Singer Lara George speaks on challenges of marriage and the time she was fed up

Speaking to Encomium magazine on the challenges of marriage, singer Lara George recalled a period in her 10 year old marriage where she was fed up and had to turn to her pastor for guidance...
"There were many times like that. We have had our fair share. I remember a time we weren't talking to each other. It got really serious I had to call my pastor that I was fed up of my marriage. I can remember that my pastor was not around then but he spoke to my husband that Jesus loves the church unconditionally and things were sorted out. I am glad my husband allowed someone he sees as a mentor to step into the situation" she said

On the challenges she's faced in the last 10 years of being married to her husband, Gbenga George, Lara said understanding each other has been a major challenge for her
"Understanding one another has been a challenge for me. When you are going out as boyfriend and girlfriend, you will think you have known everything about the person until you get married to the person. It is not as if I don't understand him, but there are different types of communication and understanding. When communication is complete, it means we have completed the journey. So the journey is still on, we are learning to understand each other daily" she said

Unknown said...

Good for her
I know for sure that marriage is never a smooth sail
There re rocky patch
The good days
Smiles and frowns
The important thing is the patience to see it through
Which dix days re very thin and rare and they just resort to break ups and divorce

I love when people are very truthful and open like this, especially celebrities. Most celebs like to paint that "picture-perfect" image of their marriage, while they might be going through a lot of hard times. The truth is, nothing is ever perfect...no one is perfect, and no relationship/union/marriage can be perfect. We are all different human beings who want different things out of life, so it is inevitable that when two people come together, no matter how much they might love each other, would have some misunderstanding occasionally. But the love and friendship they share would always help them work whatever they are going out.



I love this lady's music...I play that her green CD every morning in my parlor, and I am not even religious like that. Very lovely singing, and uplifting.

So, someone said the phrase "happily married" is an oxymoron. I beg to differ though. I am happy and married and happily married.

Marriage is a continuous form of learning and understanding your partner. It is sweet and sour at the same time.

hrm paul ojeih said...

must we always turn to our pastor for help in settling ,matrimonial issues there are instances of pastors capitalizing on issue in a home and they go in to ruin the marriage wen u wan marry ur guy or ur gal na pastor help u make ur mind up say this is the person that u want to be with for ever wen both of u are having sex do u invite the pastor abeg joor instead of meeting ur dad or ur mum or a seasoned family member u dey meet pastor wat if ur pastor is not married wat experience would he share with u my pastor this my pastor that resolve ur issues and forget ur pastor

Unknown said...

understand is one the key factor in any form of relationship. I guess I learn from what she said...

BORN TO SHINE!!!

Mummy Prince said...

That's marriage for you. Everybody has his or her own challenges. We need to pray and work on our challenges so that our marriages can move on for good. Nobody is a saint when it comes to marriage. We are all learning and God will help us to perfect in Jesus name. Amen.

she can police!! but i don't blame her sha, glad i didn't contribute to her marriage wahala,cos what goes around def comes around

i don't see a thing wrong with her going to her pastor. Rather than her getting a divorce without doing anything about it. At least things are going towards the positive path. Pray God help us all.

Lara, God will perfect your marriage. you are an inspiration to so many through your songs. All the tracks. I use Dansaki as my ringing tone and I played it every blessed day.

Marriage is not always perfect. it is a sacrifice that you have to make it the way you want. God bless ur home.

And u are very sure of their end because you are god????.....if u are d enemy that wants to put asunder into their marriage, Jehovah shall put asunder into your life. You shall be ashamed and confounded, ur shame shall be epic and your disgrace shall be everlasting....

Anonymous said...

I love Lara George, and her music is very inspiring, I listen to it to motivate and uplift me!!! She used to be so slim, now she was gotten fatter, she should take it easy, with all the junk food!!! And like someone said, it is not every time, that you have a problem in your marriage, that you go to your so-called Pastors..... Some of these Pastors are not to be trusted!!! Lara wishing you and your husband a very happy married life, God bless your home!!! Whizman
