“I’ll Marry in God’s Appointed Time” — Martha Ankomah on Single Life, Prayer and Patience

Ghanaian screen star Martha Ankomah has once again addressed her relationship status, telling fans she is single, not dating and trusting God’s timing for marriage — a stance she has repeated across several interviews over the past few years. In an interview first reported in 2020 she said she believed she would marry when it was “God’s time,” a message she has reiterated since. 

The actress, well known for her film and television roles, has been open about her longing for family life while stressing faith and patience. In a televised interview late in 2024 Ankomah admitted she often thinks about having children and even joked about wishing she had “three kids” to take to Sunday school — but added that she is placing the matter in prayer and waiting on God’s answer. 

Ankomah’s position is consistent: she has publicly stated she is not actively dating and refuses to rush into a relationship she believes is not ordained for her. Speaking previously on Kingdom Plus FM and in other media appearances, she told interviewers she cannot — and will not — force a relationship and that she frequently prays about marriage, reminding God of her desire while trusting His timing. 

Fans and commentators often react strongly when celebrities discuss private life choices. For Ankomah, the conversation has been more about faith and calm resolve than headlines: she frames singlehood as a season, not a failure. “Delay doesn’t mean denial,” she has said, a refrain that underscores her broader message of patience and hope. 

While marriage and family remain personal priorities, Ankomah’s public life continues full tilt. Beyond matters of the heart, she has used her platform to highlight industry issues — most recently speaking out about colourism and pressures faced by darker-skinned actors — demonstrating that her public voice stretches across social as well as personal terrain.

What this means for fans is simple: Ankomah remains a figure many admire not only for her craft but for her candid, faith-forward approach to life’s milestones. Whether marriage comes soon or later, she has made clear her belief that when it does arrive it will be because it is right for her — and because it comes in God’s appointed time.
