Can Better Finances Help Restore the Spark in a Marriage?

I believe financial pressure can strain a marriage, especially in Nigeria, where rent, food, childcare and other basic needs are costly. When a couple is constantly worried about survival, frustration can easily affect intimacy, patience and mutual respect. Financial stability can give couples more room to enjoy each other, meet shared needs and plan for the future. However, money alone cannot fix problems caused by poor communication, disrespect, infidelity or unresolved emotional hurt. Rather than seeing wealth as a cure-all, I think couples should work on finances alongside honesty, shared responsibility, affection and better communication. A stronger income may reduce stress, but a lasting spark requires effort from both partners.
