Never ever let the following be the number one reason for wanting to marry somebody:
1.Their wealth
2.Family connections
3.Their physical appearance or looks
4.The possession of an advantageous passport (foreign passport)
There is nothing wrong with these things by themselves, but THEY ARE SECONDARY CONSIDERATIONS OR OF FAR LESSER IMPORTANCE THAN THE PERSON'S CHARACTER, VALUES AND BELIEFS.
CHARACTER AND VALUES MUST ALWAYS BE TOP OF THE LIST WHEN CHOOSING A POTENTIAL SPOUSE (HUSBAND OR WIFE). Wealth, being good-looking, coming from a well-connected family should only be regarded as a bonus IF THEY OCCUR. Remember that most people all over the world who end up wealthy or financially secure do so only after a lifetime of hard work, wise investing and living frugally. They did not start life being rich.

BEFORE WE CAN CHOOSE SOMEONE WITH THE RIGHT CHARACTER TRAITS, WE MUST MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE OURSELVES OF A SOUND CHARACTER AND IN POSSESION OF EXCELLENT LIFE VALUES. Remember that “birds of a feather flock together” so you will naturally be attracted to someone with the same values as yourself.

Values like:
1.INTEGRITY & HONESTY
2.BEING RESPECTFUL AND CONSIDERATE TOWARDS OTHERS.
3.BELEIVING IN THE SANCTITY OF MARRIAGE (OR THAT MARRIAGE IS FOR LIFE AND ONLY FOR THE TWO OF YOU- NO THIRD PARTY MUST EVER BE ALLOWED UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES)
4.BEING HARDWORKING OR INDUSTRIOUS AND UNDERSTANDING THE IMPORTANCE OF DELAYED GRATIFICATION (THE ABLILITY TO POSTPONE ENJOYMENT TODAY SO THAT YOU CAN ACHIEVE A MUCH HIGHE GOAL IN THE FUTURE)
5.HAVING HEALTHY AMBITION AND BEING ABLE TO HAVE REALISTIC GOALS AND PLANNING HOW YOU INTEND TO ACHIEVE THESE GOALS.
6.HAVING A KIND HEART AND A GENEROUS SPIRIT
7.TRUTHFUL AND LOYAL
All these great human qualities can be summed as in one sentence: THEY ARE THE QUALITIES OF A GO- FEARING PERSON WHO FAITHFULLY ADHERES TO THE TEACHINGS OF THE HOLY SCRIPTURES AND NOT MERE REGULAR CHURCH ATTENDANCE OR PARTICIPATING IN THE LIFE OF THE CHURCH IN SOME WAY.

Correction: "All these great human qualities can be summed as in one sentence: THEY ARE THE QUALITIES OF A GOD- FEARING PERSON WHO FAITHFULLY ADHERES TO THE TEACHINGS OF THE HOLY SCRIPTURES AND NOT MERE REGULAR CHURCH ATTENDANCE OR PARTICIPATING IN THE LIFE OF THE CHURCH IN SOME WAY".

