My Husband’s Value Goes Beyond What He Provides — Bunmi George

According to media personality Bunmi George, a person’s value for their spouse in a marriage should never be determined by money or material belongings.

In an interview with the At His Right Hand podcast, she clarified that the Bible is the source of her understanding of marriage and submission. She emphasized that a husband’s status in the household shouldn’t be determined by his income or ability to support the family.

She said:

“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?”.

For a woman to say that her husband matters more than what he provides, it suggests he has given her far more than material things. It reflects how deeply he cares and the trust, commitment, understanding, and patience they share. I truly love what Bunmi George said about her husband, it speaks beautifully of their bond.
