Veteran Nollywood actress Rita Edochie has offered words of wisdom on cultivating a happy and healthy marriage.

In a recent Instagram post, Rita Edochie encouraged her followers to shift their focus away from suspicion and towards nurturing their partner’s happiness.

She suggested that prioritizing a partner’s happiness can help build a strong and faithful relationship.

In her words :

“Stop checking if your partner is cheating on you; rather, check if your partner is happy. A happy partner cannot cheat unless your partner is naturally a dog.”

In reaction, many appreciated her perspective on fostering a positive relationship, However, some individuals acknowledged that the complexities of infidelity cannot be solely addressed by ensuring happiness.

@chioma_nwobi_ stated: “Mummy we are not in 1980! These days people happily cheat on their partners.”

@effedeborah insisted: “A happy partner can’t cheat ke? As a matter of fact, It is the happiness that will even drive them to go and cheat.”

@joyousbestedibles also added, “On this particular note, I would say women never blame yourself when your partner cheats. It has nothing to do with you making them happy or not. It’s definitely who he is. Whether happy or not. A cheat is a cheat whether happiness is involved or not.”
