Yes.

Different couples, different arrangements. I personally would want to know how much he earns and will also let him know of my earnings. I plan to have some sort of joint account with my spouse where we'll probably deposit agreed amounts monthly that will be used to settle common expenses. Separate to our own individual personal accounts.

jashar:

Well, most men that don't want wahala will let their wives know how much they earn, otherwise the expectations will be too much.
Most people assume you earn more than you actually do and make unreasonable demands.
If as a man your salary isn't so great, and you can hardly keep up with payments, you had better let your wife know and face the reality. Her expectations and demands won't be unreasonable, and within your salary scale.
Some men even hand over their salaries to their wives. She supplements it with her own to run the house, pay household bills, school fees and all what not.
Though if you earn so much monthly, you can still get away with not letting her know cos you can always meet all demands. In fact, you see some really rich guys who live moderately, drive small cars, stays in a nice but small apartment who don't like an ostentatious lifestyle. Their wives will even be pitying them that they're demanding too much, not knowing they're wealthy .
But all in all, its a good idea to let your spouse know your earnings so you can all plan your spendings wisely.
She knowing how much you earn doesn't mean she's gonna be in charge of your finances especially if you don't trust her spending habits.

Most womens' expectations and demands will always be unreasonable as long as she ain't the one doing work or earning the pay.

My wife knows how much exactly I earn and I know hers also. In fact we both have the pins to our ATM cards. We plan our monies together because we see the family as one. No hidden nor personal agenda. Adam and Eve were both naked yet they were not ashamed. A perfect home is when both the man and the woman are truly one in heart, in the body, in finances etc.

Joint account will. BE the best[color=#990000][/color]

Yes, a husband should tell his wife how much he earns. A good wife would manage his money....

Yes of course!

If I wasn't married. I would probably ask for your hand in marriage.

Erm, I really don't know. I'll just observe the married ones and see what they say. Where is Jaybee3...coman comment

I remember my last girlfriend, funny girl wanted to play with my emotions and find out how much I was actually earning. I dodge her pass

fellis:


Marry a modern man with a very good heart then.
Many Nigerian men the minute they find out their wives have money they assume it is now time to share financial responsibilities 50/50 but these men will never ever decide to share child care and house keeping 50/50.
No. Na the wife work be that.

buhari is right,afterall..........same nigerians husbands/men criticised buhari for his statement....hypocrites

Are you married or about to?

I don't tell my wife how much I earn. Doing so will lead to frivolous demands.

Its things like this that just makes this "marriage" thing tiring to me, one person will just come and hijack your "whole" life, no 'privacy' at all at all

Yes of cos!

Let real married women tell theor story

Not all these spinsters making noise up and down


I will do this... I wont do that... Wen they enter marriage... They will not have mind to do what thet claiming

Sure....Dey do things miraculously wen God is in the home

fellis:


First of all respect yourself and don't bring any of my parents up again because I can equally bring yours up and insult them if you try me.
Secondly no, Nigerian men do not take care of children to the same extent their wives do. They only pitch in occasionally or only when they don't have a choice but to assist. Denying that fact all you want doesn't stop it from being true.
The typical Nigerian man will never agree that he and his wife have equal responsibilities towards home based child care.

Are u gay? Sorry but I just have to ask

Is a man brought up to engage in child care? You're now even talking about EQUAL responsibilities??

Oga if u like become a house husband, it's your life but don't call a MANS normal parenting instinct as BAD.

A man's primary job is to protect his family, provide for his family and LEAD his family.

A womans primary job Is to raise her family, feed her family(cooking) & support her husband(family) by words,prayer n activities that bring extra income to the household.

Per the italicized I find that line incredulous.

I think it depends on the type of wife you have...

Personally I would not disclose that information to my wife

The only thing that concerns her is that the bills get paid

Why do each of you need personal accounts? I thought you two would have been joined as one?

WORDS FROM A FATHER TO A SON ABOUT MARRIAGE, just came across it,and wish to share with u.

