Wife says they started broke
In another tweet, the woman disclosed that things weren't smooth for her and her husband when their relationship started many years ago.
According to her, they met in 2009, and were both very poor and squatted with different people.
Together, and armed with their love and perseverance, they bought their first car together and rented their first small apartment too.
She further noted that everything they have achieved today was built from the ground up.
She stressed that one doesn't necessarily need to marry a poor partner, but it is important they are supportive of each other's dreams.
"One thing i can boldly say anywhere is that my husband and I started from absolute zero, he was broke, i was broke when we met, no money, no stability, nothing handed to us. We met in 2009 when we were both squatting with different people and just trying to survive.
"Together, we bought our first car and figured out how to get to work. We rented our first small apartment. Everything we have today was built from the ground up, with love, teamwork and perseverance. You don’t have to marry a poor man/woman but for the love of God be supportive of each other dreams."
