These days where Muslim men are still marrying as much as four wives, Christian ladies should respect and honour Christian men who choose to be with only one woman. Even in the Bible, most men have much more than one wife, yet Christians of today are trying to turn things upside down.
Things are so bad these days that Christian ladies now see themselves equal with men and many don't even see reason to accord their man any special respect. No wonder Christian marriages are collapsing.

It's only the few ladies who understand that a man who has decided to be with just one woman has made a lot of sacrifice that will enjoying their marriage for as long as possible.

Actress Mercy Johnson has discovered this truth and she is doing the needful. Her words below:

There is a notion that actresses do not make good wives. What is making your marriage work?
Well, I can only speak from my own perspective and when I say my perspective, I mean from my personal experiences, marriage and relationship with my husband. One of the biggest lies anyone can tell himself/herself is using one or more random experiences to judge and stereotype others. We all have our different stories to tell.

I have two children for my husband today and he has not stopped talking about how down-to-earth I was yet I am an actress; not just any actresses. I had a large following at that time yet I did not go around pouting my lips or playing the snub. My husband later confessed to me that for him, it was love at first sight but that did not stop him from asking me to cook for him the first day I set foot in his house.

At first, I was stunned that a Nigerian man was asking me to enter his kitchen to cook him a meal. A part of me whispered to me that perhaps, he was not aware of who I was and when I said to him: ‘You must be joking. My name is Mercy Johnson’. What shocked me even more was his response when he said: ‘I know’. Rather than take offence, I was drawn closer to him.

We have been married since 2011 and we love each other to bits till date and have consciously decided to spend the rest of our lives together. As I said earlier, I am an actress who is correcting the rigid stand that actresses cannot have happy homes when they get married. Also, bear in mind that there are several Nigerian actresses like me who are happily married. Having a happy marriage is a choice a woman has to make. When you decide to have a happy marriage, you focus your thoughts, actions, words, work and everything else around protecting that happiness.

On the high divorce rate among celebrities, Mercy Johnson said:
In marriage, you must have trust and you must also have love. The moment you lose these two, then it is just a matter of time before you embark on a calamitous countdown towards the end of your marriage. My relationship with my husband has been very special. He is not just my husband or father of my children. He is my friend.

She also spoke about the secrets to the stability of her marriage;
I don’t even have to think about it. It is honesty. I remember the words of my pastor to me even before we got married. He advised me never to have a marriage built on lies and I listened. I don’t lie to my husband.
- Ladies, those of you who are not too arrogant, hear what this wise lady is saying for your own good.
