Jill Scott is known for her deep love ballads and her unique look into relationships. But her latest part in With This Ring, a romantic comedy on Lifetime, has made her think about her own love life and how she deals with relationships.
The movie, which is about how stressful it is to get married within a year, has made Scott, who has been married once, engaged once more, and is now single, think about what she really wants in a relationship. Like her character in the movie, she feels like she has to live up to what people expect of her.
Jill Scott has taken a different method to her search for real love. She thinks that after dating for about six months, she can generally tell if a relationship could work. “My longest relationships now last about nine months,” she said. It’s now been six months, in fact. “I don’t need to waste time or anyone else’s. I knew” by then. You have done something if you make it through the first six months. I must like you a lot.”
Scott says that to have a healthy relationship, you need to love and accept yourself as well as have a strong bond with the person you’re dating. If you want your marriage to last, she tells you straight out, “You have to be who you are and truly love who you love.” There are different ways to stay married than to get married.
Basically, Jill Scott’s unique view on dating shows how important it is to be honest, love yourself, and be clear when dealing with the complicated parts of personal relationships.
