Controversial Ghanaian lawyer Maurice Ampaw recently marked his sixteenth wedding anniversary and disclosed the challenging circumstances under which he got married.
The popular lawyer got married to his childhood friend Evelyn after they dated for 15 years. His wife was the financial backbone of their family for two years after their marriage.
“When I tied the knot to my wife, I was not a lawyer and had to save money for school. I did not leave housekeeping money.â€
Ampaw and his wife had to wait for ten years before they were gifted with children.
Ampaw said he and his wife, then his fiancée, were deeply in love at the time and even after 16 years of marriage, it feels like they only met yesterday and hinted that no other woman may do that to him.
â€When I was dating my wife, we did not have sex for over 15 to 18 years,†Ampaw, who was the youth president at the time told theBBCghana.com
He revealed that his wife, Evelyn, earned a modest income as a dressmaker and fashion designer and it was from her small earning that she provided for them.
