In another bold and eye-opening message, Aisha Ruth Kasolo has sparked fresh debate after addressing a growing concern: why the young generation is increasingly skeptical about marriage.
Speaking through her popular TikTok empowerment videos, Dr. Kasolo acknowledges that many young people today are indeed losing interest in marriage. She notes that even within her own family, some young men are unwilling to consider settling down, a reality she says reflects a wider trend.
According to her, one of the biggest reasons behind this shift is the rising cost of modern relationships. She explains that marriage today has become extremely expensive, making it difficult for young people who are still trying to build their lives.
Dr. Kasolo points out that while many young women are financially capable, there is still a strong expectation for men to take on most of the financial responsibilities. She suggests that this imbalance is discouraging many young men from committing to marriage.
However, she offers a solution that is already sparking conversation. She advises that young couples who are still developing financially should learn to support each other instead of placing all the pressure on one person. She emphasizes that both partners have roles to play and can contribute in different ways.
She further challenges the traditional belief that men must always pay for everything, explaining that such thinking is outdated. According to her, women can also take responsibility for certain expenses, such as bills during outings, while men continue to handle major responsibilities like home needs and children’s education.
At the same time, she warns that this shared responsibility should not become an excuse for men to abandon their duties. She stresses that balance is key.
Drawing from religious perspectives, she adds that in some traditions, a woman’s money is considered her own, and any support she offers to the family should come willingly, not as an obligation.
Dr. Kasolo also advises men seeking marriage to choose partners who are ready to grow and support them, urging that loyalty should remain even after success is achieved.
Her message is igniting intense discussions, as many young people begin to rethink love, responsibility, and the true meaning of partnership in modern times. (For comments on this story, get back to us on 0705579994 [WhatsApp line], 0779411734 & 041 4674611 or email us at mulengeranews@gmail.com).