Where possible never start your married life in the home of your in-laws especially if they are wealthy as they will use their position to try to control you, manipulate you to suit their own interests. THIS IS SIMPLE HUMAN NATURE.
IT IS VITAL TO UNDERSTAND THAT ANY MARRIED COUPLE STARTING LIFE TOGETHER WILL NEED THE SPACE PRIVACY AND TIME TO ADJUST TO EACH OTHER OVER THE FIRST SEVERAL YEARS- This can be a very stressful time for most couples as they learn to be less selfish, adjust to the needs of the other person , learn to apologise/ say sorry, learn not always insist on their way, learn to be sympathetic and empathetic and thereby TOGETHER BUILD THEIR IDENTITY AS A COUPLE. EVERY COUPLE NEEDS TIME TO BUILD THEIR IDENTITY (AND THEY DO THIS BY GIVING UP SOME OF THEIR OWN INDPENDENCE, THEIR OWN PREFERENCES AND WANTS) This can be a very dangerous time to have in-laws or extended family members involved even if they are well-meaning. IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT COUPLES LEARN TO SOLVE THEIR OWN PROBLEMS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE AND AVOID RUNNING TO RELATIVES (WHO WILL NATURALLY TAKE THEIR SIDES) TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THEIR HUSBAND OR WIFE'S FAILINGS. There is a place for counselling, but this must always be, if possible, done with a qualified experienced independent counsellor who deals with both marriage partners TOGETHER.
Carelessly involving family members or friends or other authority figures in society in marital squabbles can often lead to gossip, backbiting and end up magnifying a couple’s problems, making it more difficult for them to forgive and move forward.
IF NECESSARY, A MARRIED COUPLE SHOULD LIVE AS FAR AWAY AS POSSIBLE FROM INTERFERING EXTENDED FAMILY (IN ANOTHER TOWN, CITY OR EVEN COUNTRY) AND THEY MUST NOT ENTERTAIN TROUBLEMAKERS (NCLUDING PARENTS, SIBLINGS AND OTHER EXTENDED FAMILY) WHO VISIT SO THAT THEY CAN STIR UP TROUBLE OR LATER USE INFORMATION COLLECTED TO GOSSIP ABOUT A YOUNG COUPLE’S AFFAIRS.
Relatives who have personal knowledge of a newly married man or woman can be the source of the most devasting gossip, poisonous rumours and back-biting the results of which can last for years resulting in estrangement, isolation and a person becoming ostracised.

There's nothing like free lunch bro. If thats not the case then sorry for me saying. Many people are in unhappy marriages and dont have the balls to divorce until death do us part. Sia pastors and counselors. Most marriages would have ended in 1 month too but they chose to foolishly stay and suffer. One guy I know discovered his wife had a messy but this lady when dating said no sex before marriage. She was hiding.

@Diva, i know many of your type who claim that they walked out of an unhappy marriage but give a lot of sex to ordinary low life guys.
I encountered one as a student in London. She complained that her husband she had two nice children with was boring and abusive. Whatever the ABUSE WAS.
The man did not beg her, plead to work on the marriage or anything of that sort. She went in for an Eastern European boy who was about 25 to 28 years old. This Ghanaian woman was about 48 years years old and having such a young guy having sex with her came with loud screaming sounds. Her pelvic bones and canal were not the same after having two kids so the pummelling from this young boy made her scream in pain. Indeed their sex was like war.

This guy for whatever reason beats her up at any given opportunity. The sad part is that when her daughter came on a visit, she sees the physical marks on her mother, but she was powerless to do anything.

Tell me, why is it that women again and again claim that they are not married in their marriages then walk away into this embarrassing situations? WHY?
Someone tell me.

Your being married for 22 years doesn't mean you're the standard for tolerating any nonsense in marriage. A week after my younger brother got married, his father in law was insisting that his daughter come and help with the harvest in the village. Of course, he refused.

As for me, relatives know me very well so nobody tries any nonsense on me. And I get approval and support from my wife. Before we got married, I made it clear to her that I won't be tolerating nonsense from both her side and my side.

The likes of Kwesi Pratt Jrs and Lawyer Anokye Frimpongs will be wailing, whining, and definitely have mental upset after reading the below:

