A Ghanaian man abroad, Alexander Nsia has ignited a conversation about financial responsibility in marriage, urging men to let their wives manage their salaries and other incomes.

Speaking to the SVTV Africa channel on YouTube, Alexander said he used to be a spendthrift, however, after entrusting his salary to the care of his wife, that problem was cured.
He said trust and transparency are important ingredients in building a healthy marital home, with mutual support and care for everyone's wellbeing.
"My biggest problem is managing my money, I don't know how to save, I give a lot and so I struggle to keep money. After realising my wife is good at managing money, I decided to make her my secretary, my treasure, and it has helped me a lot. I don't hide anything from her, because she is my wife," he said.
Consequently, Alexander Nsia has advised men to demonstrate their love and trust to their wives by allowing them to handle their earnings for the smooth running of the household.
Alexander's opinion attracts mixed response
While some netizens, particularly women, praised Alexander Nsia's opinion as refreshing, others, men, raised concerns about the potential implications of such advice.
Below are some of the comments on the video:

@Alexander Nsiah also commented:
"DJ thank you so much.. I told you, your guys will not learn but we are still moving on."
Reacting to this, relationship and marriage expert, Daniel Fenyi told YEN.com.gh that effective wealth management has nothing to do with gender, adding that both men and women are capable of managing household finances.
"Financial management skills are not inherently tied to gender. While some women may excel at managing household finances, so do many men. Decisions about who should manage the money should be based on individual strengths and preferences rather than gender stereotypes," he said
"In some relationships, the husband may be more financially astute, while in others, the wife may be better suited to handle the finances. The key is to find an arrangement that works best for the couple, based on their unique circumstances and skills," he further explained.
Wife spends millions on husband
Earlier YEN.com.gh reported a video of a wife who splashed millions on various gifts for her husband has gone viral on TikTok.
The woman was thrilled to have spent a fortune to surprise her man with items ranging from shoes, shirts, and other luxury goods.
Many praised her for being generous to her husband, who belongs to a gender that seldom receives gifts from the opposite gender.
