Grammy award-winning Nigerian singer Tems has outlined her perspective on marriage, stating that she believes it should be grounded in personal growth rather than emotions alone.

In a recent interview with media personality Angie Martinez, the singer described marriage as a complex commitment that requires realistic expectations. She noted that relationships are not always smooth and should be approached with an understanding of their challenges.

Tems also emphasized the importance of accountability in a partner, explaining her preference for a God-fearing man. According to her, such a foundation provides a sense of responsibility that strengthens long-term commitment.

“My partner has to be a God-fearing man,” she said, adding that accountability plays a key role in sustaining love over time.

She further explained that marriage goes beyond emotional attachment, highlighting compatibility and personal development as essential factors. Tems said relationships should contribute to individual growth and help partners evolve, especially during difficult periods.

The singer concluded that marriage represents a deeper level of commitment, one that tests individuals and encourages maturity rather than relying solely on feelings.
