The Marriage & Money Summit returns for its second edition on Saturday, October 3, 2026, at Detutu Event Place, Ogudu, Lagos.
This year’s theme, “The Power Couple Blueprint: Rewiring Money Habits, Communication Patterns and Partnership Dynamics,” reflects the everyday realities couples face as they manage marriage, money, family responsibilities and changing economic pressures.
The free one-day event will bring together married and engaged couples, relationship experts, financial professionals and counsellors for practical conversations on building stronger marriages and achieving financial stability.
Marriage & Money Summit 2.0 will examine some of the issues affecting modern African households, including financial disagreements, poor communication, conflicting money habits, changing gender and economic roles, and the absence of effective financial planning between couples.
Speaking about the purpose of the summit, the convener, Dr Adetutu Afolabi, said: “Many marital conflicts that appear to be about money are often rooted in communication, expectations, upbringing and unspoken fears. This summit will help couples recognise these patterns, make better financial decisions and build their homes as true partners.”
The programme will feature expert-led sessions, candid conversations with couples, practical financial guidance and the signature Marriage Unfiltered fireside chat. Participants will also have access to professional relationship counsellors.
The sessions are designed to help couples communicate more openly about money, understand each other’s financial backgrounds, align their goals and develop healthier systems for managing their finances together.
Ten selected households will also receive financial grants as part of the summit’s commitment to supporting families beyond the event.
Dr Afolabi added: “The economy begins at home. When households are emotionally healthy and financially stable, they are better equipped to raise secure children, build lasting family businesses and contribute meaningfully to society.”
Marriage & Money Summit 2.0 is a free public-impact initiative open to married couples, engaged partners, singles preparing for marriage and anyone seeking a healthier understanding of marriage, money and partnership.
