The name Mercy Johnson hardly needs any introduction. The celebrated Nollywood actress recently had a sit down with Leadership newspaper during which she revealed how she has been able to sustain her marriage this long and what keeps it going through the rough patches. She relived touching experiences where she had to confide in her husband and look to him for support.
When asked about the generally believed notion that actresses do not make good wives, Mercy had this to say:
Well, I can only speak from my own perspective and when I say my perspective, I mean from my personal experiences, marriage and relationship with my husband. One of the biggest lies anyone can tell himself/herself is using one or more random experiences to judge and stereotype others. We all have our different stories to tell.
I have two children for my husband today and he has not stopped talking about how down-to-earth I was yet I am an actress; not just any actresses. I had a large following at that time yet I did not go around pouting my lips or playing the snub. My husband later confessed to me that for him, it was love at first sight but that did not stop him from asking me to cook for him the first day I set foot in his house.
