one marries, they are totally committed to their spouse and should make sure the union lasts even when they are unhappy.
“Marriage cannot be treated like dating. You can’t just leave because you aren’t ‘happy’ anymore,” he says.
“First we must remember that u married a friend, a support system, not an enemy or competition. You are now one. And since u chose that person out of a world population of over 7 billion ppl , ur job is to protect that person always and make each other happy.”
