She is one of the most famous Gospel artistes in Nigerian music and she has created a niche for herself. Lara George ho recently dropped a new album called‘Love Wantintin’– inspired by her 10thyear wedding anniversary that happened in September, 2014; opened up in a new interview. In this interview with Sun Newspaper she gives an insight into what her marital journey has been like so far, the challenges faced and some of the things she had to overcome. Read excerpts from her interview below: – What inspired your latest album, Love Wantintin? I feel love should be celebrated. 10 years in marriage is a milestone but when I look back, it feels just like yesterday when I got married and to be honest with you, there was a moment in my marriage when I was not that sure if I could make it to the next stage and then, suddenly, I woke up one morning only to find out that I am 10 years old in the marriage. I was so excited I wanted to celebrate and throw a party; I wanted to write a song that talks about long lasting love; that was what inspired Love Wantintin. Talking about marriage, 10 years is a long time to stay married, what is the secret? It is all about believing in God. You know, every day you have to pray and commit your family to God; it is all about prayer. The entertainment industry is very challenging because the spotlight is on us. Consequently, every flaw that you have is magnified a million and one time over. The bottom line is that one has to be very prayerful and that’s what I do. I go on my knees and commit my family to God in prayers and the prayers have been working; I just have this firm belief in God. Ten years after, could you say that your marriage has been blissful all the way? Of course not. It has not been blissful all the way. I will be lying through my teeth if I say that. No marriage is blissful 100 per cent of the time. I think the joy is being able to overcome the challenges that come, because I will be lying if I say there have been no challenges these last 10 years. Yes, my husband and I have had our own fair share of challenges but by God’s grace, we have surmounted each and every one, and my prayer is that we will continue in Christ every day till death do us part. Could you share some of those challenges you faced in the last 10 years? You know patience could be very challenging because it is the ability to understand and overlook the flaws of your partner.
