Olu Jacobs, 72 and Joke Silva, 52, have been married for a little over 27 years after the Nigerian Movie Legend proposed to Joke in Tunisia in the days of their youth.
Their long lasting celebrity marriage has off course caught the fancy of many. In a recent interview, beautiful and ageless Joke Silva shares a little of what has been keeping them together.
According to her....
"We had our challenges in the early years, each person fighting for their own space within it, for their own right to be who they were within the marriage, so that was a bit of a challenge but over the years, we have learned to respect the other person's views. We have also learned over the years to respect each other's ideas and views and so we are comfortable with each other; there are times when you do have the bursts ups, the anger, the 'that's it', I have had enough, I am getting out of here, but we always make up,' Joke recalled.
'I do cook but my husband is the kind of persons who likes cooking a lot. I can't stop him from doing what he likes to do.
These days, I think there's a lot of pressure on marriages, as people always want to please the society."
Good we go emulate
