Out of their struggle, they sent you to Wesley Girls High School Cape Coast, you didn\u2019t pass, and all you keep saying is \u201cI\u2019m a woman, a man will marry me\u201d, men today are wiser, they won\u2019t marry for free, regardless of how beautiful you are, if I see that my marrying you will bring me problems, I won\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n He admonished women to be ambitious, to strive to attain greatness and excellence also so as to avoid over dependency on the men in marriage particularly when the men are making an effort to support them to make it in society.<\/p>\n \u201cNothing is more frustrating than a man and woman wishing to prosper either the spouse or a child, son or daughter but they won\u2019t pull their weight.<\/p>\n \u201cYou can\u2019t exert all the weight on your spouse, expecting him to provide everything, you\u2019ve got to sit down and study.\u201d<\/p>\n He also chided young men who exploit ladies desperate for marriage and have sex with them knowing very well that they have no intents whatsoever of settling down with them.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd for the lady if you leave yourself, he will still sleep with you, even in the sex act he knows he won\u2019t marry you, wicked young men, why do you do that?\u201d, he quizzed.<\/p>\n Opanin Kwadwo Kyere was addressing the congregation at a marriage seminar at the Ringway Assemblies of God Church in Accra.<\/p>\n Opanin Kwadwo Kyere among other things, spoke against pre-marital sex and abortion. He listed them as key factors that account for infertility and barrenness in women and which eventually brings unhappiness in most marriages. He urged the youth to abstain indulging in sex before marriage in the name of \u2018enjoying wealth\u2019 and \u2018having fun\u2019 at the expense of one\u2019s future and marriage.<\/p>\n![\"Opanin](\"https:\/\/ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/20458364.295.jpg\" "\\"Opanin")
