There are some popular Nollywood actresses who are now over 40 years and unmarried. These are some of those movie stars.
Getting married is maybe one of the most difficult decisions a person has to make, that is if the person wants to be married. The process of finding the right partner is almost as difficult as making heaven. In ancient times, parents married off their children against their will, could be for personal benefit, poverty e.t.c. Matchmaking was very common and marriages lasted longer.
These days, people want to marry the persons they love, ignoring other long term attributes and forgetting that love alone is not enough to sustain a relationship.
Due to personality differences, relationships are unstable and sustainability takes two good partners who are willing to make it work against all odds.