1. My son, if you keep spending on a woman and she never asked you if you’re saving or investing, and she keeps enjoying the attention, don’t marry her.
2. My son, a woman could be a good wife to you, some could be a good mother to your children but if you’ve found a woman like a mother to you, your children and your family, please don’t let her go.
3. My son, don’t confine the position of your wife to the kitchen, where did you get that from? Even in our days, we had farm-lands where they worked every morning . . . that was our office.
4. My son, if I tell you that you’re the head of the house, don’t look at your pocket; look if you will see a smile on your wife’s face.
5. My son, if you want to have a long life, let your wife be in-charge of your salary, it will be difficult for her to spend it when she’s aware of the home needs and bills to pay but if it’s in your care, she will keep you asking even when all has been spent.
6. My son, don’t ever beat your woman, the pain in her body is nothing to be compared to the wound on her heart and that means you may be in trouble living with a wounded woman.
7. My son, now that you’re married, if you live a bachelor kind of life with your wife, you will soon be single again.
8. My son, in our days, we had many wives and many children because of our large farm-lands and many harvests, there are hardly any land for farming anymore, so embrace your woman closely.
9. My son, under the cocoa tree that I did meet your mother could be your eateries and restaurants of nowadays, but remember, the closet thing we did there was to embrace each other.
10. My son, don’t be carried away when you start making more money, instead of spending on those tiny legs that never knew how hard you worked to get it, spend it on that woman that stood by you all along.
11. My son, when I threw little stones or whistled at the window of your mother father’s house, to call her out, it was not for sex, it was because I missed her so much.
12. My son, remember, when you say your wife has changed, there could be something you’ve stopped doing too.
13. My son, your mother, Asake rode the bicycle with me before I bought that tortoise car outside there, any woman that won’t endure with you in your little beginning should not enjoy your riches.
14. My son, don’t compare your wife to any woman, there are ways she’s enduring you too and has she ever compared you to any man?
15. My son, there is this thing you people call feminism, well, if a woman claim to have equal right with you in the house, divide all the bills into two equal parts, take one part and ask her to start paying the other part.
16. My son, I met your mother a virgin and I took more yams to her father, if you don’t meet your wife a virgin, don’t blame her, what I didn’t tell you is that our women had prestige.
17. My son, I didn’t send your sisters to school because I was foolish like many to think a female child won’t extend my family name, please don’t make that mistake, the kind of female achievers I see nowadays has made the male-gender an ordinary tag.
18. My son, your mother have once locked up the cloth I was wearing and almost tore it because she was angry, I did not raise my hand to beat her because of a day like this, so that I can be proud to tell you that I never for once beat your mother.
19. My son, in our days, our women had more of natural beauty, though I wouldn’t lie to you, some had minor painting of their appellation mostly on their arms, the ones you people now call tattoo, but don’t forget that they didn’t expose any part of their body like your women of nowadays.
20. My son, your mother and I are not interested in what happens in your marriage, try to handle issues without always coming to us.
21. My son, remember I bought your mother’s first sewing machine for her, help your wife achieve her dreams just as you’re pursuing yours.
22. My son, don’t stop taking care of me and your mother, it’s a secret of growing old and having children to take care of you too.
23. My son, pray with your family, there is a tomorrow you don’t know, talk to God that knows everything, everyday.

CAPITAL NO!!!!

CHAI!!

O, thank God I'm not of this world

abike12:
Ideally , both members of a household should be aware of the household income so as to adjust expectations, make plans and for budgeting purposes. Some marriages work well in less than ideal situations. Personally, I would need to know to before marriage (he will also know mine) and also because in this system you can't run a household or file taxes without that information.

Where in Nigeria are you filing taxes?

Awww....sho shweet! You have such a good heart. So can I place an order for the Ferrari now, honey? The Lamborghini is feeling kinda lonely. We need to lift his spirits. I know you don't like seeing sadness. Oh! No, no, no...don't cry for the Lambo, he wont be sad for much longer - as long as he gets a companion ASAP. So should I withdraw your life-savings and splash it on a Ferrari? Awww....thanks sweet. You're an angel.

All these things depends on the type of woman u marry. if you marry a woman who has generous affinity for luxury, artificial beauty, pleasure seeking and a flair for shopping and u tell her the exact amount u earn then my brother u are finished.

but if she is a wise and prudent type, my brother make her ur account officer and in 10 years time come back here and outline ur achievements.
