“Hey guys, I just want to remind you that marriage is a beautiful thing. Marriage is beautiful, don’t get it twisted. Ignore that narrative that is constantly being put out there that marriage is tough because people are leaving their marriages. If there are a 100 people leaving their marriages today, there are a 100 thousand people who are still happily married.”
The socialite went ahead to add that marriage changes people, but it is important for one to marry a kind person even when there are issues in the relationship.
She explained that the kindness should not only end with them, but it should also extend to their family members and every other person who means something to them.
Elsie added that when someone marries a kind partner, even when they have misunderstandings which are normal in relationships, they would still be there for them.
She said:
“You need to understand that people change, people grow, and then marriage would change you. Sometimes, marriage would bring out that part of you that you never knew existed, that’s what marriage would do to you, but the one thing that stands out for me is kindness. Whatever you do, make sure you marry a partner that is kind and it shouldn’t just end with you. Marry a partner that is kind to you, to your siblings, to your parents, to your loved ones, everyone who means something to you. Marry a partner who sees your parents as his or her parents or that sees your siblings as their own siblings. When you marry a person that is kind, when you fight, because you must fight, he or she still looks out for you, they’re worried that you haven’t eaten, they want to get your food even though they are not talking to you, when you’re sick, they stylishly buy you medicine and put by your bedside so you can see it and take it, when you’re sleeping they help you adjust your duvet. In all you do, while you are making your preparations or your plans, make sure it is with a kind person because kindness is key.”
