Love may make the world go round, but according to Ghanaian musician Akwaboah, it should not be the only thing paying the bills.
The singer has advised young people, especially men, not to rush into marriage before establishing themselves financially. In his view, romance is far more enjoyable when it is not constantly interrupted by unpaid bills, rent reminders, and emergency mobile money requests.
Drawing from his own experience as a married man, Akwaboah stressed that having a stable source of income before saying “I do” can help couples build a happier and less stressful home. Marriage, he explained, is not a magic solution to life’s problems. Instead, it introduces new responsibilities that require planning, discipline, and financial stability.
His message was not about becoming wealthy before finding love. Rather, it was a reminder that emotional maturity and financial responsibility should go hand in hand. Love may ignite the spark, but commitment, consistency, and a reliable income help keep a marriage running smoothly.
The award-winning musician has consistently encouraged people to approach marriage thoughtfully. He believes couples should take time to know each other, build genuine friendship, and lay a solid foundation before making a lifelong commitment. His latest advice simply adds another important ingredient to that foundation, which is financial preparedness.
Whether everyone agrees with him or not, Akwaboah’s message is one that deserves attention. A wedding may last for a day, but marriage is a lifelong commitment. Like any worthwhile investment, it rewards those who take the time to prepare.
