@benedict
i so pity u. when it clears from your eye i hope its not too late.
a woman is not meant to provide for the family, it is the man's duty and the bible did not say the woman shold bring what she earns into the hose she is meant to submit not provide
women that have goone the way of benedict usually regret itFOR EXAMPLE ask the women selling akara on the street what really happened
WOMEN BE WISE
She should rather pity you. The type of selfish and lazy woman who wants to put every responsibility on her husband's shoulders. If the bible hadn't said, you'd still find an excuse to keep your money to yourself. Admit you are greedy and stop hiding behind the scriptures. |

Is she even hiding behind the Scriptures? No, she's hiding behind ignorance and selfishness. She said the Scriptures only mention "submission." Submission of what? Yourself, excluding your resources? Rubbish!  |

Why must there be a difference? Just like the husband a woman must give all she can to her family. Only selfish and greedy women want to keep their earning to themselves. Oleeee! |

Full Gbammmmm!!!!!!!!!!!!! But would be nice for the woman to keep the money for the family to use when they are broke. |

i'd like to believe a family can pool money. they can, together, put money aside for a rainy day. i don't see why she should be squirrelling hers away. that's (hopefully) how i'd do things.

That is how it is in a normal world. But Nigeria is abnormal. |

it is for a good purpose. they are mostly saving for such in case day or when the marriage dont work so they have something to fall on. it is always good to have plan B |

so what does the man do if it all falls apart? by all means, maintain a career, a level of independence (which, i concede may mean both keeping a little money aside) but both parties have to invest as much of their energies to create a successful marriage.

When a woman goes into a marriage with a plan B, then Plan A is already a failure. Besides, i think what they need to do is change the marital law in nigeria to provide for the woman in case the marriage falls apart. |

It is her obligation. The kids are also hers. That's an excuse for selfish women. Sorry, but I don't buy it. |

You're right ooo, sis. If the man is obligated to use his income for the welfare of the family; the same should apply to the woman. The home belongs to the two of them, not just the man.  |

Besides, i think what they need to do is change the marital law in nigeria to provide for the woman in case the marriage falls apart. what would you recommend? |

Yes, i agree with you whole heartedly. I think the law needs to change and make sure that the woman is taken cared of when the man decide to kick the woman out all in the name of infidelity or for any reason at all. |

i think that is very wrong. She must help if she has the means to. However, like i said earlier wont mind my woman saving the money, so that we can fall back to it when needs be. BUT, if she is a woman with plan B, we will sure have a formula of contributing to the expenses of the home. |

so now that you know, what shd a woman do with her earnings? Oh, please don't get me started. Look at my old posts. In marriage, I don't believe there is a man's earnings and a woman's earnings. A family has (or should have) one purse. Chikena! |

In some cases, it is not that easy, so in such cases, what should happen? |
