SINGER Tems says marriage should be a desire for advancement and not based on mere feelings.
During a chat with Angie Martinez, Tems said that marriage could potentially go through hard times as she advised that people should approach the institution with the awareness that it won’t also be rosy.
The multiple Grammy winner said that due to the uncertain nature of marriage, she prefers a God-fearing partner because, according to her, such a person will be accountable.
“My partner has to be a God-fearing man. Because why would you truly love me if you don’t have anyone that you answer to? If you’re not accountable to anyone, how could you choose to love and keep loving me for the rest of our lives?
“If you’re the god of your life, why would you love me forever? You could just discard me anytime you want. But marriage is something that makes you better as a human being. It should. It shouldn’t be about only love, it’s about compatibility. It’s about whether a relationship makes you a better person, like it evolves you. Because marriage is a whole another level, it’s supposed to bring out the hard times,” she stated.
