‘Love Isn’t Enough’ -Nigerian Man, @Pellentini Writes On What Counts When It Comes To Sustaining A Marriage

A Nigerian man identified on Twitter as @Pellentini has dropped his two cents on marriage and what makes it last.

Taking to his page, Pellentini stated that although love is needed between married couples it is not enough to sustain a marriage. He went on to reveal that components such as patience, compatibility, tolerance and communication are the things that will keep the union standing.

He advised his fellow brothers and sisters who are single to find the one who compliments them and must look out for the qualities aforementioned.

He tweeted;

“See ehnnn! When it comes to marriage, leave love by the door 1st. Where patience, compatibility, tolerance & communication will hold the forte for you, love won’t. Not saying love isn’t needed but it’s not enough. There’s no manual to this shit, just find who compliments you.

For better understanding. No 1 said love doesn’t encompass all these. Do you love someone you’re just meeting? Won’t you look out for the qualities listed before you actually start loving them. I said when thinking of marriage not when you’re in it. It’s different.”

Do you mean love or emotions? Because love is all encompassing.. Except you don’t know the definition of love.. In love is patience, tolerance, being slow to anger, believing the best..etc..
