He says that marriage is already a lot of work, so having to pay off a debt will only make things harder for the couple.
Kwaku Adumatta told Kwabena Boafo on the Happy 98.9FM show "Nsem Pii": "It's not the best way to start your lives. When will you pay off your debts so you can move on with your lives and grow? What if there are also children in the picture? Bills keep going up, so it doesn't make sense to start out with debts. If the marriage is built on debt, it won't last.
He said that it's too bad that so many young people are making that mistake. "They want to make people and society happy, so they do anything to make it happen, even if it means taking out loans.
What they need to realize is that marriage isn't a race. It looks like that now, and they keep raising people's hopes when they shouldn't," he said.
He said that married people should work with what they have because marriage is hard work that requires a lot.
"The wedding isn't what's important. People need to know that the real marriage happens after the wedding and get ready for it. "If you start your lives together with debts, it will cause a lot of trouble and unhappiness, and people should try to avoid it," he said.
