Monalisa Chinda-Coker Tells African Men How to Bring out the Best in a Woman
Seasoned Nollywood star and mama of one, Monalisa Chinda -Coker, took some time to share some insightful post on relationship via her Instagram page.
According to the 42-year-old actress, who remarried last year September (read here), she grew up watching her parents serve one another. She then concluded that African men fail to understand that acts of love and respect brings out the best in a woman.
She wrote;
”I grew up watching my parents serve one another. Relationship is not just a union but a partnership designed by God. A man must derive pleasure from serving his girlfriend/wife.
This can only be achieved in a relationship based on true love and mutual respect. A woman becomes even more beautiful and adorable for the man that pampers her.

The ever dashing diva has an 8-year-old daughter, Tamara Lily, from her first marriage. In a chat with ThisDay last year, before her marriage to Tonye Coker, Monalisa talked about her failed marriage with the father of her daughter.
”God forbid! He’s a closed chapter in my life. One thing I regret most is the fact that I am divorced. Where I come from, I am the first daughter. I am from a royal family; it was never on record in my family that the first daughter would walk out of her matrimonial home.

But it (my marriage) was a matter of life and death. Otherwise, I would have stayed back and make my marriage work. I tried to make it work, but it takes two people to tango.
That’s the only thing I regret, having to raise my child without the father. It’s a bit painful. But I have to live with it. It’s better that way than to expose my little daughter to all sorts of domestic violence. It will definitely disorient her and affect her upbringing.
She will be dysfunctional. God knows the best. May be, I should have been more careful and make my marriage work.”

There’s no point trying to save a marriage all by yourself, you did the right thing by taking your daughter and walking away, no child deserves to witness the evil called domestic violence.
Tell them Mona.
