A Nigerian preacher, Dr. Charles Apoki who has been married for 38 years shares an insight into why it takes some level of stupidity to stay happily married.
Dr. Charles Apoki in a viral video listed some individual qualities to consider before making a move to settle down with a partner.
According to the preacher, it takes some level of stupidity, tolerance and anger management to keep a marriage going while stating that intelligent people have higher chances of keeping up.
He cited this as a contributing factor to the end of the marriage of American businessman, Bill Gates and his ex-wife, Melinda.
In his words;
“If you cannot tolerate the following things, don’t get married. Number one, if you cannot control your temper, do not get married. If you cannot tolerate stupidity, do not get married. If you cannot say sorry even when you are right, do not get married.
I have been married for 38 years. Falling love is ‘common sense leaving your brain’. It takes stupidity and tolerance to remain married. Those who are too smart like Bill Gates and Melinda don’t remain married. Most Nobel prize winners and very intelligent people do not maintain one relationship. It takes some level of stupidity to remain married. I have been stupid for 38 years.”
