Ghanaian Disc Jockey Kwaku Slim has offered his take on Pastor Mensah Otabil‘s recent advice urging men to marry early, regardless of their financial situation.
Pastor Otabil, the founder of the International Central Gospel Church (ICGC), argued that men shouldn’t delay marriage for the sake of financial stability, sharing his personal experience of starting his marriage with minimal resources.
While DJ Slim acknowledges the wisdom in Pastor Otabil’s advice, he contends that money plays an essential role in today’s marriages.
He pointed out that modern wedding ceremonies often require substantial financial investment to meet contemporary expectations.
Slim highlighted that, unlike in the past, where simple living was more common, today’s marriages demand stronger financial support due to the high costs associated with modern life.
In a video shared on his X page on August 22, 2024, DJ Slim emphasized that although Pastor Otabil’s advice is well-intentioned, the realities of today’s world make financial preparedness crucial for the success of a marriage.
He noted that marriage, as an institution, often depends on the financial stability of the man, making it difficult to overlook the importance of money in maintaining a sustainable relationship.
Pastor Otabil’s comments have sparked mixed reactions, with some agreeing with his view on prioritizing marriage over financial stability, while others argue that the challenges of modern life make his advice less practical.
