Renowned gospel singer Selina Boateng has shared candid reflections on marriage, stating that she would make different choices if given a second chance.

In an interview on Onua FM on Tuesday, June 10, 2025, the celebrated musician explained how marriage has fundamentally altered her understanding of the institution.

"Marriage has opened my eyes in so many ways," Boateng said. "If I had the chance to go back and make changes or amend certain decisions, I honestly would—because until you're inside the walls of marriage, you'll never truly understand what it is."

The gospel artiste emphasised that many people enter marriage with misconceptions that quickly dissolve when faced with the daily realities of partnership."

"You may think something is red until you get in and realise it's green. You think it's white, but it's actually yellow," she explained.

The Alpha and Omega hitmaker offered heartfelt advice to singles, urging them to seek divine guidance before making matrimonial commitments.

"My prayer for anyone looking forward to marriage is this: May God go ahead of you and grant you a high level of wisdom, Solomon's kind of wisdom, to choose the right partner. Because if you end up with the wrong person, it will be nothing short of hell. And I say this from experience," she stated passionately.

Selina Boateng warns about societal pressures

When asked what she would do differently, Selina Boateng indicated she would have ignored societal pressure about marriage timing.

"I would not have listened to others as much...People will pressure you by saying: 'You're ageing,' 'You're late,' 'Just marry or just have kids.' Don't listen to that. You alone know the fire you're walking into, and only you will endure it," she concluded.

Selina Boateng is not alone

While Selina Boateng's admissions about her marriage may come as a surprise to many, considering her stature as a leading gospel artiste, Isaac Adofoli, a marriage counsellor, has described it as normal.

According to him, it is human nature to second-guess their decisions, especially when things are not going as they expected. He added that being a Christian does not exempt one from such feelings.

"Selina Boateng is only human. The fact that she is in ministry does not mean she is a superhuman who is immune to such feelings. There is always more room for improvement in everything we do, and I think that is what she meant."
