Veteran Nollywood actress, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, has advised couples facing disapproval from a partner’s family to make genuine efforts to build understanding rather than hastily ending their relationship, while warning that unions should be reconsidered if such opposition proves impossible to resolve.
Speaking on relationship dynamics in an interview on The Morayo Show, which was shared on YouTube yesterday, the actress noted that partners should first try to win over resistant relatives through patience and sincere engagement, explaining that some families initially oppose relationships because of preconceived biases.
She, however, stressed that not all opposition can be overcome, cautioning that some families who appear to change their stance may revert to their earlier hostility, further warning that such circumstances demand careful consideration, noting that marriage itself is already demanding without the added strain of unsupportive in-laws.
