AN ADVICE TO MARRIED MEN AND YET TO BE MARRIED MEN

It isn’t really our thing to save up for certain projects, we live life as we see it but since we are made in the image of God, who knew Jeremiah (read yourself, insert your name) and ordained him to be a prophet even before he was made, and told us that he knows the plan he had for us…

I met a man at a friend’s wedding, and we discussed as we waited for the spouse to arrive at their own reception LATE, they had arrived at the Church late as well, two hours late.

Okay before I talk about the discussion I had with the man, why would one come late for a wedding that has been fixed about a month ago, you gave us the cards, you gave us the time, you picked the venue, you picked the spouse and we arrived at the wedding before you?

It’s hard to comprehend especially when you know that a man came to his own wedding late, I know sometimes the wedding can be exhausting but the reason for committee of friends isn’t for contribution of funds but organization also.

Please delegate tasks, ask for help when needed, if there is anything I’ve learnt about men is that we are fickle, have back up plans because men will fail you, Check out for Incase, What if

What if the cake doesn’t arrive early? What if the fuel finishes, what if the photographer misplaces his memory card, build alot of back up and sub backups.

I was part of the Groom’s men in a particular wedding, the groom was taking too much calls, directing and redirecting people to the venue, as a good friend, I snatched the phone from him, “Nwanna, I’ll take it from here go and dress up, if the call is so important I will give it to you”

Did I mention that we rehearsed the day before the wedding, got a venue close to the church to lodge and booked an Uber to take us to the venue minutes earlier after our main driver disappointed us and we prayed for the groom (very important) in the early hours of the morning

Even with our level of preparedness, we still encountered issues o but we were ready to think on our feet and surmount them.

I’ve not even given my advice though, please plan towards the wedding, Now after the wedding (my real advice)

Start saving towards the pregnancy, it doesn’t matter whether you know she’s pregnant or not, you can choose to either take some of the funds given to your at the wedding and invest it into a HMO plan.. (I’ll talk about HMO later or you can send me a DM for clarification)

HMO helps you to take care of antenatal, postnatal and scans as well as the delivery but then it comes with moratorium (a period of time to wait before you can get access to a benefit or benefits) more like a probation period.

Then if you have more funds, then you can take it further to saving for the unborn children, now just saving is good but saving with an insurance is much better because there are amazing benefits that an insurance would give you that some financial institution won’t give you like a permanent disability cover, family income benefits as well as loyalty bonus.

If you’re married already, then you need to plan towards your children and your wife’s pregnancy because God in his wisdom gave us the space of 9 months to do that, not when one gives birth, you see someone running around looking for funds to pay for medical fees. If you don’t have money to take care of that, please we have family planning, you can use condoms until you think you’re ready

Again I wrote this from a place of Love
I pray you take my advice
