Though there are many couples in the entertainment industry whose
marriages have worked and have stood the test of time. Some are married
to pilot, presenters, businessmen and women; others chose to be with
those that understand their profession.
Even though many have done everything to keep their marriage going, others have backed out seeing that they were not compatible.
Majority
who have stayed together as movie stars and musicians have attributed
it to friendship and trust while others see it as dedication to each
other.

Olu Jacobs & Joke Silver
One of these couples is veteran
actor and wife Olu Jacobs and Joke Silva. The actor agreed that though
it’s not been always rosy, they disagree to agree on their differences
and that has kept them going.
“Friendship. We are each other’s
very close friend. It’s not as if we don’t have close friends outside
our marriage, but I think we are both each other’s number one close
friend. The other thing is mutual respect, the fact that we both share
the same passion about the area of entertainment that we are in.
Of
course, the various challenges that we’ve faced over the years, we’ve
learnt how to surmount them together. At different times when it is
necessary, we have both learnt to forgive each other. I guess the sum
total of what I’m saying is that God’s grace has been present in our
marriage.” he explained.
As many in the entertainment industry
would want to say that would not want to be in this list, but we are
just taken a look at just few of those who are both in same industry and
are doing very well. | | |
