In a TikTok video, Rev Charlotte Oduro said men must ensure that they can afford necessities and have the needed things like a roof over their heads before they marry.
She was speaking at a marriage seminar held at an Assemblies of God church, in Ghana, The Glory Assembly.
During the session, Rev Charlotte Oduro said there are times people will pressure a single to get married but she cautioned them to make sure they are financially stable before they take the step.
“If you don’t have money as a man, don’t marry. You must have some money and things like a place to lay your head, a television to watch, you have some money to take care of children if you have them. Don’t let anyone pressure you to marry even if you don’t have money.”
“Every man is the head of his home. You must be established before you bring a man into your life,” she added.
