A lot of Ghanaians do not believe in celebrity marriages.

There are times when some Ghanaians can predict the number of years the marriage of a popular person will last when the marriage is announced to the public.

On April 2, 2017, 53-year-old actress Mercy Asiedu tied the knot in a beautiful ceremony with Nana Agyemang Badu Duah, the Chief of Kunsu in the Ahafo Ano South District in the Ashanti Region, who also doubles as the CEO of Messiah Productions.

It has been seven years since the couple began their marital relationship, and speaking in an interview with Emelia Brobbey on the Okukuseku Show, the popular Kumawood actress disclosed how she has been able to sustain her marriage for such a long period when asked by the host of the show.

In response to the question, Mercy Asiedu revealed that one of the moral guidelines she has applied in her seven years of marriage is patience, saying that is the secret to her blissful marriage.

"My husband and I have been married for seven years now. One of the secrets behind a good marriage is patience. When I was young, although I wasn’t old enough to get married, I used to go for women's fellowship, and during one of the services, a pastor said when his church members come to him for marriage counselling, especially the women, he tells them that a successful marriage depends on the wife.

An example is, let’s say, your husband went out and has kept you longing to return home. Out of anger, you refused to set the table for him, and when he asked you, you rudely directed him to the kitchen to serve himself. When your actions begin to generate issues, you will blame your husband for not being a good husband. In every marriage, you have to act like a fool," she said.

"I have said to myself that in this marriage, the only time I will take my ring off is when I die. Even with that, my husband will be the one to take it off. This is because I don’t know what will make me leave my marriage. Maybe unless my husband runs away from me, but if he doesn’t, then I am stuck with him," she added.

The Kumawood actress used the platform to express gratitude to her husband for how he has been supportive of every project she has undertaken relating to her career.
