I've been thinking about the intense drama in Nollywood films where characters sacrifice everything—like saving up for a partner's scholarship abroad—only to face a painful breakup right before the payoff. In real life, is it wise to treat a partner's personal development as a long-term investment, or does blending finances before marriage create a power imbalance that destroys the relationship? I'd love to hear if you think love should be risk-assessed like a financial portfolio.
