Nollywood veteran Rita Edochie has started off the new week by sharing a heartfelt message with married men, encouraging them to prioritize their wives and resist the temptation of extramarital affairs.
In a post on her Instagram page, Rita Edochie cautioned men against mistreating their wives for temporary attention from other women. She pointed out how quickly time passes and how the excitement of cheating soon fades, leaving behind regret and a newfound appreciation for the woman they once took for granted.
The actress stressed the importance of seeing a wife as more than just a partner, but also as a friend and confidante who supports her husband through all of life’s challenges. Rita Edochie emphasized that the loyalty, love, and commitment of a wife should never be exchanged for a brief moment of pleasure.
In a lengthy post, she wrote:
“You don’t have to treat your wives badly because of a roaming side chick. In the nearest future, age will drop on your side; only then will you realise the value of that poor woman you mistreated. 👌
Men, let’s get real! Don’t trade the love, loyalty, and commitment of your wife for a fleeting affair with a side chick. When the thrill fades with age—and it will—you’ll be left with regret and the realisation of the value of the woman you mistreated. 👌
Your wife is your partner, your friend, and your confidante. She’s the one who stands by you through thick and thin, through triumphs and failures. She’s the one who builds a life with you, who shares your joys and sorrows.
Don’t let anyone break what you share. Don’t let the temptation of a side chick undermine the foundation of your marriage. Prioritise your relationship, nurture your love, and cherish your wife.
The future may be unpredictable, but your commitment to your relationship shouldn’t be. Choose to invest in your marriage, to build a strong and lasting bond with your wife. When the side chick’s interest fades, your wife will still be there—and you’ll realise the value of the love you’ve been given,” Rita Edochie wrote.
