Jada Pinkett-Smith Shares Her Views on Conventional Marriage & the Word 'Wife'
Without a doubt, Jada's admirers are well accustomed to the details of her life.
This is because the actress is fond of revealing the hassles and beautiful moments of her career, marriage, and motherhood with fans over the years. Interestingly, she has done so once again.
In a recent
with The Guardian, Jada disclosed her inability to fit-in into the 'Wife role' with her partner, Will Smith and how she has managed to navigate through it.
"I knew that I was not built for conventional marriage,"
She went ahead to
the word "wife" as a "golden cage" and added:
"Swallow the Key."
Jada also mentioned that she had reservations against the conventional marriage institution before getting married, and it still affected her when she eventually did. Hence, her reason to share ordeals with the public. In her words:
"Even before I was married, I was like, 'That'll kill me.' And it damn near did! So why wouldn't you share what you've been through -"
Jada also pointed it out that although she didn't agree with the conventional marriage institution, she doesn't want people thinking that she didn't want husband, Will Smith in her life.
"Will is my life partner, and I could not ask for a better one. I adore him, I never want people to think it was Will I didn't want to marry,"
she said and noted the role of influential women who were" caged and tied" by their relationships.
