Ghanaian actor, Adjetey Anang, has disclosed that it was a difficult period for him marrying for seven years without a child.
‘Pusher’ as he is widely known following his role in
popular television series ‘Things We Do for Love’ in an interview said
some people who knew about the situation advised him to resort to other
means in order for his wife to conceive but he did not heed to their
advice.
“Even from places that you can’t even
think of imagining; Church…a man came to me at church and had this
bottle and said it is from an old lady in Togo. Once you sprinkle it in
water for your wife… but you shouldn’t tell your wife.
“So there was so much pressure, people would say well you are not bound to have kids with her so why don’t you move on and I’m like ‘wow, that hasn’t even crossed my mind before’…and to have things like that from people whom I respect, and others, wow it wasn’t easy,” viasat1.com.gh quotes him to have said on ‘Tonight’ aired on Viasat TV.

According to Adjetey Anang, although there was pressure from some quarters, his parents and that of his wife were patient with them.
Adjetey Anang however pointed out on the Tonight Show
that his family and that of his wife were critical in ensuring that
they overcame their challenges during the initial seven years of
marriage.
“What made it very easy was the fact
that the two families, my parents and my family and hers were
understanding and didn’t really bother about that and we thought
that…look, it was a time to bond, so I say that there is a reason for
everything,” he said.
