According to the gospel artist, the three things that are important in marriage and also help build a healthy marriage are; respect, trust, and love.
The gospel artist has shared a few tips that have kept her second marriage to Hopeson Adorye running. In an interview with Emelia Brobbey on Okukuseku, the gospel artist Empress Gifty said that marriage is not to be taken personally but should be treated like friendship in order to understand each other.
“It is now that I have understood marriage. Marriage used to be very personal to me. So I felt the pain whenever something little went wrong. Marriage is not to be taken personally. It is friendship. If I get home and I cannot make banku, Ayibge (as she fondly calls her husband) will make the banku, and I will grind the pepper, so we eat together. When I’m tired, I tell him to order shawarma and Fanta. By the time I get home, it’s ready. We eat, gist, and go to bed. There’s no pressure.”
“Everything about me now in my marriage is about friendship. Respect, trust, and love; are these three things that work in marriage. If I respect my husband, he will love me. He will take it away from me if I disregard his freedom. And so I respect what has been given,” she concluded.
