Ghanaian YouTuber based in the United States of America, Chef, Naa Adjeley, popularly known as Sweet Adjeley, has asserted that the success and stability of a marriage depend more on the actions and decisions of men than women.
Sweet Adjeley made the surmise in an interview with Ghanaian blogger, Zion Felix, while revealing the success behind her marriage, which has lasted for two decades.
Sweet Adjeley noted that based on her many years with her husband, Kojo, she has come to the conclusion that “women don’t hold marriages. It is men.”
According to her, men are unwavering in their decisions, unlike women; hence, her husband’s decision to treat her well like he would his sister has maintained the joy they have enjoyed since they got married.
“From my experience, I feel my husband has held it up because I feel when a man is done with you, there is nothing you can do to change his mind, but women, we are easily swayed. One moment you are hating your husband and the next, depending on how the man handles the situation, you fall right back in love with them,” she said.
For Sweet Adjeley, her marriage continues to be pleasant mainly due to the actions of her partner, whom she says, treats her like to would a relative.
“It has been good. But I can’t take the credit for it. I have to give all the credit to my husband. Maybe he can give me some credit, but I can’t. Twenty years is a long time but if it wasn’t for my husband, you see he sees me as his younger sister. He is 10 years older than me.”
She continued, “He makes peace with me. I am hard headed but if he knows I’m upset with him, when he gets home and I’m at the kitchen, he knows I don’t like tickling but he will tickle me until I laugh.”
On her part, Sweet Adjeley said she gives her husband the respect he needs and, at all times, tries to do what he likes.
“Me respecting him, trying my best to do what he likes is what has kept it. I will forever give the credit to my husband.”
