“With no complaints 👐 For we believe that my money is our money and her money is our money too, there is no division when it comes to money or anything that pertains to our relationship, so as a man, I do what Christ expects of me, and she also plays her part the way she has to. We are not perfect, but we do our best,” they captioned the post.
