In a thoughtful conversation on Prime Morning hosted by Asieduwaa Akomoah, Rev. Dr. Nanayaa Prempeh and Apostle Emmanuel Inkoom examined the intricate balance of financial duties within marriage.
Rev. Dr. Prempeh expressed her views on why she thinks financial expectations should not be hurried and why a man should only take on responsibilities after the marriage has occurred.
Rev. Dr. Prempeh expressed that she opposes the idea of women promptly requesting financial support from their partners when a relationship is still new.
“The man does not need to come into your life immediately to be taken responsibility for. It is only after you are married that you become his responsibility and he becomes your responsibility,” she emphasized.
She emphasized the significance of financial independence for women, which she considers essential for equality in relationships.
“Women need economic empowerment,”
Dr. Prempeh remarked that even though financial assistance might occasionally be necessary, it must not serve as a means to manipulate or dominate the relationship. Rather, when a necessity occurs, each partner should provide support voluntarily and with sincere concern for each other.
Conversely, Rev. Dr. Prempeh also addressed instances where women have provided financial support to the men they care about, even to the extent of paying for their education.
She observed that society frequently sees this as silly, but she took a different stance.
“Ain’t nothing wrong with that, it is love, and love is a two-way street,” she explained.
