Can You Stay 16 Years In Marriage? Majid Michel Advices Youths
Famous Ghanaian Movie actor, Majid Michel expressed how he feels after staying in a marriage for 16 years.

Together For 16 Years...Patience is a virtue...Do you have it?
I can give you uncountable lists of successful men who married their long-time lovers, the women who were there for them when they couldn't yet figure out this thing called life. Contrary to popular opinions, I quite believe a successful marriage is built on friendship. The rest becomes a bonus and every reasonable man in the world knows this: Van Vicker, Stonebwoy, Obama, Ed Sheeran, Lionel Messi, 2Face, myself, etc, married the women who were there for us every step of the way. Such women are priceless. They bring the best in you. It's been over 15 years now and I can proudly say my wife, Virna, is responsible for our success. She's not just the love of my life but the rock of our family. I have never cheated on my wife though I get tempted and I know most won't believe it because "Majid is a bad guy".
Today's society has changed a lot. It's all about instant getting, to the extent that some ladies neglect boyfriends with bright future to date married men with some little money. Too much haste and impatience. Can you ever settle down with him? Do you think he will leave his wife for you? Even if he does, your marriage will never work. As Ghanaian children, we were always told not to rob Peter to pay Paul. If so isn't it advisable to stay faithful to that young man and build a common future than jump into the arms of a 40-year old man?
Virna is my long-time sweetheart and we are almost the same age. We didn't have anything - we only had friendship and support and belief in each other. I don't believe in quick things - you meet someone today, straight away you have sex and call it love. Well, that's not my philosophy. Love is not sex and sex is not love.
Love is patient! Don't forget humans are complex and you need time to get to know people and that's usually possible through building friendships. You aren't in a race. You aren't competing with anyone but yourself. So take it easy on yourselves!
Truth is, life isn't always sunshine and rainbows. Don't let social media and the media itself deceive you into wanting a life that's not real. You need someone to lean on. You need someone who believes you are worth more than material things and that with or without the fancy things life remains a beautiful adventure. Dear ladies, he's 24 and broke so he's not in your class? Well, at what age did your father make it that you want to give someone's son a mental breakdown? Even in developed countries, it's hard to find someone making it big before 30 unless such person comes from a wealthy family. So let's be patient with one another. Money isn't everything...rich people don't necessarily have successful marriages.
In conclusion, dearly young people, learn to give yourselves a chance. Take it easy and appreciate your humble beginnings. Step by step you will also get there. Patience is a virtue; and if so, then permit me to ask: do you have it?
