“Choose Love Over Wealth”: Married Ghanaian Man Advises Single People

• A young Ghanaian man advised single people to choose their partners based on love instead of riches and looks
• The married man who said he had not been well for close to four years used his life situation after marriage to advise upcoming couples
• Social media users who saw the video thronged the comment section to share their varied thoughts on the matter he raised

A Ghanaian man who is married has encouraged single people hoping to settle down to choose people they love over other qualities like wealth and beauty.

The young man used his story to buttress his point and said that if he had chosen a woman other than his wife, he might not be where he is.

In a video on X, the man said he has been sick for about four years and needs assistance to do everything, including bathing.

However, his wife has been supportive and has never made him feel unwanted because love rules their relationship.

According to the man, it is his wife who keeps the home financially stable and in every other aspect since he is unwell. He added that despite the huge role she plays in the home, his wife never complains.

He continued to say that he believes his wife is still present and supportive because of the love she has for him.

"I have been unwell for almost four years. But God gave me my soulmate, who takes care of me. So I want to tell everyone that marriage isn't all about beauty and money but rather love and a good heart. If you meet someone and you both love each other, I'd encourage you not to focus on beauty or money but marry for love."

"If I had followed money or wealth, maybe by now my partner would have left me. But because I chose out of love, my partner is still here taking care of me," he added.