It is very much advisable, to seek opinions concerning the “Independence Transition Era” from, “mature/young adults” of the time.
Anyone who is below the age of 82 years, must adduce evidence; when they propagate any stance in regard to the times.
That is simply because, anyone aged 82 would have been a 15 year old; as at 1957.
Even then, they would not have been considered mature enough to make decisions ; since the law considered that to be the age of 21 years. Thereby qualifying only 88 year olds and above to evidence-free opinions.
However, let’s be charitable enough to make it three years below the “age of maturity” considered today (18 years). Hence 82 years and above.
Nkrumahists, as I have reiterated constantly and consistently, are the biggest project and credit thieves in the history of Ghana.
A critical “story” as such, is one where they paint a picture of the Tema Oil Refinery being Ghana Government owned, and started; by Kwame Nkrumah and his Government. It is to be found in all the long lists peddled. A lie from the deepest pits of hell!
It was an Italian refinery, owned by the companies ANIC Societa per Azioni and AGIP Societa per Azioni. Fully owned. Never ever involved with the Government of Ghana in terms of ownership under the Nkrumah regime. The Government of Ghana, only began buying into it in the year 1975; under Gen. Ignatius Kutu Achaempong, and fully acquired it in 1977.
So, below is a corrected list of Projects attributed to the Nkrumah Government, coupled with a challenge to Nkrumahists to double-check and disprove (They include a plethora of falsely attributed projects) -
1. University of Ghana -
It formerly was, the University College of the Gold Coast.
Established in 1948; with the influence of prominent Gold Coast figures such as Kobina Arku Korsah, Robert JP Armitage etc.
2. KNUST -
It used to be the Kumasi College of Science and Technology, which was established by Nana Prempeh II in 1952. It was rebranded in 1961.
3. Volta River Authority -
It formerly was, the Volta River Development Scheme established in 1948. Report by Sir William Halcrow and Partners; 1950.
It was rebranded in 1961
4. State Housing Corporation -
It formerly was, the Gold Coast Housing Corporation. Established in 1956. It was rebranded in 1961.
5. Ghana Institute of Journalism
It was formerly School of Journalism; as part of a Department of Accra Technical Institute, established in 1949.
It was rebranded in 1959.
6. Korle Bu Teaching Hospital -
It was established in 1923 by Sir Gordon Guggisberg. Its biggest expansion was not by the Nkrumah Government but by the government of General Ignatius Kutu Acheampong.
IK Acheampong is credited for mounting Guggisberg’s statue at Korle Bu; during his expansion exercise. (Can be found on youtube)
7. Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital -
It formerly was, Kumasi Central Hospital, built in 1954. Major expansions by General IK Acheampong; who converted it into a teaching hospital in 1975.
8. Akosombo Dam -
Developed under the Volta River Development Scheme; established in 1948.
It was as part of latter parts of the scheme; but accelerated and constructed by Kwame Nkrumah’s regime.
8. Ghana National Trading Company (GNTC) -
Formerly, Leventis AG Ghana; whose interests in Ghana, were bought out in 1962. The Government then took over its assets and liabilities.
9. The Supreme Court of Ghana -
It was established in 1874 and cannot be attributed to Nkrumah. No references on the “Temple of Justice”.
10. Ghana Airways -
It formerly was, a part of the West African Airways Corporation; established in 1946 by the Governments of Britain’s 4 West African Colonies. Namely, The Gambia, Sierra Leone, Gold Coast and Nigeria.
It was broken up in 1958; as a result of the Independence of Ghana…
11. Ghana Atomic Energy Commission -
Formerly, the Atomic Energy Committee; established in 1952. Rebranded in 1961.
12. Cocoa Marketing Board-
First, the Cocoa Marketing Board established in 1932, then it was incorporated into the West African Produce Control Board in 1940, Cocoa Marketing Board in 1947 and finally, the Ghana Cocoa Board in 1979.
13-16. The Tema Harbour, Tema Community, Tema Motorway and Valco Aluminium Smelter.
All Part of the “Volta River Development Scheme” established in 1948, with a plan to have Tema as the port of business; for all establishments of the scheme. The Portfolio put together by Sir William Halcrow and Partners by 1950.
Construction of the Tema Harbour began in 1951. It was rebranded in 1961.
The Tema Community and Motorway were as part of the “Tema Manhean Project”, which began in 1951; and was rebranded in 1961.
The Valco Aluminium Smelter was a joint venture between ALCOA, Kaiser Aluminium and the Gold Coast Government in 1948. Its only involvement in 1961, only had to do with a power purchasing agreement for its smelters with the Akosombo Dam.
17. Bolga Tannery -
A project (1965) that never came to fruition; in addition to the Bolgatanga Airport (where £6.9 million was allocated, but misused and misappropriated)
One of Nkrumah’s ”sitting ducks”, which were never operated, but boasted about.
18. Pwalugu Tomato Factory -
Established in 1961 by the Nkrumah Government. It however was never ever operated! So, between 1961 and 1965; there was no operational tomato factory.
Another sitting duck, used for aesthetic purposes rather than production.
It’s first production was in 1973, under General Ignatius Kutu Acheampong.
19. Juapong Textile Factory -
It formerly was the Volta Star Textiles Limited, established by the National Liberation Council in 1968.
It cannot be attributed to the Nkrumah Government.
20. Komenda Sugar Factory -
It was established in 1964 by the Nkrumah Government.
Though, just as all the other ”sitting ducks”; it was never operated by the Nkrumah Government.
Production of sugar was commenced by the NLC; in 1967.
EDUCATION
21. Mfantsiman Girls -Formerly Government (Gold Coast) Girls School, Saltpond; established by Governor Guggisberg in 1923.
22. Accra Girls -Formerly Government (Gold Coast) Girls School, Accra; established by Governor Guggisberg in 1923.
23. Tema Secondary School -Established by the Nkrumah Administration under GetFund, in 1961
24. Techiman Secondary School - Though established in 1963; it was not done by Governmental initiative (As is thought, since the foundation stone was laid by Hon. Dowuona Hammond), but by the citizens of Techiman and Nana Ekumfi Ameyaw III.
25. Winneba Secondary School - A private school, founded in 1949; incorporated into the GetFund initiative in 1961.

