30TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY: Betty and Soni Irabor's Advice To Singles & Young Couples

Getting married has been described as easy, but staying married is indeed a problem to many. How about taking the duo of Betty and Soni Irabor as a case study. 30 years of marriage and they are still going so strong.

For those who are not familiar with them, Betty Irabor is the publisher and Editor-in-chief of
Genevieve magazine while hubby Soni is equally a renowned TV personality.
When asked to comment on what makes their marriage ticks, here's Betty's advice for couples on how she and hubby get through the bad days:
"We do have our roforofo moments but we work it out. A marriage where couples don’t communicate and bear grudges is likely to be an unhappy one.  Talk it over and don’t keep digging up the past. Forgive…forgive…forgive. What I know for sure is that Christ is the foundation of a good marriage.  
Having said that, I would like to add that when the time comes for anyone to choose a life partner, choose a partner who is not embarrassed to say “I am sorry” when he is wrong and never makes you feel small so he can appear taller.  Marry for all the right reasons and never for what you can get out of it when you haven’t put anything in. 
Marriage takes Two: They say the future of a marriage lies in the hands of the woman but I say it takes two. Marriage is one of the world’s biggest collabos between two strangers. It has no manual; you learn on the job."
