Nana Ama McBrown Speaks About Her Marriage Amid Cheating Allegations
Renowned Ghanaian media personality and veteran actress Nana Ama McBrown has spoken publicly about her marriage amid allegations of infidelity against her husband.
Speaking to students at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), the astute media personality explained that she complies with her husband’s instructions as a sign of compromise for the success of the marriage.
McBrown said that while she does treat her husband well and acknowledge his leadership role in the home, she also calls attention to his shortcomings. She explained that she gives her spouse two warnings before she reacts harshly to his mistakes and inappropriate actions. She went on to say that if he did it for the fifth time, she would have to tell his father about it.
“I respect my husband and let him be the leader of our home. At home, I’m a wife, not a celebrity. I have a way of doing everything. For example, if I come home and see that my husband hasn’t eaten, I find a way to make him feel better. I figure out how to make him feel better and calm down immediately.
“However, this does not mean that when he returns from the club at 3 a.m. I won’t talk about it. No! I will give him two warnings before I strike the third time. No, I won’t be polite. When it happens for the fifth time, his father will get to hear about it. Even if his father slaps him in front of me, there is nothing wrong with that. “It is an eternal correction,” she explained to the audience.
McBrown also counseled that women should be financially independent before getting married because marriage is not the ultimate goal. She stated that the greatest decision she ever made was to establish herself professionally before getting married.
“Marriage shouldn’t be your top priority. I’ve been married for twelve years, and before I met my spouse, I was an adult. One of the things that helped me feel at ease after marrying my husband was that I had already discovered who I was. I was an independent woman. I bought my first house before I got married, so it’s safe to say I didn’t need a man.
She continued by saying that while marriage is important, it shouldn’t be prioritized over a person’s sense of fulfillment and identity.
“If you leave your spouse, society says you’re a bad person. You enter with the sole motive of submitting yourself. They make it look like when you enter, you cannot come out. In my case, I respect my marriage. We make it look like when you’re married, the rules are different from when you’re living alone. Yes, marriage is a tradition, and we must respect tradition. However, we have a life to live,” she added.
