It takes stupidity and tolerance to remain married – Man who has been married for 38 years says

A Nigerian physician has shared a perspective on maintaining a successful marriage, suggesting that possessing a certain amount of ‘foolishness’ is crucial.

In a video that has gained widespread attention, the individual, who introduced himself as Dr. Akpoki, conveyed that he has been in a marriage for a span of 38 years. He offered a list of traits that individuals should be able to handle if they intend to marry: managing one’s temper, tolerating what might be considered as ‘stupidity,’ and being able to apologize even when in the right.

According to him; ‘’If you cannot tolerate the following things, don’t get married. Number one, if you cannot control your temper, do not get married. If you cannot tolerate stupidity, do not get married. If you cannot say sorry even when you are right, do not get married.

I have been married for 38 years. Falling love is ‘common sense leaving your brain’. It takes stupidity and tolerance to remain married. Those who are too smart like Bill Gates and Melinda don’t remain married. Most Nobel prize winners and very intelligent people do not maintain one relationship. It takes some level of stupidity to remain married. I have been stupid for 38 years.”
