Topic
Marriage and couples
These articles cover marriage and couples in Nigeria: money fights, long distance after japa, childlessness, an unwell partner, and how couples therapy works.
Since 2023, food, fuel, rent and school fees have climbed faster than most salaries, and money fights often carry old expectations about who should provide. Tighter visa rules abroad keep some couples apart for longer than they planned. Couples facing childlessness hear the same questions at every wedding and naming ceremony. These pressures land on both partners, often in different ways.
Start with marriage under financial strain. If you're thinking about getting help together, read a guide to couples therapy.
On Mytherapist.ng you can book a couples session by video, voice or chat with a therapist who works with relationships and marriage, or go on your own if your partner isn't ready. If you're afraid of your partner, read recognising domestic abuse and our helplines page first.
