Nollywood actress, Nse Ikpe-Etim, has narrated the journey of seven years in marriage to childhood friend and husband Clifford Sule.

In a post on Instagram on Friday, the 45-year-old said she never knew their relationship would last this long and that there were times they “just wanted to down tools.”

She added: “I am glad we held on tighter regardless of all the elements, we let our love prevail. 7 years hasn’t been easy, it’s been pure work and commitment…I love the past (all of it) and can’t wait for the future…Happy anniversary to us both.”

It’s been 7 years now and I never thought we’d make it this far.. Life has not been perfect, I haven’t been perfect and they’ve been times when we just wanted to down tools ?, questioned our choices and decisions that led us here. I am glad we held on tighter irregardless of all the elements, we let our love prevail. 7 years hasn’t been easy, it’s been pure work and commitment. It gets easier because we have each other, yes we are different, but here we are even tighter… our storms have made us closer even braver to face more only because we have each other. You’ve taught me that love is not easy, not comfortable but love is more beautiful when it undergoes changes. I love the past (all of it) and cant wait for the future… Happy Anniversary to us both. ? @isaacemokpae #LoveAndLight #7years #Anniversary #Cliff #NseIkpeEtim #ValentinesDay #ValLovers #TGIF #ThinkAndThin #Bond
