Ghanaian highlife musician Akwaboah Jnr. has shared deep insights into his marriage, revealing why he chose to settle down with his wife, Theresa, instead of his past partners. In an interview on The Delay Show, he opened up about his romantic journey, past relationships, and the qualities that led him to marry his wife.
Akwaboah, known for his soulful love songs, admitted that he had children with two different women before meeting Theresa.

He emphasized that beyond love, peace of mind was a major factor in his decision to marry.
According to him, his wife’s character stood out. She was not only respectful and understanding but also supportive of his music career and personal growth. “I wanted someone who genuinely respects and values me, not just for my music but for who I am as a person,” he said. He also revealed that his wife was a virgin when they got married, which he found admirable. However, he clarified that it was her overall qualities, not just her virginity, that made her the right choice.
Akwaboah believes that marriage is a lifelong commitment and should be built on a foundation of trust, respect, and genuine companionship. “I wanted someone I could build with, someone who would be my peace,” he said, adding that his wife has brought him the stability he had been searching for.
His revelations have sparked discussions on social media, with many applauding him for choosing a partner who brings him happiness and others debating the role of past relationships in shaping one’s future choices.
