During the interview, Rita was asked "How's marriage so far?" to which she replied:

RITA DOMINIC: It's nice. It's interesting. I'm blushing. It's nice. It's been two years in April for the traditional marriage. We were friends for a long time, then we found love, then we dated, and we got married.

"Why did you wait so long?"

RITA DOMINIC: Why did I wait so long? I wanted to do it and be sure that I was doing it for the right reasons and not for the reasons y'know that stem from societal pressure.

"Okay, was society giving pressure about the timing of it?"

RITA DOMINIC: Of course! Even before I got married, the pressure was there for years. But uhm, I just turned a deaf ear.

"Cuz this was way after 45 and I'm sure people were like Rita what's going on?"

RITA DOMINIC: Yeah, they were doing that but at the end of the day, I will marry the man of my dreams and not the man society dreams for me because if anything goes wrong tomorrow, I will be the one left to pack up the pieces, and not the society. So I will do it when I want to do it at the right time, and I believe I did it at the right time with the right person.

"Why did you think it took that long? Was it because there were not too many good men or right people around you?"

RITA DOMINIC: I met quite a number of people but maybe we just didn't happen, or we just didn't work out and I don't believe in forcing things. If it's not working, if you guys are not compatible, there's no point in forcing things. And then you go into it, and then tomorrow you're out of it. For what reason?

"Was the fact that you're such a huge public figure also make it more difficult to get married?"

RITA DOMINIC: I don't think so. I think that's even when you have a lot of people wanting to marry you.

"If you had to give anybody marriage advice after 2 years, what would you tell them?"

RITA DOMINIC: Marry your friend and make sure your goals and dreams are aligned.
