oh yes it really did! I have so many evident testimonies of this

opera1:
..

Yes, two are better than one. We got married while still in sku..
Took a loan of 500k, start biz and double the money.
We had our wedding..... A baby girl.... Build our own house [though we ve stopped working on the building coz we are still in sku] but we are done with school things just waiting for our induction into MLS .. Above all, we ve been able to gather #30m from our joint efforts.
Indeed our coming together was a great blessing.

Wow this is great! Kudos to you and yours.
What business did you both engage in?

Yes it did bring lots of blessings into my life, got married in 2023 with no car, today I own a car and lots of property. She is more than a blessing to me. I’m blessed with 2 cute boys already, told her we need to rest on kids for now. We are building our own factory somewhere in Anambra state at the moment. So yes marriage brought blessings and happiness t[color=#000099][/color]o me. All praise be to God.

Only two(2) children you want to have?

Well, I was doing pretty fine before marriage but ever since I got married. It has been constant struggle. I feel like the marriage tied me down in all aspects of my life. The only thing that even makes me happy in the marriage is just seeing my two children.

She had the business before you met her, or after marriage you then opened a business for her?

My opinion will be unpopular, but it's my experience, so I stand by it. However, don't use my experience as a yardstick for yours.

I'm a salary earner.

I married a businesswoman.

I stayed in a single room till marriage, then moved into a 3-bedroom flat, provided by my then employer, so no rent paid for almost the first year of marriage.

Well.......we moved into our own rented flat six months into marriage. Got around va korope and okada for the first 3 years, then bought our first car.

Almost 18 years in at this point. We've built our home, have a nice car (by modest standards), and are moving on in life.

When a man and his wife decide to work together, great things happen.

Cooperation and sacrifice will.move you forward. If you need to get better training to move up in your career, or invest in a business, it's by mutual agreement and sacrifice.

It's also important to note that family interference is bad for marrri age on so many levels. I imagine that if I had to pay my wife's family's bills, we won't be close to where we are today, but her family are all business people, doing well, while my family is made up of educated professionals, doing well in our fields.

This greatly helps.

Anyway, I know my case is very different from the average. So many people marry and start paying school fees, hospital bills, rent......they get strangled by the load that came with the marriage.

The two things that I know for sure that can bring prosperity into marriage is working to prosper and praying over everything.
Bible says God will bless the work of our hands.

If you have no job in your hands and God want to bless you, while your hand is empty, God will not bless emptyness.

Time is the best gift God has given to us, use it wisely. Prosperity is built in time used with productive mind.

If you are working for someone and God blesses the work of your hand, most of the profits will go to your boss but you will get only salary.

Learn any profitablle work/trade, establish,develop,pray, no shortcut, be truthful and only go for what you can afford.

Do not marry without income that can sustain three people, do not test deep water with two legs. That is, you must have savings, you must be investing in yourself to develop in all areas that can better your income.

Marriage is not for the weak. It goes beyond having a family of your own. It is a generational life contract.

franchasng:
It is well. Pray harder, prayer works and with wisdom and God's mercy, you could meet a lady that will turn to a blessing for you and transform your life. It happens, it has happened to many Nigerian men, forget online bashing of women, some ladies are a blessing to their husbands, pray to find one and don't give up

Amen. Thank you. I have a one or two friends wey get better women wey move oversea. I basically not in a search but observing. I am just trying to do my thing to make out of this grind of financial lack. For now, any other thing no dey worry me.

ebubeson:
If marriage brought blessings to you please tell us?

Are you seeing prosperity since you got married?

I could remember vividly how my guardian tried to discourage me when I was about to get married about 12 years ago, because to him i supposto have a house etc before marriage.

Fast forward to today I have kids and multiple blessings which I have never dream of.

NB: marriage requires determination, perseverance and above all a good wife!

He who finds a wife findeth good thing and obtain Favour from the Lord.

Before we met

For some people things changed for better while it is opposite for some folks. As for me, I just realized that jobs that I have been applying for without success just began to come my way on their own after having first child. It was amazing and incredible. Although I have more money than when I was single but responsibility has also increased but it got better to the glory of God

.

Maybe one more but I am quite comfy with two though

Will you still bear children or are you done?

That means you married an aged woman. For her to own a business, she will be an advanced lady.

I thought men suppose to go for younger girls!

I appreciate.

You've never met young ladies who have small businesses?

Where do you live?

Papua New Guinea?

I was just talking about the general view.

Our young girls(majority don't have well known business). Either they are still with their parents doing casual jobs, or still learning a trade, or perhaps still in school(university).

Anyway, i appreciate.

I have two sons presently. If things become more settled. I crave for a female child. If the third one comes and it isn't female. I am done with child bearing

Good luck to you dear.

To me, it is a blessing over time.
At the initial stage, we were able to get by living paycheck to paycheck. At some point, had to take loans. Today, it is much better with children, a reasonable amount in savings, a reasonable income, and almost owning a house in Lagos in a reasonable environment.
