Actor Stan Nze has shared his thoughts on love, forgiveness and infidelity, saying he believes cheating can be forgiven under certain circumstances.
He remarked during an interview where he was asked whether love alone is enough to sustain a relationship or marriage.
In response, Stan said the answer is not straightforward.
He explained that the kind of love that sustains a relationship is not based on feelings or attraction, but on commitment, sacrifice and selflessness. According to him, real love is built on kindness, patience and the ability to forgive.
He said many relationships fail because people find it difficult to forgive when mistakes happen. For him, forgiveness is an important part of what keeps couples together.
Speaking further, Stan addressed infidelity when asked if cheating can be forgiven. He said he believes it can be forgiven, but stressed that forgiveness should not be seen as approval for repeated wrongdoing.
He said: “Real love is enough, am not talking about ‘butterflies in your tummy’… not that. The love that Christ preached, the one that is agape, the love in Galatians 5:23, it’s not built on flesh, it’s genuine. The one that’s selfless, the one that’s kind, forgives easily because the things that happen in marriage or relationship that don’t make it work, the fact that you cannot forgive. Love is enough if it’s the right love.
“Absolutely, I can forgive cheating, but we shall not continue in sinning that grace might be abound. So you would not be stupid but if someone offends you or does something that’s not right, that’s what it is. It is not a licence to be stupid.”
Stan Nze is married to actress Blessing Obasi. The couple got married in 2021 and welcomed their first child in 2023.
