How My Marriage Changed My Relationship With My Friends - Blessing Nze

It is not news to anybody that marriage is one of the most transformative steps a person takes in their lifetime. A marriage can either elevate a person's life or completely crash it. By extension, it can also change a person's relationship with those around them who knew them before they were married. This is what newly wedded Nollywood actress Blessing Nze is realizing.

Blessing Nze got married to her husband, fellow actor Stan Nze September of last year. Now, the actress and wife is opening up to The Sun about how marriage has completely changed her life as well as the relationships she has with her friends. Here are all the ways Blessing told The Sun that marriage has changed her.

Speaking to The Sun about how her marriage has changed her and the dynamic she has with her friends, Blessing Nze said:

Marriage has made me become more deliberate about my actions. For instance, I’m like, ‘you are a married woman, you can’t just stay out late, you can’t always go out and forget yourself’. If for instance I go out with my friends and we end up seeing a couple of movies late into the night because we don’t want to get home and be bored, but now that I am a married woman, I can’t (do so) because I wouldn’t want to be perambulating Lagos like a homeless person. So, I think there is a sense of responsibility now, but not from a place of being forced, it is just me talking to myself.

When people get married, they get so comfortable. It feels like a box that has been ticked, but they are not really interested in servicing it as such. You’ve ticked the box and you’ve moved on.

So, what else? My greatest fear will be not really nurturing my home, keeping and building my home to be that place I always want to come back to, and make it a safe place for my husband. Sometimes, you see some couples fight like enemies and you begin to question why, because they used to be in love. So, what went wrong? Like my husband would always say, ‘this one that this love is just doing us, hope tomorrow we would not say ‘to your tent, Oh Israel’ and I’ll say, ‘we don’t need to work too hard to make this thing, we are already here’.

What do you think of what Blessing said? Marriage does indeed just take a lot of work and effort from both parties to continue to allow it to last and flourish. It's also interesting how she said things that she did with her friends before she can't just do anymore because it is something a lot of young people going into marriage don't understand - how much it changes you as a person. I'm happy to see Blessing getting candid about these things and talking about things as they are.
