Hmmmmm, I really wish life was the way you painted it. I really wish it always ends up "happily ever-after" like in story land. After God, the next gods you have are your parents..that's why a commandment was fashioned after them..i paraphrase - honour your father and mother so that your days shall be long..if your parents haunt your wife for your property after your death, it is because you neglected them while you were alive! Divorce is like a carryover course in school, nobody plans a carryover when you get into school but it happens, some your fault, some not your fault. A wise husband would prepare for two - What if - What if I die? What if this woman leaves me ? It is not pessimism rather its realism !
Give your wife and children their legacy while you are alive then they would be better off when you are dead! Joint account is like giving her fish rather than teaching her how to fish ! Who funds the joint account when you die?



[b]So is it okay for your Father to place his parents above your mum?! grin

#WARNING:: Think Carefully.. Its a trick question. grin

O!! And your Mother, should she place her Parents above your father?! Or is this a one-way traffic route?! grin



Honour your father and Mother.. #Cool, I agree. I have read that scripture severally.

#Another Trick Question... Again, Think Carefully before you answer. grin

Honour.. Let us check the dictionary meaning of this word;

honour
: hon¦our
Pronunciation: /ˈɒnə

1 [mass noun] High respect; great esteem:
EXAMPLE:: ‘his portrait hangs in the place of honour’

2. A person or thing that brings esteem:
EXAMPLE: ‘you are an honour to our profession’

3. The quality of knowing and doing what is morally right:
EXAMPLE: ‘I must as a matter of honour avoid any taint of dishonesty’

4. Regard with great respect:
EXAMPLE: ‘Joyce has now learned to honour her father’s memory’


From all I have gathered, its all about respect. Respect your father and mother. Thats all that Honour is. But hold on, in the same Bible, it also says about the wife;

Genesis 2:24New American Standard Bible (NASB)
24 For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh.


So let me ask you again; Who according to God taking the higher order in a Mans life? His Wife or his Mother?! Remember that the bible says that for the reason of marriage; A Man shall leave his parents and be joined to his wife and they become 1.




You cant pick and shoose what part of the Bible to follow and what part to discard. Your Mother is actually your fathers Wife, same way your Wife would also be your childrens Mother.

The day you and your wife are joined in marriage, a good Mother would begin to distance herself from her Son or Daughter and only sit there as a counsellor. Parents raise kids so they can be independent in the future, not so the children would be babied for life.

If you dont trust your wife with your finances, then how can you trust her with your future (children). grin

Sorry bros, No comment. Your argument reeks of conjectured analogy; your inferences are devoid of cognitive experience. Come back when you are married.
