Marriage counsellor offers advice
A marriage counsellor, Ladi Audu, who spoke with Legit.ng, shared her opinion on the situation. She advised that the husband should not rush to reconcile.
'The husband should give her time small let’s hurry Isa her mistake and learn some lessons before he accepts her back. She needs to learn some lessons since this is not the first time she is doing this. The husband should give her some months before accepting her back. Two or three months is okay so that she will learn lessons.”
Audu added,
“You can’t say it’s immaturity since she’s a married woman she is supposed to have sense for marriage. Marriage calls for patience, not manipulation.”
