Marriage is not a do or die affair, if it's not working walk away - Yul Edochie tells couples

Actor, Yul Edochie, has weighed in on navigating unsuccessful marriages, advocating for a practical approach.

He emphasized that marriage isn't obligatory and urged couples facing irreparable differences to part ways amicably.

Yul, who stirred controversy by marrying his colleague Judy Austin while still married to his wife May Edochie, advised individuals to embrace multiple marriages if necessary.

During a recent interview, he underscored that marriage shouldn't be viewed as a life-or-death commitment.

He stressed the importance of recognizing when a marriage isn't working and gracefully exiting the relationship.

In his own words, "Marriage isn't a decree. If it's not working, walk away. Respectfully. No need for unnecessary pain. If you find someone else you want to marry, go ahead. And if it doesn't work out again, move on. You can marry multiple times. Everyone's happiness is different, and don't let anyone dictate what's best for you. Find what works for you. And if you've chosen not to marry in this lifetime, then don't. Prioritize your happiness."
