Why I Don’t Take My Wife To Events - Ramsey Nouah Explains

Here is an Excerpts from a one on one interview Nigeriafilms.com had with the actor ;

How do you balance marriage and career?

I have a very beautiful wife who understands me and understands my profession. We both have an understanding of how to actually deal with things; the showbiz life, with people who go around destroying your family rather than helping it. So, we are compatible like that. That is why we have that good union.

Your wife is hardly seen at events, why is that so?

It is part of the reason, that is how we actually balance the equation, we try not to be all up in everybody face, everybody now knows my family and they can say this about her and about me that's the beautiful way to actually keep it. We are 14-years in marriage and we are still going and I love that.

What is your take on marriages of celebs that crash? 

There is nothing I can say to them, I am a celebrity myself. Whatever I say compromises my judgement. I can't tell celebrity how to hold on to their marriage, nobody can actually tell you how to hold on to your marriage. It is between the lovers; the man and the woman. It is either they are compatible or not. Most times, I would say to about 60 to 70 percent of the time showbiz actually is one of the reason why marriages crumble. So, I can't tell them what they already know. Some people put extra effort and it just doesn't work. In other words you realize that you've not found a compatible partner that's why it’s so.
