Nollywood actress Yewande Adekoya has advised couples planning to marry to undergo personality assessments and mental health evaluations before tying the knot. The recommendation, she says, came to her as a message from God.

In a video shared on Instagram, Adekoya stressed that understanding a partner’s mental and emotional state is crucial for a successful marriage. She highlighted the importance of checking for conditions such as bipolar disorder, ADHD, schizophrenia, depression, psychosis, and narcissism.

“This message is for you if you’re about to get married. You’ve prayed, fasted, and done everything to ensure a good marriage. But something inside tells you, ‘Are you sure you’ve done everything?’” she said.

Adekoya explained that couples who insist on mental health evaluations can better understand the personality and stability of their prospective partners. She also cautioned that a refusal to undergo such tests may be a red flag.

“If you meet your partner and ask them to carry out these tests and they refuse, please run. The person knows something you don’t. God has told me to stress that it’s important we embrace science when preparing for marriage,” she said.

By combining spiritual guidance with scientific insight, Adekoya encourages couples to take proactive steps to ensure healthy and stable relationships.
