He warned them to make sure they are financially and mentally fit before getting married.
He shared a video on his Instagram page and said.....
“The best advice I can give you as a lady before you embark on the journey of marriage is to be a complete woman before you marry. Establish yourself as a woman before you marry. Make sure you are mentally, physically, spiritually and financially stable before you marry. Emphasis on being financially and spiritually stable.
It is not marriage that completes you as a woman. Your work, identity or sense of completeness as a woman does not depend on being married. You don’t need marriage to feel whole, valuable or fulfilled. Marriage should complement you, not complete you. Marriage should be a beautiful addition, not a missing piece,” he said.
“Before you marry, build yourself up. Even if you are not financially stable, at least make sure you have something to do. At least make sure you have a handwork. At least make sure you have a business idea or a proper insight into what being independent is all about.
“God forbid if you marry into a family where your in-laws don’t like you and you have nothing to bring to the table, then sorry will be your name. God forbid if your husband divorces you over a small misunderstanding and you are not stable in any way.
“My dear, you will have to start life all over again because you leave with nothing. God forbid your husband dies and you have nothing of your own. If your in-laws happen to be a wicked set of people, they will strip you of everything your husband left for you."
Thanks sir.

ReplyDeleteI know many woman who have money and are married to free loaders that are tormenting them. Just pray you don't meet an evil man . Money or lack if it will not help you
ReplyDeleteBut those women have the power to walk away, the have that power. A woman who has nothing and needs that man for their survival may not be able to easily walk away, having no power is where things get messy.
