How marriage has shaped my character – Anita Joseph

• Anita Joseph has opened up on how her union with MC Fish has affected her attitude as a person.
• She said her relationship has helped her become a much more better person by shaping her into being more patient and protective.
• Anita Joseph added that in marriage the gap regarding her tribe and that of her husband has been bridged with her efforts.

Actress Anita Joseph has reflected on her marriage to hype man Michael Fisayo, known as MC Fish, with the conclusion that the union has positively shaped her character.

Celebrating their fourth anniversary, Joseph highlighted how marriage has taught her to be more protective and patient, emphasizing the significance of the heart in a union, regardless of external influences like family or tribe.

She said:

“Marriage has influenced me in a very positive way. I have learnt to be more protective and patient.

“What matters the most is one’s heart. One’s parents or other family members won’t be in the marriage with you, so it is basically one and one’s spouse forever.

So, if one chooses someone from a different tribe, it is Okay. One’s happiness comes first.”

Despite the cultural variances between her gbo background and her husband’s Yoruba heritage, Joseph shared her efforts in bridging the gaps while expressing gratitude for her mother-in-law’s teachings in Yoruba.

Addressing critics who doubted the longevity of her marriage, the curvaceous actress said she is happy she has proved them wrong while attributing the success of their union to God’s grace. Anita Joseph added:

“My mother-in-law speaks Yoruba to me and I say ‘eshe’ (thank you). I have learnt a bit, though it has not been easy.”

“As regards my post on Instagram on my wedding anniversary, I wrote that some people and even blogs said that my marriage won’t last, but I ‘sent’ it back to them and their sisters. God’s grace has kept my husband and I together.”
