Marriage doesn’t increase your salary, it increases your responsibility. 35k/month means this is not the season for comfort, it’s the season for discipline and building.
First, he needs to live strictly on needs, not wants. Keep life simple, cut unnecessary expenses, and track every naira. No room for careless spending at that level.
Second, he must be completely honest with his wife. They’re a team now,no pretending, no ego. Let her understand the reality so both of them can move with the same mindset.
Third, he should avoid debt as much as possible. Debt at that stage will only multiply pressure and limit his options.
Fourth, he needs to aggressively look for ways to increase income. Side hustles, learning a skill, online opportunities. 35k should never become his comfort zone. That income must grow.
And very important. kids should wait. Not because they’re not a blessing, but because timing matters. Right now, adding a child will stretch him beyond his limit and create unnecessary stress. Let them build stability first, then bring children into something solid.
Bottom line: this phase is about survival, discipline, and growth. If they stay aligned, patient, and intentional, they can build something strong from it.
@SkyNews US strategy always works becos the war always happens in your region. Whether you win, draw or lose, the debris is yours. Notice how they always emphasize "HOMELAND" or "US SOIL" when it happens at theirs.
It's been exactly three weeks since the war on Iran began, and it's easier to tell what's going on militarily than it is politically.
Sky's Michael Clarke gives his analysis on the latest developments on day 21 of the Iran war.

@official_Gegeh Intentions should be clear before involvement.
When expectations are not aligned, someone ends up feeling used. Honest conversations early prevent confusion later. Clarity protects both sides.
@DanielRegha No such thing as trust. Trust is a blind belief in another human being. Ppl are selfish. Ppl are gaming everythn. Just look at how u ursef behave, that's what most ppl are capable of, or worse.
Always check your partner's phones, without permission, and go thru all chats of both genders. Check bank transaction history too, very important.
Better safe than sorry.
@DanielRegha You likely goin to find somethn that wil shock u. People are not saints and it doesn't mata weda u trust them or not. People are people, many times tricking u. U choose weda to dscova & destroy the rltnshp or stay blind & the outcome.
@Oreofe__Femi@jon_d_doe What does she win in court? Win the children or win the man? Person wey don run away from disrespect and defiant behavior from wife.
That prediction sounds deep, but it misses the point.
Walking away isn’t an escape,it’s evidence.
Abandonment only makes it easier for the other partner to win in court.
The real shift isn’t men disappearing.
It’s people no longer forcing themselves to stay in unhappy marriages.
Less endurance. More exits. Different methods.
@JanefrancesUIUX@KagimuDrImran They don't like to tell you during the interview, unless you ask during the invite phone call. Insist you want to know before you proceed so you all save time. They hate to waste time too. Another method is asking u ur minimum so they can slap 20-30K to it.
@KagimuDrImran He will most likely be taken advantage of.
Regardless, always state your expectations, especially in a setting like that.
Sometimes, it’s also good to ask for their budget.
Today I was on an interview panel. One of the applicants was asked to state his salary expectations and he said:
"I know it's already determined, I just need the job and whatever money you're willing to pay"
He was hired, guess what was done to the salary 🥺
A retired marriage counselor revealed what makes wives lose respect and attraction to the husband they once chased.
He said: "It's usually 8 silent behaviors men repeat daily."
Every man should hear this…..
Instead of gifting Carter Efe that car, E-Money should have given it to people on Twitter who genuinely need a car to do Uber or something tangible. I think I’ll do just that. 20 Corolla giveaways for anyone who truly needs one. Indicate your interest.
@The_Great_JiRI@jon_d_doe You said it well. But as a woman that you are, you are very like to do the same thing given the same circumstances. It's a natural thing. Women are brutal when they are the breadwinner.
If the roles were flipped and a man told his wife she has no right to ask questions because he's the one working, everyone would call it financial abuse. Marriage is not a power game based on who earns what. You don't get to humiliate your spouse because you're the breadwinner. Both men and women need to be better.
@tonychijindu@tessysmitha She will repeat it. If you are trying to address the behavior, it will destroy the relationship. She feels controlled when u tell her what to do or not. Modern women hate to feel that way. And she wants u to be loving to rescue her 100 times. If not, you're a narcissist.
If it's a pain caused by she not yielding your warning and also it isn't the first time she didn't yield to a warning you gave her which backfired on her, allow her feel the pain for once, lecture her and then when you see she can't bear the pain anymore, help her out. So she understands what you were trying to prevent by warning her earlier
Some lesson are best learnt through experience.
Some men will carry you when your feet hurt.
Others will stand there and say, “I warned you about those heels.”
If he lectures you when you’re in pain, he’s not your person.
The right one lifts first. Talks later.
@NobleMaxie@tessysmitha Even if it's the 26th time, right? You carried her, treated her with money you could have used to buy kids' toys or do smthn else at home; wound's not completely healed and she's about to wear it again for the 27th time. U are reminding her and she's exchanging words. Classic.
