“Big weddings put pressure on couples and on the marriage” – Ruth Kadiri says as she advices couples

Actress Ruth Kadiri-Ezerika has spoken about the pressures that a big wedding places on a couple and also on their marriage. 

The actress stated that many marriages fail because of the pressures they place on themselves to have a big wedding. 

She pointed out that people have multiple occasion, starting from the engagement party, to the traditional wedding, court wedding, church wedding, and this can take a toll on the relationship.

She stated that all of that is not necessary and young people can take away the pressure by just having an intimate ceremony with just a few close family members.

She said she had such a wedding and she is still married after 7 years, whereas some who had a big wedding are separated after just two months.

She stated that, considering her career path, she has been able to have a successful marriage and she attributed this to having a small wedding.

She also said many are suffering infertility in their marriages because of what someone did to them spiritually during their big wedding.
