They have five biological children and other adopted ones. When asked what has kept their marriage for this long, Mavis said her husband pays all the bills at home.

"I do not pay bills. He does not allow me to pay bills. We do not have any major arguments. The argument we have currently is about me wanting to pay some of the bills and he never agreeing to it. When I buy items for the children, he would ask for the price and pay me back."

Mavis said because of the way her husband treats her, she also showers him with love and supports him in every way possible.

"There are times I ask to bathe him. I wash his feet, cook for him, and give him massages. They may seem like little acts, but they spice up the marriage

Lady breaks up with boyfriend before travelling UK

Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that a UK-based Ghanaian woman said she broke up with her boyfriend in Ghana before travelling.

Eugenia Maud Martin said she informed her boyfriend after she got to the United Kingdom and started dating her childhood sweetheart.

She later married her childhood lover and helped him relocate to the UK. Unfortunately, her husband passed away some years ago.

Man happy his wife joined him abroad

Meanwhile, a Ghanaian man in the US said, unlike other men, he has not regretted allowing his wife to join him abroad.

Koo Ofori said his wife has been helpful since she joined him in the US.

"My wife Gloria Ofori, Nana Ama from Dome, has greatly helped me. I've heard people bring their partners abroad, and then they start having issues, but as for me, my wife has helped me."

Marriages in Ghana are better than those abroad

A Ghanaian in the UK also said marriages in Ghana are far better than those abroad, and he gave his reasons.

Albert Osei Tutu said most couples abroad divorce at the slightest provocation, compared to Ghana, where they'll at least try to solve their issues.

He gave an example where partners abroad do not see themselves often because of their work schedule, but in Ghana, couples are sure to see each other most nights.
