Life coach Alice Frimpong Sarkodie, has said that not every good person makes a good marriage.
Speaking to Asieduwaa Akumia on Prime Morning Thursday, she said the fact that an individual is good doesn’t guarantee a good marriage unless both partners are compatible.
"So if you are not already married, it is not just every good person that you can marry. The fact that the person is good doesn’t mean that the person is compatible with you. People just marry people because he is a good guy and she is a good girl. A good marriage is formed by more than just a good person. The person must be compatible with you. Your values, your principles, and even your experiences must be common somehow," she said.
According to the life coach, individuals in relationships must be ready to sacrifice in order to meet each other’s expectations and maintain balance.
"Love is about being there for someone and someone being there for you. So before you go expecting so much, what else have you brought on board or done for the person? Now you mentioned that some people might have been disappointed during Valentine's Day. Why? Because they were expecting A and B. Okay, as they expected, what else did they do to fulfil their partner’s expectations? So it's not so difficult to learn and strike a balance, but as you want someone to do something for you, you also ask yourself what you can do for the person, and you even ask them sometimes," she added.
Ms. Sarkodie also advised individuals to know their partners and their abilities before entering a relationship or marriage.
This, she believes, will stop unnecessary comparisons as that will only breed conflict.
"Me, my father never bought a bouquet. What do you mean? Me, my father never went to the kitchen. What do you mean? Do you understand? You already married her and you too you made that mistake. You saw your father going to the kitchen, your father buying bouquet and when you were going for a man, you did not find out that the man can do those things. Now, you’re also expecting and pressing it on him. He has to buy you bouquet, he has to be in the kitchen with you and here, there is conflict," she said.
Madam Alice Sarkodie said people are not perfect and relationships have good and bad sides.
However, a relationship where couples communicate and sacrifice for one another will be successful.
