Ghanaian well-known marriage counselor, Kwaku Adumatta has urged the youths not to go for a loan to pay for their wedding.
According to him, marriage is already a lot of work, so having to pay off a debt will only make things worse for the couple.
Speaking in an interview on Happy Fm 98.9, he said ‘‘it is not the best way to start your lives. When will you repay the debts to go on with your lives and develop yourselves? What happened if children come in? The bills will keep increasing so it doesn’t make sense to start a life with debts. The marriage won’t last if it is built with debts.’’
He said, it, unfortunately, a lot of youths are making that mistake. It seems so now and they keep raising the expectation of others when it shouldn’t be the case,’’ he said
He added that as married people need to work with what they have because marriage is hard work that requires a lot.
‘‘It’s not the wedding that matters. The real marriage comes after the wedding that matters. A real marriage comes after the wedding and people need to know this and prepare for it. If you start your lives with debts, it brings a lot of discomfort and unhappiness into the marriage and people need to refrain from it,’’ he advised.
