Speaking in a recent interview with Icampus magazine, popular actress Dakore Akande revealed the secret about how she’s been able to keep her 5 year old marriage to her hubby Olu Akande.
“Yes, marriage is under siege but through a lot of prayer. Joint prayer. My husband and I, we make a point of duty to always pray together no matter the schedule. We just identify that God is our mainstay and that He is the third cord in our strand. I realized that whenever we start to deviate from that is when trouble would come. God instituted marriage and the only way it is going to work is if we tap into that source, which is God. And apart from that, it has to do with the encouragement of both families because the two families have to encourage each other.’’ She said.
Going further, she also discussed the challenges they have overcome and how she has been able to learn from her parents’ marriage.
“We do have our challenges, don’t get me wrong. My parents split up after seventeen years of marriage. I know what that means. I have that at the back of my mind. We did marriage counseling and that still helps.”
