Money is a major cause of problems for African marriages, so intending couples should discuss about how family expenses will be paid. There is no perfect remedy, all I can is that couples need to be open, transparent and fair to both parties. Your priority should first of all be your immediate (nuclear) family, and outsiders should be a distant second especially when you start having children.

Having said that, the man should even be more prudent in spending money. Women have needs that men will never have, so it is important for a man to understand these needs and ensure that his wife looks and feels good with herself - depending on what he can afford. I also encourage couples to invest early and wisely, property and shares are a good place to start.

Dear parasite, you made no sense.

Men shouldn't be responsible for your needs as long as you have a job

I just hope Nigerian ladies will listen to this, but many will not because of this african mentality that have got deep in them that a man is responsible for all the bills at home, so pathetic.
Not all of them those with Good home training know that a woman ought to be financially independent at least even if she is yet to be she should have sellable skills that can earn money While many of them are only good in browsing and making phone calls

INSTEAD OF RUSHING TO GO AND TAKE PRE-WEDDING PHOTOS.

Couples should spend their time reading motivational books and get themselves educated on how to manage their marriage.

Pre-Wedding photos will not save a marriage problem it is just for the fun of the moment then later you are faced with the true challenges of marriage.

@Opinionated

Thanks for the share!
1,3 AND 4 has been an understanding i have inculcated on how to manage finances effectively so as to retire with something to fall back on at old age.N0 2, is a question i dont know how to get an answer.If i have saved up and acquired a piece of land registering my sister as my next of kin before i get married,do i tell my husband in future? And if i must,do i change the next of kin to my children or to him? Finances is the N0 2 thing that should be discussed and agreed upon by new couples.It is one of the foundations that should be taken seriously.

Women spend so much money on makeup despite that we men are not interested in their art-crafted faces looking like the rainbow.
I don't know who told them that makeup makes them look beautiful, because it always looks disgusting to me and my male friends.

My observation has been...the more interested a woman is in makeups, the emptier her brain.

There is more to it.

Just like acoholics and gamblers, a shopaholic is equally bad in a relationship. Lack of contentment will definitely lead to many vices that will crash a marriage.

But why always money?
Re: 4 Money Problems In Nigerian Marriages To Avoid by djon78(m): 7:48pm On Nov 02, 2018
Money matters is very important in marriage.
I believe that before a man gets married he should have serious financial plans and money management.
Intact a man should be on top of his financial game to enjoy marriage.
He should have streams of income
Income is not just only job. But business and investments by the side.

Then running the home there will always be a budget and financial planning.
Then the woman must play her part. If she is working, her money should be rightfully channeled for the common good of the home.


If a man is on top of his financial game. The woman will have no option than to fall in line. But most times, men easily falter in this area and then women take them for a ride.
And many men are not trained financially. And honestly if you are not a good financial manager, you cannot be rich, and you can not teach your kids on how to manage money.
If you can manage money, you can easily pass it down to your children and you will create a linage of wealthy seeds. This is one of Africa's major problem. Many are suffering as a result of the way there parents raised them in attitude to money.

The Jews are very good in this. They early train there children on managing money, thereby leaving a wealthy legacy for there generation.
I remember reading an article about Facebook founder zuckerberg, many years ago that he was raised with a lot of Jewish families, that most of them were already dollar millionaire when they were in there late teens, 19years.
The same thing with Trump's son in law Jared, he was already handling multi million dollar deals as far back as his early twenties.

Bottom line, develop your financial managing skill as a man, and you will create a linage of wealthy legacy for your kids and there kids.
