Why Women Should Secure Employment Before Marriage

By Milcah Tanimu

Marriage brings many changes and responsibilities, making it crucial for women to secure a stable job before tying the knot. Financial independence not only fosters personal growth but also strengthens marital relationships. Here are six compelling reasons why having a job before marriage is essential for women:

1. **Supporting the Family**
Having a job allows women to contribute financially to the household, alleviating some of the financial pressures on their partner and ensuring a more stable and secure family environment. Shared financial responsibility can lead to a more balanced and harmonious relationship.

2. **Earning Respect**
Financial independence can earn women respect from their partner. Employment demonstrates the ability to manage responsibilities and contribute meaningfully to the partnership, fostering mutual respect and appreciation, and strengthening the bond between spouses.

3. **Contributing to Decision-Making**
Financial contributions to the household grant women a significant voice in major family decisions. This ensures that investments, savings, and expenditures are discussed and decided upon jointly and democratically.

4. **Standing Up for Oneself**
Having a job empowers women to stand up for themselves within the marriage. Financial independence provides the confidence and resources to assert personal needs and desires, reducing the likelihood of feeling trapped or overly dependent.

5. **Personal Growth and Fulfillment**
Employment offers opportunities for personal growth and fulfillment, allowing women to pursue career goals, develop new skills, and achieve a sense of accomplishment. This personal development can lead to greater happiness and self-worth, positively impacting the marriage.

6. **Security and Independence**
Having a personal income provides a safety net and a sense of independence. In the event of marital difficulties or unforeseen circumstances, financial stability ensures that women can support themselves and make necessary decisions without undue stress or dependence on others.

Securing a job before marriage enables women to support their family, earn respect from their partner, contribute to decision-making, and assert their independence. Additionally, it promotes personal growth and provides security, leading to a more balanced, respectful, and fulfilling marriage.
