Iyanya Offers Insights on Marriage Amid Rising Divorce Trends Among Young Couples
In a recent episode of The Kingz Corner podcast, renowned singer Iyanya Onoyom Mbuk, popularly known as Iyanya, shared his perspective on marriage, shedding light on its intrinsic beauty amidst the growing prevalence of divorces within the entertainment industry.
The ‘One Side’ artist conveyed his belief that Nigerians should cultivate the ability to look past instances of “bad marriages,” preventing such cases from overshadowing the overall perception of the institution of marriage.
Iyanya urged individuals not to let negative experiences dictate their expectations of marriage, emphasizing that discovering someone who loves and is willing to make sacrifices can lead to a beautiful marital journey.
During the podcast, Iyanya expressed, “I believe that if you find someone who loves you and is willing to sacrifice, it [marriage] is beautiful. I know people who are happily married, not that they don’t have challenges, but I’ve watched them protect what they have. Some people who are happily married are not on Instagram; they don’t post valuable moments. They keep it, they cherish it.”
The artist also underscored the impact of social media on marriages, encouraging couples to discern whether their marriage is primarily “social.” He cautioned against excessively showcasing relationships on platforms like Instagram, emphasizing the significance of privacy and safeguarding precious moments.
Iyanya’s insights arrive at a time when divorce cases among celebrities frequently make headlines. His optimistic perspective on marriage seeks to instill a more balanced and realistic outlook within the public domain. As the entertainment industry grapples with relationship challenges, Iyanya’s message serves as a reminder of the enduring beauty that marriage can embody when founded on love and commitment.
