Empress Gifty, a Ghanaian gospel vocalist, has noted that infidelity is a part of marriage and that couples should mentally prepare themselves to prevent disappointment.
In a subsequent interview with Accra FM, the Aseda music star stated that cheating is a part of marriage and that people should accept it in order to avoid emotional pain.
“What I can say is that, if you are a married man or married woman, cheating is part of marriage,” Gifty noted.
“If you don’t bear that in mind, you will go mad when it happens to you. You see, don’t see your husband as Holy Ghost. Don’t consider your wife as [Hail] Mary. No. Acknowledge that your partner is a human being. Think about divorce just as you thought about your wedding,” she added.
She clarified that it is easier to forgive one’s partner if you prepare your mind for such incidents.
“You are able to forgive if you see it as their weakness. Because if you don’t love their weakness, the marriage will not survive,” she further stated.
Empress Gifty married New Patriotic Party (NPP)’s Hopeson Adorye after her first marriage with Prophet Elisha Osei ended in 2014.
They got married on December 28, 2019.
According to her, some gospel musicians and bloggers contributed to her divorce.
“There were some of the gospel musicians I confided in who went behind me to destroy me. These people would send false information to my ex-husband through different phone numbers. These were people who had worst marriages but went out to spoil my marriage,” she said at the time.
Empress Gifty and Hopeson Adorye have not relented in publicly professing their undying love for each other on several occasions, particularly on social media.
On her birthday last year, Hopeson Adorye reaffirmed his love for the gospel musician, saying “you are my last stop and I love you the way you are.”
