A Ghanaian woman living in the United Kingdom has shared her opinions about marriage and the preparation needed before getting married.

Maame Betty said many people, especially ladies, got married for the wrong reason, and that ultimately affected their union in the years ahead.

In an interview with DJ Nyaami on SVTV Africa, Maame Betty said most women do not prepare in all spheres of life, especially the financial aspect, before getting married and that goes a long way to harm them in the future.

According to her, many women see marriage as a means of liberation, but that is not the case. Many also believe their husbands will care for them and as a result, they fail to become financially stable before getting married.

“Marriage is not the only option for a financially poor woman. Most people believe marriage will liberate them, but that is not the case. You will be disappointed and ask for a divorce at the tiniest mistake.”

Maame Betty encouraged women to ensure their financial stability and personal fulfilment before they get married.

“Don’t marry because you need a man to take care of you. A man wants help mate, so build yourself up as a woman.”
