Nollywood actress Yewande Adekoya has advised couples planning to marry to consider personality assessments and mental health evaluations before tying the knot.
In a video shared on Instagram, Adekoya emphasised that such tests are essential for understanding a partner’s mental state and ensuring a successful, stable marriage.
She encouraged potential partners to assess for conditions such as bipolar disorder, ADHD, schizophrenia, depression, and other psychological factors that could impact marital life.
“This message is for you if you’re about to get married. You have prayed, fasted, and done every test necessary to ensure that you have a good marriage. But there’s something inside of you telling you, ‘Are you sure you have done everything?’” she said.
Adekoya further advised that if a partner refuses to undergo these evaluations, it could be a warning sign.
“When you carry out this test, you get to know what kind of marriage you’ll have. If you meet your partner and tell him to carry out such tests, and he says no, please run. The person knows what you don’t know,” she explained.
The actress stressed that embracing science is crucial for marital success and urged couples to prioritize mental health assessments alongside spiritual and emotional preparations.
Her message has resonated with many fans, highlighting the growing awareness of mental health and compatibility considerations in relationships among young Nigerians.
