"As it is, I am doing my postgraduate diploma in business management and my husband is supporting me. I decided to go back to school so I can acquire knowledge and understand the corporate world. It's a one-year course and I will complete it in May next year.
"I don't have a specific recipe for a successful marriage and I don't believe in formulas for a successful marriage.
"I can only speak for myself and say respect, communication, prayer, faith and love have kept my marriage intact.
"We've had challenges, but we decided to be bigger than our problems."
Yvonne said that being in showbiz did not make the journey easier, but she learnt to separate her work from family life. "When I am on stage I become an artist and I respect that space.
