What do you appreciate about him/her?

Bunmi: Heā€™s vision-minded and strategic, I mean, he plans well and thinks of the future, he listens to me and apologizes when heā€™s wrong or when Iā€™m wrong and I emotionally blackmail him (lol). He supports my passion, heā€™s very knowledgeable and can approach anybody.

Adebola: Sheā€™s caring, loving, cooks well, creative, playful and romantic. Sheā€™s very blunt and corrects me when Iā€™m wrong.

What do you wish he/she improves on?

Bunmi: Keeping his voice low because he has a naturally loud voice, so I always tell him to keep his voice down whenever heā€™s talking and especially when heā€™s angry.

Also, he needs to learn to be calm in upsetting situations and live for the moment sometimes. And yes, I told him he has OCD. Heā€™s obsessively organized and he makes me feel like Iā€™m the dirty one. Lol. He needs to take things easy abeg. And he should learn to take more pictures and also take pictures of me without me asking. Hehehe.

Adebola : She needs to stop procrastinating and learn to save more.

How does he/she complement you?

Bunmi : He is a good planner, saver, and does things he sets his mind to do without procrastinating while Iā€™m the exact opposite! Iā€™m grateful for these.

Adebola : Sheā€™s more of an introvert while Iā€™m an extrovert. Sheā€™s calm while I tend to take things too seriously. She always tells me to be in charge of my emotions.

Who apologizes the most?

Bunmi: He does. Iā€™m learning from him.

Adebola: Me.

Ā How do you settle quarrels?

Bunmi: Communication. It doesnā€™t always have to be verbal. Sometimes I write epistles and send them to him via WhatsApp. Followed by an apology and sometimes, makeup *clears throat* sex! *straight face* Lol.

Adebola: Communication and detailed explanation when necessary.

Ā What do you think are the ingredients of a happy marriage?Ā 

Bunmi: Compatibility of values, mutual love, humour, and respect,. There cannot be a happy marriage without a good sense of humour.

Adebola: Forgiveness and selflessness, caring about the other party first.

Ā What are the most important lessons youā€™ve learnt in marriage so far?

Bunmi: Not to say hurtful words when angry, love is a decision and not just a feeling, quarrels are normal in every relationship, do not keep record of wrongs, donā€™t compare your marriage or your spouse with others, and always speak up and donā€™t expect your partner to know what you are thinking.

Adebola: To correct in love and love your spouse for who she is.

If there was a next life, would you love to be married to him/her? Be sincere.

Bunmi: Oh yes! But because Iā€™m creative and love to experience new things, I might want to know what itā€™d be like to be with someone else. Lol.

Adebola: Yes. I wish I had married earlier. Lol.
