Speaking at a conference, the founder and leader of Perez Chapel International stressed that the ideal time for marriage is right after completing university, typically around the age of 22 in Ghana. He explained that young graduates who secure stable jobs should prioritise marriage instead of delaying the decision.

I honestly agree. If you are financially stable and have a good woman, marry her. These streets are cold, one person commented.
However, others pointed out that the harsh economic realities make early marriage difficult. "No job, but man dey grow. How do we do that?" another questioned.
While his advice resonates with many, others argue that financial security should take precedence over early marriage. The debate continues, with people weighing the benefits of settling down young against the pressures of modern life.
