Media personality Bunmi George has stressed that a successful marriage should not depend on how much money either partner brings into the home, explaining that financial circumstances should not determine the respect and value spouses have for each other.

Speaking on the At His Right Hand podcast, George explained that her approach to marriage and submission is rooted in her understanding of God's word. For her, being a husband and occupying the position of the head of the home is not something that should be determined by income, possessions or financial status.

She acknowledged that providing for the family is important, but maintained that it should not become the standard by which a husband is respected. She also pointed out that couples sometimes allow financial expectations to create problems in their marriages, even when there are other things worth holding on to.

In her words:

“I think it’s the understanding of God and the word of God, right? What the word of God says. I live by the word of God. It’s an office. It’s not based on material possession.

“My husband is whether the head today or not the head tomorrow because of how much he can provide. No. Provision important, yes, but it’s an office. So I submit to that office regardless of how much he’s making.

“A lot of times we sacrifice our marriages on the altar of money.

“My husband is more important to me than what he can provide. He makes good money. But that’s why we’re together. And the time when he didn’t make money, we were still able to value one another regardless of who was bringing in a bigger piece of the pie. It’s just money, right?”

George's comments also touched on the different financial seasons couples may experience during marriage. A partner who is doing well financially today may not always be in that position, and she believes that should not change the way they are treated at home.

She made it clear that her husband's importance to her goes beyond his ability to provide, recalling that they were able to maintain mutual respect even during a period when he was not making money.

Her position is that financial contribution should not be the only thing holding a marriage together. While money is necessary to meet family needs, she believes couples should be careful not to allow it to overshadow the love, understanding and respect that brought them together in the first place.