29. Dormaa Secondary School - Established by the locals in 1947; and added to the GetFund initiative in 1961.

Bonus. Ghana Secondary School was started in 1943, as Phoenix College. It’s name was changed to Christ College in 1950…It was then absorbed into the Public School system in 1957; where it’s name was changed to Ghanasco.
Colleges of Education -
31. Kwadaso College -Established in 1922, under Governor Guggisberg; with assistance from Cadbury and Fry Limited
32. Atebubu College -Established under the Nkrumah Administration in 1965.

37. Kumasi Technical University (Formerly Institute) - Established in 1954, under Governor Noble Arden Clarke. It was made a non-tertiary polytechnic by the Nkrumah Administration in 1963.
38. Accra Technical University (Formerly Institute) - Established in 1949; the year of 3 Governors, Robert Scott, Thorleif Rattray and Gerald Creasy.
It was made into a Polytechnic in 1963, by the Nkrumah Government.
Therefore, the total number of secondary schools established (organically) by the Nkrumah government is 3 (Out of a total 475 in the country). It established no universities (Though it must be given credit for upgrading them), and 4 Colleges of education (Out of a total 46 in the country).

The leaps of the righteous teach many but fools die for want of wisdom. When you display money on the street, many people including the wicked will assist you to spend it. Go back to kindergarten and start afresh.

My Friend, you should ALWAYS remember to keep to your LANE. You knew the marriage wasn’t going to work out but tried with “STUBBORNNESS TO make it work. OfCourse it’s not going to happen. Sorry about your ordeal. But you must understand your Ex-Father-in-law. She has invested in her daughter.

You rather exhibited pride. Your in-law asking you to take care of his hotel, doesn't mean they wanted to control you. If you are hardworking, that could have been a part-time business all together. Your " two pence" marriage expenditure doesn't mean they sold their daughter, who's supposed to take care of their finances in their old age. Should they let their business collapse because you married their daughter, when they can't do much in their old age. You showed yourself as a potential dictator in the marriage, that's why they helped in collapsing it. Marrying someone's daughter doesn't mean you've bought her out of the family, though I do agree there shouldn't be interferences. All the best though.

I think you acted immaturely if your father in law tried to control you because he asked u to manage a hotel. Many families go through these and don’t divorce. If her dad was bill gates and had gone u millions you’d still be married to her. There are many men who would appreciate help from their in laws. Remember you are his son too. Grow up, sir!
