I got married when I was just 22. In those days, we weren’t afraid to carry responsibility. We didn’t wait for a perfect wedding or social media approval. We understood that love is not enough—marriage needs patience, respect, and endurance. These things don’t come from excitement or feelings alone. They come from choosing each other, every single day.
Marriage is not for people who want perfection. It is for people who want to grow, who are willing to fight for something bigger than their pride. I’ve been married for over 50 years. We had our fights, our silence, and our pain. But we never made divorce the first thought when things got hard. We stood and fought, not against each other, but for each other. That is why I am still standing strong today—not just in film, but in my family too.
