In his words:
"For almost a week, we slept on bare floor, well, we had to support ourselves with carton. People thought I was making the worst decision of my life. Many were genuinely worried for me. Some thought I got her pregnant and didn't want the world to know."
Challenges were many
The couple faced many challenges but Emmanuel and his wife were determined to embark on their love journey.
Story has changed
Emmanuel and his wife of three years now occupy a tastefully built rented four-bedroom duplex in a serene estate.
In his words:
"Since I married her, I've never submitted CV to any organisation. From the comfort of my small room, I built a multi million naira business that is impacting lives all over the world."
Speaking with YEN.com.gh, Emmanuel said he took writing as a profession in 2016 and this has changed his life.
In his words:
"I've written for some business blogs and I teach people writing. That was how I started earning through writing before I ventured into ghostwriting."
Speaking on how his wife has been supporting him, Emmanuel said the young lady does the editing and has been helpful.
In his words:
"My wife was supportive because she told me when we met that she was interested in editing. So I helped her to hone her skills. And since I am a writer and she is an editor, she was a huge help."

Man hails wife who stuck around for 8 years when he had nothing
YEN.com.gh previously reported that a newlywed man posted a thank-you message to his bride on social media. Thulane Mlandu Mtsweni took to the Facebook group #ImStaying to share a beautiful story about his amazing bride, who didn't care about his money.
Thulane said it took him about eight years to gain footing and financial stability and his wife waited for him without a complaint in the world. He talked about times being so tough for him that he couldn't even afford to buy her chocolate sometimes.
He said:
"I grew up hearing people women are after money and material things. But the truth is that, there are women out there who love men no matter what they have or don't have."
