Our very own global sensation, Temilade Openiyi, famously known as Tems, has once again got us talking! This time, it’s not about a new hit song or a Grammy win, but about something far more personal: marriage. In a recent chat with media personality Angie Martinez, Tems spilled the tea on her thoughts about tying the knot, and let’s just say, her perspective is as unique and refreshing as her music.
Marriage Isn’t Just About ‘Feelings,’ Says Tems
Forget the fairytale romance for a moment, because Tems believes marriage is way deeper than just butterflies and soft feelings. According to the multi-Grammy winner, marriage should be seen as a journey for personal advancement and growth, not merely an emotional high. She understands that the road ahead won’t always be smooth, emphasizing that couples should go into it with their eyes wide open, knowing that tough times are part of the package.
Why a God-Fearing Man is Non-Negotiable for Tems
Given the unpredictable nature of marriage, Tems revealed her non-negotiable requirement for a partner: he must be God-fearing. And her reasoning? It’s simple yet profound. She believes that a man who answers to a higher power is inherently more accountable, not just to God, but also to his partner.
“My partner has to be a God-fearing man. Because why would you truly love me if you don’t have anyone that you answer to? If you’re not accountable to anyone, how could you choose to love and keep loving me for the rest of our lives?” Tems passionately explained.
She further elaborated, “If you’re the god of your life, why would you love me forever? You could just discard me anytime you want. But marriage is something that makes you better as a human being. It should. It shouldn’t be about only love, it’s about compatibility. It’s about whether a relationship makes you a better person, like it evolves you. Because marriage is a whole another level, it’s supposed to bring out the hard times.”
Tems’s take on marriage is a powerful reminder that beyond the glitz and glamour, a solid foundation built on accountability and shared values is crucial for a lasting union. It’s not just about love; it’s about growth, compatibility, and having someone who is committed to evolving with you through thick and thin. What do you think about Tems’s views?
