WORD!!! For those that support the idea that men should be 100% responsible for the bills, here is a problem and i need a solution. What if a wife earned more than her husband and at a moment the husband got broke. What do you think you would do as a wife? I mean a good wife? Well if you think your man has to be 100% responsible for the bills while you are busy using your money to purchase irrelevant ornaments such as necklaces, bracelets, earrings, or rings then i must be candid, that shows how inconsiderate, selfish or callous you could be as a wife. |

na2day?: the last time i checked i am not a feminist, i cant compete with a man or do what a man does KratosII: the husband should get his ass up and go look for a job, stop relying on a woman to feed you, a woman knows her responsibilities without being told, just dont sit down there and expect her to spend on you 1 Like |

d current economic trend shows that a man alone cannot take care of d finance of the family all alone. it is better to plan and be wise than 2 b fighting on monetary matters. most people do not set financial goals and waste the money (seeds) that should have been invested. when they are broke, the home becomes hot. FINANCE IS A MAJOR KEY TO KEEPING THE HOME TOGETHER |

I think it is one of the duties of the Man. However, the Woman shouldn't see it as the sole responsibility of the man, likewise the way the man must not see other duties presume to be the woman's as her sole responsibilities. It should be a mutual thing, thats what relationship is all about, symbiosis not para Opinion |

The poster's colleague is still in a fantasy land. In truth and for real, no man can be 100% responsible for the family bills. There is no way a woman will not contribute to the upkeep of the family except she is a 24/7 glorified housemaid (housewife) that does not deserve anyone's respect. Regardless of the fact that the man is the head of the family and sometime the breadwinner, a woman with understanding of God's purpose for her life and right exposure will ever support the man. If nothing, to ensure quality standard of living for the family. |
Re: Must The Husband Be 100% Responsible For The Family Bills? by ehie007(m): 11:38am On Nov 11, 2009 |
a woman who is not ready to contribute in the marriage is not fit to marry, gone are those days when a man take full responsibility, now its 50/50 or 60/40, if a woman earns far more, she should oblige in taking more of the responsibilitties, women want equality in everything, but when it comes to responsibilities they will find excuse, if the woman i want to marry is not ready to comtribute, she is on her own, she must show signs of ability to take responsibility during relationship, if not, OYO, , Maga no they pay again, |

If a man wants respect from his wife, he should make sure he pays for the house, kids school fees, food and basics. The woman can chip in but only on non-essentials. If for any reason or period of time, the man is down on his luck, then the woman can support (and will usually do so willingly if the man has been covering the basics) but for that time only! It is woman nature - once she starts shouldering basic financial responsibilities in her home, that admiration and respect for her husband will sub-consciously shift to someone who is more able, even if she never has anything to do with the person; she will just be comparing you to some rich guy (it could even be her Dad) and be seeing you as less of a man - even if she never shows it. Believe me, you dont want your wife 'welfaring' you. No matter how much more than you she earns you will have her utmost respect if you cover the basics. Women by nature spend on their families, especially the kids so you can be sure her excess cash will still be retained by the home. But for the love of God, do not sell your birthright for a bowl of sweet porridge. |

Lots of talk on 'supposed to'. How many of us really grew up in a home where the man was solely responsible for the bills. As a matter of fact, i have seen it happen most of the time, that the man loses his source of income at a point in the marriage and the woman takes up the responsibility, which outsiders may not even be privy to. Go and ask those who are presently running a home, they will tell you what the real situation is not to even to talk of these days where it seems its the girls that are getting jobs and the guys some of the time are just managing to get by(although things will be better o). We need to know that a woman is created for a man, to help him in whatever ramification. God will help men o. 1 Like |

i totally agree with the lady. if you want to be the HEAD OF THE HOUSE, ALSO YOU SHOULD BE THE HEAD OF ALL RESPONSIBILITIES! WITH RIGHTS COMES RESPONSIBILITIES. EXCEPT THE MEN ARE READY TO BE DE-CROWNED! |
Re: Must The Husband Be 100% Responsible For The Family Bills? by amebono1: 1:39pm On Nov 11, 2009 |
namun: dont mind them, see i have no problem with women helping out in the house, but some losers called men are looking forward to marrying women to help them pay off their morgage and help them financially A woman should help her husband out, but for a man to outrightly say he expects his woman to help him out is so , now what word will i use sef |

@chaircover, I believe PROVERBS 31 ends with ", Give her the product of her hands, And let her works praise her in the gates." - not take. In fact the entire chapter talks about her management skills, not about her 'provider' status. Her husband's pride is in the fact that his hard earned money is not going to waste but is even producing better fruit. On top of that, she makes earnings for herself by the product of her hands - DO NOT TAKE it from her - for the sake of your self respect!! Better to let her use what you give her in such a way that she makes it go very far to the point of surprising you the husband. |

chaircover: Madam Chaircover, where have u been hiding, the family section has been dried without you, next time you stay away that long, i will have to talk to the Interpol in UK oh. You have said it all, however, the man needs to understand being the head is not just about being the finacial giver, it involves a lot as well, the man has to understand that he MUST be there for the woman when needs be and when not even needed, cos the woman needs to be loved and celebrated. I love how you put it, the woman chips in when needed and can save when needed, so that there will always be something to fall back on when needs be. nethacker: Dont love her oh, cos i know Uncle Chaircover and i will TELL |
