Fasholamania Boss, activist and businessman, Kayode Salako has
revealed in details how the desire to enjoy his marriage forced him to
consult 65 pastors before marrying his busty celebrity wife, Foluke
Daramola.
Since February 15, 2013 that the couple tied the knot, they are
still going on strong and stronger. When asked how he was convinced his
wife will be the perfect match after he had gone through a previous
divorce, he said: “I did not fancy Nigerian actresses. When I met
Foluke, she never proved to me that she was the stereotypical actress.
She is a very good cook, washes my underwear, she is homely and not
outgoing. In fact, I now prod her to go out. She prefers to be at home
with her husband and the children. She is very reasonable, mentally
upright, focus and ambitious. She is godly and she can recite 25 psalms
in the Bible off hand. She is not money conscious, fun to be with and
till date, we still live as friends. We have many things in common. We
are activists, we both believe in fighting for our rights. I wasn’t
expecting to marry a perfect woman. I have decided to be her father, her
boss, her friend and a teacher. When I was getting married, I told
everyone in my family to go all out and make inquiries if she is my
wife. I consulted about 65 pastors before I made up my mind on her.”
Speaking about his family's reaction after he hinted them of his desire to marry a divorcee, he said: “I
wasn’t expecting to marry a perfect woman. I have decided to be her
father, her boss, her friend and a teacher. When I was getting married, I
told everyone in my family to go all out and make inquiries if she is
my wife. I consulted about 65 pastors before I made up my mind on her.”
When asked how they handle misunderstanding, Foluke said: “I
was in a marriage before, so making amends when there is a wrong is no
problem. Most of the time, I say, ‘I’m sorry,’ it does not cost anything
to apologise. If not given, it can degenerate to anything. Fortunately,
he does not suffer from inferiority complex. The kind of upbringing I
have is contentment and love. I want to have my husband, children and
run my home. When we were about getting married, my father-in-law was
skeptical and some of his siblings. I made everybody realise that acting
is a profession, which I happen to find myself.”
Kayode added: “Foluke is stubbornly reasonable but quick to
accept her fault. She kneels down and apologises and sometimes, sheds
tears to show she is indeed sorry. I love her very much, she is like my
baby and I don’t fail to tell her when she is wrong. Our quarrel doesn’t
last an hour. We are not in this marriage by accident but by the will
of God.”
Asked on what he thinks is the secret to a happy marriage, he said: “Maintain
that channel of communication. Discuss it all because when you don’t
tell her she might not know. Secondly, understand each other. Know your
wife and who she is. You must also be friends. Also a man should learn
to overlook especially if you are married to a celebrity. I read a book
where a writer said nothing is a problem, only thinking makes it so. If
you attach meanings to every issue, marriage heads for the rocks. Not
all the time should you overlook but when you want to make a complaint
let it be in the confines of your bedroom. Let the man be mentally
mature too and be confident in himself. Also, learn to share. A man
should not allow his wife do all the chores and he wants to share her
money with her, it fails. She is not your slave, she is a human being
that deserves happiness.”
Foluke then said: “The woman is motivated by what she hears and
the man, what he sees. Women make the mistake of not spicing up their
marriage. What are those things that attracted him to you? Then, don’t
stop. He loves my legs and I wear short skirts at home for him. You have
to put your man on his toes. Read books and know what excite your
marriage. Also, men don’t tell their wives ‘I love you.’ Pay her
compliments. I wash his undies, cook special diet. In fact celebs go the
extra mile to make marriage work. We try to pamper, make men feel
special and want homes. We need confident men. Take care of your man.
Say, ‘I love you’. My husband tells me every morning, ‘I love you.’"
