lomaxx: My wife earning more than me doesn't automatically translate to her being the breadwinner. I will pick all my family bills to the last naira - my wife may choose to help at her discretion. Her money is her money. If I run into shortage, I may borrow from her- pick the bills. When I'm back on my feet, I'll pay back to the last dime.

Besides, who wouldn't be proud of a woman that makes more benjamins than he does? I definitely will be. On an alternate universe, I'll see it as a challenge to hustle harder and be the man she will always be proud of. Only insecure men go about hating on their wife's better income. Only lazy men will sit at home and wait for madam to pick family bills. I'm none of those.

My humble submission.


u ar too much my brother.only if some men wil av ur kind of thinking instead inferiority complex sets in he starts becoming aggressive.

raumdeuter: If you want to avoid such problems marry a stark illiterate with no hope of making money

Even a stark illiterate can become a multi millionaire tomorrow , education is not the only key to riches

You said "her money is her money"

Apparently you lack basic understanding of marriage.

She makes more money than you. Yet you pick all the bills. So what is her money for? Not for her family?

Rehil: It all boils down to d couples.i know that we are one,so wat belongs to me belong to him.he is the head of the family no matter what.God has placed him n not man who am i to question my God?i use to earn more than my husband some years back but i made sure i always present the money to him as our money.Presently i am not working,he collects his salary,brings it home n says its our salary.honestly dia shouldnt be division in d family as to who earns more,what d woman has belongs to d man n vice versa.u can earn millions more than ur husband but without his blessing and unity in the home u may never see the usefulness of such money.
u r very wise.nt b cos of money, I pray to marry a woman like u

It's mostly African husbands who feel bad by a wife earning more.African men are intimidated by even an educated woman tagging her proud .How much more when she is richer?It's called insecurity.I don't know where in the Bible it is written that its a big deal if a wife earns more.Just our societal mentality

It is indeed ok for a woman to earn more but guys, let's be honest. Look around u and tell me the kind of women u see. Only a few will earn more and still respect their husbands. These things are easier said than done. Even born again Christians don't. It starts little by little. Unless the man choose to play a fool.

If women should earn far higher than their husbands it only takes the Grace of God 4 them to be totally submissive.

I would love that. We would spend it together. She has to give me access to her account. I mean her ATM card and she has to let me know how she spends it. I would be the Minster of Finance of the Home. grin If I don't approve of anything she is not going to buy. We have a lot of projects to do. We need more money!

Well, they are married and the woman should always respect her hubby even when she earn more than her hubby. But some woman won't agree to that if there's love which I know that there's no love any where all na wash the woman can help with some stuffs infact let her hubby take charge to their account and then plan how to make the family a lovely one. Instead of been rude or pride, women should bow to their hubby

Re: What Happens When The Wife Earns More? . by lalasticlala(m): 9:07am On Aug 30, 2014
ARES: it depends on who you marry.... when i met my wife, she earned a lot more than me but in all that time she made me feel like i am a millionaire, she never disrespected me, Today, i earn alot more than her and let me put it this way: after God its her....

some people may think that this thread is about the woman being bitchyy because she earns more, trust me most times it is our mind playing tricks on us as a man..... all her actions and inactions, you will attribute to her financial independence, most time it is not the case.

once you marry someone, not based on attributes be it money, big yanshh, big jugs, fair skin, dark skin, but based on personality, trust me u wont even notice who is richer.

good

Harbosede02: There's notin wrong if a wyf earns more dan ha husband,she jst make sure it doesn't get into ha head in orda nt to make ha hubby feel insecure.
which is what most women do, dey let it get into dia head,feel so proud n thinks dat d man doesnt deserve dem after sum months.They forget to remember d slum dat d man once picked dem frm or where dey start frm as d case may be.most women don't knw hw to handle things lyk dis n sum dat do get bad advice frm dia peers.when things become lyk dis it becomes an awful case 4 d man most especially.The number of women dat r richer dan dia husbands n still av successful homes is countable.
