Popular Nigerian Businessman and Economist, Joseph Olaoye Jaiyeola, has candidly shared four key principles that he believes contribute to the success of his marriage. This insightful revelation took place during an interview with Storyteller media, and the entire conversation is available on YouTube.
The first rule he disclosed is a unique approach to handling disagreements. He encourages his wife to publicly agree with whatever he says, even if she believes it is incorrect, and then privately correct him later. This strategy allows them to present a united front while addressing any misunderstandings in private.
The second rule involves using their relationship as a shield. Jaiyeola advises his wife to use him as a cover-up when faced with situations or requests she isn't interested in pursuing. This way, he acts as a protective buffer, and if the proposed action aligns with their shared values upon review, he can effectively convince her to consider it.
The third rule focuses on maintaining harmony in front of their children. Jaiyeola emphasizes that disagreements should be kept private, urging his wife not to argue with him in the presence of their offspring. This creates a stable and positive environment for the children to grow in.
Lastly, he underscores the importance of discipline within the family. The fourth rule dictates that his wife should not act as a refuge for their children when he administers discipline. This ensures that his authority remains unchallenged and final within the household.
Joseph Olaoye Jaiyeola, who currently serves as the CEO of the Nigerian Economic Summit Group, has been happily married to his wife, Soledemi Olutoyin, for an extended period. The couple is blessed with three children, and their enduring relationship is a testament to the effectiveness of these principles in maintaining a successful and harmonious marriage.
