Veteran Nollywood actor Chiwetalu Agu, alongside his wife, recently took to Instagram to share heartfelt marriage advice while offering prayers for singles seeking true love.

The beloved actor, known for his colorful expressions on screen, used his over 30 years of marriage as a testament that genuine love and lasting unions still exist.

“May you marry right. True love still exists,” he declared, encouraging singles not to settle or rush into relationships blindly.

He emphasized the importance of background checks before saying “I do,” warning that appearances and peer pressure can lead people into abusive or deadly marriages.

“Marriage is not a do-or-die affair,” he said. “If it becomes toxic or abusive, it’s better to walk away than stay and lose your life. Divorce is better than rest in peace.”

Chiwetalu and his wife also shared essential building blocks of a healthy marriage, drawn from their personal experience:

Handle disputes privately: Couples should resolve issues themselves rather than involving outsiders.

Let love lead: Let affection, not anger or ego, guide reconciliation.

Build on trust and communication: A strong foundation can withstand life’s pressures.

Practice forgiveness: Unforgiveness, he said, slowly eats away at a relationship.

Pray together: They keep God at the center of their marriage through joint prayers.

In a touching moment captured on video, Agu was seen gently washing his wife’s hair—an act of care that resonated deeply with fans.

More than just a chore, the scene symbolized mutual respect, humility, and enduring love—values he believes are essential for any successful union.
