5 Reasons Why Celebrity Marriages Fail, By Praise Fowowe. by taiwoti(m): 9:58am On Oct 24, 2014
The massive celebrity divorce cases in recent times have raised
questions in different groups. Everyone seems to be asking. Why
do celebrity marriages fail? Praise Fowowe, highlights 5
reasons why celebrity marriages fail.

1. Upbringing
I always tell people that there is nothing called a bad marriage;
you can only have two bad people or one bad person upsetting
the system. People attribute marital breakups to several reasons
but the part no one talks about is the upbringing of the people
involved. If you have not been brought up as a whole person
from childhood, by the time you get married you are already
destroyed and naturally you won’t be able to run a marriage.

2. Unhappiness
We often assume that because a person can speak English or act
or sing, we assume the person is sane but most of the time I
realise this is not true. When I counsel people and they tell me
they are not happy in their marriages, the first question I ask is,
“Have you ever been happy in your life?” And they realise they’ve
never really been happy.

3. Wrong intention
People get married for the wrong reasons. Some because they
feel it’s the next thing to do. Some feel because they have
money, while some others do it because all their friends are
married. These reasons signal that your reason for getting
married is wrong.
Only dead people can marry successfully. You have to be dead
to yourself, dead to your ego; dead to what you think is right,
dead to culture, dead to religion, dead to a whole lot of things.
I’ve been married for over 8 years so I know what I’m talking
about.

4. Pride
If I didn’t know many of these celebrities 10 years ago, I would
have thought they were not born in Nigeria, because of the
quality of lives they are living. Some of them wore patched up
school uniforms while some were from extreme poverty.
Suddenly, they start making money and they become totally
different people.
It’s shocking that we are in such a hurry to catch up with
Hollywood. We are not just producing like them; we are
beginning to act like them. For those who find themselves on the
red carpet consistently, when they get married, they don’t know
how to switch from red carpet to domestic mode so they still
carry the red carpet mentality into their homes.
At home, I’m a husband to my wife, a father to my children. I’ll
be stupid to expect my wife to accord me the respect my fans
accord me. She did not marry a celeb, she married a Praise
Fowowe. That’s why I don’t know the difference between red or
green or blue carpet. When people live their lives thinking that
endorsement deals are a big deal then there is no way their
marriages wont crash.

5. Low self esteem
We have people who think that being on the red carpet is a big
issue. If you find yourself on the red carpet and think you’re
bigger than the whole world, you have a self esteem problem
and self esteem has nothing to do with whether you’re a
celebrity or not. I realise that people who behave like that are
people who are very poor. Poverty has nothing to do with
money; poverty is a thing of the mind. When you’re mentally
poor and you have something that looks like money, you’ll be
rude to people.
I’m free enough to eat roasted corn on the road.
Because you’re a celeb, when your car breaks down you feel
pressured, meanwhile it’s a normal thing. If I have to go from
my office to Opebi and there is traffic and I have an
appointment to catch, I will pick a NAPEP and go where I want
to go. It doesn’t change me.
When people have low self esteem, it manifests in so many ways
so we call it irreconcilable differences. Irreconcilable difference
is another word for immaturity. Mature people can reconcile every now and then.

They always try hard to make people notice their marital environment..They take the hypocrisy and fakeness they showcase in movies into their marriages,refusing to be original and simple.

To me it is just one reason :
Fake life .... Most celebrity especially our Nollywood wannabe lives fake life and marriage is home of reality far from Ramseh Noah and Funsho Adeolu acting husband for Ini-edo and Funke akindele ....

You will see this actress being far from whom they depict on TV , na custume and make-up artiste dey make them dey tight and majority of people who marry them married their TV character thus by the time they show you their real personality away from TV,.. you go run and regret every bit of your encounter with them ...

Also, Majority of actress/Actors lack the sense of keeping away their celebrity life away from marital life .... As well as keeping their marital vows since being a celebrity usually involve sexual and romantic mingles with creame de la creame of the industry @ slight opportunity and odd times in order to stand relevant .... Using being on location to perpetrate their evil deeds against their marriage !!

Marriage is not meant for celebrities !

@ op u forgot to mention;

High expectations, Busy schedules and lastly, Narcissism


Narcissism
When millions of people tell you that you are awesome, scream when they see you, it's easy to believe you are indeed awesome and treat your spouse like you are better than them and know everything better than them. It happens to most celebs ,especially among newly-celebs, it's not something too unusual to come across.
