Ghanaian Man In UK Urges Men Abroad To Be Humble To Stay Married: “He Is Smart”

• A Ghanaian man in the UK advised men abroad to be humble and share house chores for lasting marriages
• He explained that UK laws, for instance, empowered women, with marriage being more of a partnership
• Several netizens who watched his video gave their thoughts on the advice shared by the loving hubby

A Ghanaian man living in the United Kingdom with his wife has shared how his fellow men abroad can ensure their marriage lasts.

Kofi Nyarko said that unlike marriages back in Africa and Ghana, where the men do not appear humble and some treat their wives with disdain, husbands abroad must shun their egos for a lasting and happy marriage.

In an interview with DJ Nyaami on SVTV Africa, the gospel musician said marriages abroad and in Africa are different.

He explained that in the UK, for instance, women seem more powerful because the laws protected and empowered them.

“For your marriage to survive in the UK, the man must be humble. Support your wife with the house chores. Both man and wife work in the UK, and you can’t expect your wife to always do the house chores.”

The man added that he supported his wife in the household, saying there was no chore that was for women only.

“As a husband, I pay bills but still help my wife. It is a partnership here and not a master and servant affair,” he added.

According to Kofi Nyarko, some African men abroad experience these challenges, which lead to divorce. He has been married for nine years.
