Nollywood actress and producer, Yewande Adekoya, met her husband in the city of Ibadan during her youth service in 2008.

Was it love at first sight? The actress doesn’t know because she met him through a mutual friend that they both had. He came to visit some friends and that was where they saw each other.

Yewande said “ I guess he took a liking to me from there. Thereafter, when I came for my youth service, we ran into each other again and realised that we had met before and that was how we started dating.”

The actress talked about the many break-ups of celebrities marriages “In the first place, people must realise that no one is perfect. While no one prays for a broken home, it can happen to anyone; a celebrity or any other person. I think it takes the grace of God to sustain any marriage. Secondly, before couples go into marriages, they must also be determined to make their union work against all odds Problems could arise from families on both sides, the work place, friends and the society so, it is up to the both of you to mutually agree that the marriage must work.

She explained further “ If one person is working towards the success of the marriage and the other party puts up a nonchalant attitude, it can’t work and that’s the simple truth. You’d just be working in opposite directions and always meet a brick wall at all times but if the both really want to make it work, if you are having challenges, you should quickly realise that going your separate ways is not an option.When you put God into the mix and constantly pray too, you would be able to surmount the challenges that come your way and make your marriage a model one.
