The popular Nigerian
drama TV series ‘This Is It’ is one that I would never forget for years to
come. Apart from the fact that the movie changed the narrative about marriage,
it also reveals the challenges that young couples could face in their marital
lives and the ways they could solve them.
Portraying the lives of
the couples in a way that makes it look genuine and authentic, This Is It is a
must-watch for all young adults that are looking towards getting married.
Summary
of This Is It.
The creator of the
popular series, LowlaDee, started airing it on her YouTube channel. However,
the series was later acquired by several TV networks.
One amazing feature of
the movie is the fact that it featured stories from real-life young couples at
the end of the series.

Now, let’s find out the 8
lessons from the award-winning series, This Is It
(1)
True love will always
stand out
One of the qualities that
I love about the series is the way they portrayed love in its true form. The
love Tee and Dede shares are one that will always stand the test of time. It is
genuine and will rarely fade away. And this is the type of love that we want to
see in all marriages. The kind of love that will make couples fully prepared to
fight for themselves and dream of a happy-ever-after.

“There is no perfect.
There will always be struggle. You just have to pick who you want to struggle
with.”
This quote is from one of
my favourite movies titled Before We Go. This quote explains that
there will never be ‘perfect.’ Never! No couple can claim a happy life forever.
There have to be struggles. There have to be stumbling blocks at some point in
time. What matters is who you pick to struggle with.
(3)
Marriage requires
sacrifice
If you’re not ready to make
sacrifices at some point in time, I’m sorry, but maybe you’re not prepared for
marriage.
(4)
Family is everything
Even though you’ve
finally moved in with your spouse to start a new life, your family will always
be your biggest supporter. Also, the family you create with your spouse will be
everything to you.
(5)
We all need that one good
friend
We all need that one
person that we can confide and trust in. We must have a good friend that can
proffer the best pieces of advice as we struggle with getting used to a new
phase in life.
(6)
Honesty is key
This is your spouse;
someone you’ve promised to spend the rest of your life with. What could you
want to possibly hide from such a person? Honesty is key in marriage and it
will promote the trust and confidence that spouses have for one another.
(7)
Communication is key
One of the key
foundations for all marriages is effective communication. The ability of a
couple to easily talk about anything and everything with each other will foster
their relationships.
(8)
Marriage requires
patience and understanding
This is self-explanatory.
I mean, what is a marriage without patience and understanding?
