A Nigerian doctor has taken to social media to highlight how marriages can last.

According to Dr Akpoki who has been married for 38 years, it takes tolerance and stupidity to stay married.

He also warned that if one cannot control their temper or apologize even when they are right, they have no business getting married.

He said;

‘’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.”
