“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 said.
She added that marriage should be about personal growth and compatibility, not just love. “Marriage is a whole another level. It’s supposed to bring out the hard times, and it should make you a better person,” she explained.
Tems emphasized that choosing a partner who shares values and faith can strengthen the bond and help couples navigate the challenges of marriage together.
