Actor Yul Edochie has shared his thoughts on handling unsuccessful marriages, promoting a pragmatic approach.
He stressed that marriage is not mandatory and encouraged couples dealing with irreconcilable differences to separate amicably.
Yul, who sparked controversy by marrying his colleague Judy Austin while still wed to his wife May Edochie, suggested that individuals should be open to multiple marriages if needed.
In a recent interview, he highlighted that marriage should not be seen as a do-or-die affair.
He emphasized the importance of acknowledging when a marriage is failing and exiting the relationship gracefully.
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.”
