HOW TO GET MARRIED ON A 20K SALARY!
If age is no longer on your side, you have found the
woman you want to marry but your salary is the barrier
between you and your marital promised land, you earn
20k or a little more per month, your sexual urge is
getting uncontrollable, you are over 30 and your fiancee
wouldn't mind settling down with you, here is the
practical way to survive on a 20k salary!
1. Pay your tithe 10%
2. Save 10%
3. Get a room apartment where you will not be paying
more than 2k per month.
4. With neighbours, your NEPA bill should not be more
than #500:00.
5. Feeding for both you and wife not more than 10k.
Always buy your foodstuff in bulk every month, you
will save lots of money.
6. Keep 10% for emergencies, that is 2k.
7. The remaining #1,500 will be shared between you
and your wife as pocket money. You 1k, wife, #500.
Now listen: you can only do this on the conditions
given below:
1. Your wife will get a job to assist you financially so
that both of you will put money together to start a
business, look for a higher paying job or run your vision
that will yield profits, enlarge you and move to a higher
level of comfort and wealth. Discuss this thoroughly in
courtship and ensures she agrees. That is what
courtship is about: to discuss your future and see if
you can walk together (Amos 3:3).
2. No baby for the first 2 years while you both work
harder and get something better or extra doing to cater
for the baby. Discuss this thoroughly. Visit a family
planning clinic and get an advise on which family
planning method will work for you. Withdrawal
sometimes fail and calculating the ovulation period is
not completely reliable but if she is very diligent, can
consistently monitor her ovulation, you may take the
risk but combining with CD is better (I'm talking to
mature adults here).
3. There will be pressure from your family especially
your mother for her to get pregnant. Stand up for her,
shield her, be a man and let your mum know that for
personal reasons, it's your decision for her to delay
pregnancy. Marriage is for mature men and women, not
for boys and girls. You should be responsible and have
the final say in your marriage. Your decisions are
between you and your wife, whatever anyone else says
is secondary! Protect her from your family, stand up for
her!
4. Pray diligently and consistently for God to enlarge
you.
5. Map out practical plans for you to achieve your
dreams.
6. Have the faith that can move mountains! The Bishop
Oyedepo and Fela Durotoye's type of faith: These men
had almost nothing when they started but their wives
were working and assisted them till they broke through.
You can make it before you get married. You don't
have to get married on a salary of 20k. The Lord can
surprise you with a better job, profitable business or
great contracts before you marry, if not yet then don't
wait till you are in your 50s before you settle down.
"Two are better than one..." is what the Holy Book
says. With your wife's full support and strong faith in
you, you will break through the ceiling of limitation and
emerge into your glorious destiny. FEEL FREE TO
SHARE. God bless you, cheers!
