@ ThiefOfHearts ,

that is where you are wrong

if you see yourself as a housemaid to your hubby, that u will be

you role as a wife is to take care of you hubby as u will with your baby.

will u call washing your baby's clothes or preparing his (baby) food being a housemaid?

that is the way God has instituted marriage and if you want to enjoy and not endure it u just have to treat your husband as if he were a baby.

your response on "if a woman should be a housewife" and your response here are so contradictory
i think we are trying to over catch up with the western world that we are losing the meaning of what matters and misinterpreting the language as well.

If we all understood the biblical meaning of marriage, there wouldnt be any reason for argument.

As for me, my husband is the owner of my head so everything of mine belongs to him. I by the grace of God operate a Christian marriage where my marriage is built on the solid rock.

As soon as i collect my salary or any other money i bring everything home. we both plane with the money and if no immediate expenses the money is put in the family account.


You are very correct Madam. You really a role model in contemporary Nigeria. And I assure you, you will always have a blissful, blessed and happy home. Children reared in homes like this are always different from children reared in homes where there are arguments.

Keep it up

I like to invest in smart programs or business with my money like forinstance, I can buy an education insurance for my children or I culd open a business and try make profit out of it or I could buy government bond. Stuff like that or I couldhelp my husband out if he needs cash for his business or anything which he wants to o with it or I could just save it for a rainy day

well according 2 my orientatn & according 2 wat i practice wit my wyf is dat her earnings belong 2 her & i hav absolutelt no business wit it

In my Culture wat i signed up for by marriage is to take care of her FEEDING, SHELTER & CLOTHING. by extension also her education.

any of these things is my responsibility; if on her own she decides 2 bring anythin 2 contribute, (which she does once in a while) i'l gladly accept. lol

but seriously though, no permanent arrangement saying she MUST bring sumthin evry mth. 4tun8ly, she is also understandin enof not 2 make me do things not within my means! (which she also knows)

Bro. if i got you right, that means you will regard her well if she brough her earnings to show u either by supporting or in any way. Now a good wife is her husband's glory, if she does this all the time, the man will give up anything for her except of course the man is a case would appreciate her.

my home depite the fact that i handle the family account (the sole signatory to the account) i still take my cash (salary) and any other home to my husband. and i believe that is why the man has given me the total control of the family finance.

My dear sisters, let your hubby be the head that God has made him, do your part by being submissive and leave the rest for God.

Bro. can you trust your wife to the extent of leaving the family finances in her hands? That is what submission and being a prudent wife can do.

bless you.  you wont start saving and having plan B.  thank God there are still people of good virtue amongst us. 

a good wife is always from God.

by the way why do teenagers and people yet to find a boy friend let alone a husband feel it safe to talk on on these matters?

thanks JJYOU,

i am not bluffing here, God knows i am saying the truth. In my present parish, by the grace of God started the single sisters' forum where they will be taught on how to handle their home and there will be peace.

Is not as if my husband and i dont quarell atleast we are not saints, but we settle our differences.

What i am saying a nut shell is that young ladies (both married and yet to be married) the secret of a good marriage are

i.   set you home on the solid rock (Jesus)

ii.  Submit to your husband in every way

my reponses are not contracdictory. I cant be a housewife meaning that i cant stay at home doing nothing and waiting for a man to give everything.

I give my earnings to my husband does not mean he depends on it. The money he makes in a week is more than my one month salary. So he doesnt need my money but it only shows me an excellent wife. the bible says in Prv. An excellent wife who can find?

God bless you.  happy/ blessed are you for knowing this.  my ma inlaw says only mad people argue against themselves. Christ is always the rock with fresh waters that never fails

i cant remember the thread exactly but i remember a lady here being attacked for saying she set up the kitchen in her home. i dont know any sensible man who knows is back is fully covered by the wife that wont let her be the queen of her castle.  like your hubby the mrs runs everything in the house/ family that is becos i trust her with my life.  she is a blessing and good team player.  

if most women know how important and easy it is to get your man as your best friend they would stop all the   unnecesary & unhealthy craving for controversy and  quarrels some enjoy so much.  the danish say "Wise men do not quarrel with each other".  that is wisdom.

the ability and power of strife to ruin a good family has not been well explored by many.  if you can avoid quarrels and strife in your home you are almost gauranteed to achieve whatever you set out to do by Gods grace. the psalms said violence and noise should not be in our street let alone home.  relationships dont have to be nightmares and battle ground.  it is always a place to relate, share and not divide or go soloand lonely as some have made it.

i know we come from background where we have to fight to survive but we must come to the stage where we learn it is wrong and begin not to tolerate it especially in our family and relationships because the main looser is always you and your partner.

Naturally, the earnings of both couples are for the family. A house divided against itself cannot stand.
I'm still single but i know that my wife has to help me plan and build our family.
We have to plan and save for our kids futures. I'm very comfortable right now and can take care of all that but it's not wise that a wife should keep her earnings to herself.
The bible describes the woman as "the helper"

A wife is meant to assist the husband is every way possible, that includes making right decisions, curtailing unneccessary expenditure, raising the kids, building a loving family and ofcourse paying the bills if neccessary.

Women are supporters to men, so pls  nairalandergilrs, kindly be a supporter to your husbands.
Someone said they both should share the family expenses equally- why can't they also share the house keeping, laundry,cooking, taking care of the children.

men=80% or 70%
women=20% or 30%

@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
