Speaking on marriage and financial responsibility, the founder and General Overseer of Action Chapel International stressed that weddings should not become a burden that couples carry into their married life. He noted that many marriages begin under unnecessary pressure because couples borrow heavily just to impress others on their wedding day.
According to Archbishop Duncan-Williams, financial stability should take priority over elaborate wedding celebrations. He urged couples to delay wedding ceremonies until they are financially ready, rather than rushing into costly events they cannot afford.
“Discourage people from having weddings unless the man can prove he has GH¢100,000 in his bank account,” he said.
He explained that marriage itself is more important than the wedding event, adding that couples should focus on building a strong and sustainable foundation instead of spending large sums on a one-day celebration.
The clergyman also encouraged families and friends to stop pressuring young people into organising expensive weddings, noting that such pressure often pushes couples into debt.
His remarks have generated debate on social media, with some agreeing that financial readiness is essential for a successful marriage, while others argue that the amount suggested may be unrealistic for many young people.
