Questions For Married Men by maclatunji: 10:30am On Nov 26, 2012
1. Do you agree that you are the head/leader of your home?

2. Do you accept that you are primarily responsible for financing the provision of the basic needs (food, clothing & shelter)of your wife/kids?

3. Do you accept that you have a duty to do everything in your power to ensure the general well-being of your wife/kids?

4. How would you want your wife to react if you answered in the affirmative to questions 1-3 but find that you cannot meet-up with these obligations after genuinely putting-in your best effort?

5. Do you find it easy to acknowledge when you are wrong or have done wrong? How do you apologise?

To avoid derailing, I suggest that single men (and women) have a look at this thread https://www.nairaland.com/1090291/problems-marriage-need-talk, it has some questions you might find interesting enough for you to answer.

Thank you.

maclatunji: 1. Do you agree that you are the head/leader of your home?

yeah - i have been the head right from when the relationship started. as the man, i take charge!


2. Do you accept that you are primarily responsible for financing the provision of the basic needs (food, clothing & shelter)of your wife/kids?

yeah - i accept!


3. Do you accept that you have a duty to do everything in your power to ensure the general well-being of your wife/kids?

yeah - that's the essence of my manhood!
everything in my power must be done to provide for my wife and kids!


4. How would you want your wife to react if you answered in the affirmative to questions 1-3 but find that you cannot meet-up with these obligations after genuinely putting-in your best effort?

she should sit me down and offer her best support - she should understand and trust me completely that i am doing my very best to change the situation....she should also remember when the going was good - i never held back! in a nutshell, understanding one's partner is the key!


5. Do you find it easy to acknowledge when you are wrong or have done wrong? How do you apologise?

i am not ashamed to say sorry to my spouse when i do wrong - it effectively puts out unnecessary arguments - my spouse is also peace-loving, the apologies are promptly accepted and it's all good in the hood!

Re: Questions For Married Men by LongOne1(m): 12:29pm On Nov 26, 2012
I am not married yet, but is the OP too? My answers would be:

1, Yes, and the full time captain of her ship 24-7-365.

2, Yes.

3, Yes.

4, What can I say? Life is hard, besides, it is not a democracy, and if it is, Jonathan has not kept up to his promises, talk less of ‘poor’ me. grin grin grin
On a more serious note, this is when I need her support/understanding more than ever, so it does not affect my male ego resulting in that ‘I’m useless’ feeling.

5, Yes. In this context, apologising would be doing something she really likes, then giving her mind-blowing, make-up ... (use your imagination).

@ OP, My answer to the questions is YES, and i try the best way i can to apologize to my wify whenever i go wrong, however, the problem with some marriages is that the woman will do silly things out of curiosity and suspicion to change her husband, in the end they complain he is not the man she married.

Re: Questions For Married Men by RudySmith(m): 1:18pm On Nov 26, 2012
@Poster
these questions should b directed at the wives of all the people who replied, and not them. The hypocrisy of men is very apparent while going through this tread. As 4 ur questions:

1. The leadership of a home is only true and valid if it is handed 2 men by women. Any leadership that is taken by force or fear is worthless.

2. Marriage is a union of 2 able bodied adults, who should do their best 2 provide the best 4 their family, so it is the responsibility of both of them 2 provide food clothing and shelter 2 the family.

3. They both have a duty 2 do everything in their power 2 ensure the general well being of the family. There will b something very wrong if a wife could raise the family standard but doesn't do it bcuz she doesn't believe it is her duty or bcuz hubby's ego is in the way.

4. If any person answered yes 2 all the above questions then they should b divorced the minute they cannot provide what they supposedly claim is their duty. Men should stand by their words or shut the hell up.

5. *I am sorry I was wrong* is a simple way 2 apologize, so long as the person means what they are saying.
Thank you.

1. Yes
2. Yes but No. For example, I take care of long term issues and big ticket items, while her salary takes care of daily/monthly feeding.
3. Yes. That is what it means to be a father/husband
4. Help me, assist is any way she could. after that, all we can do is commit it into God's hands
5. I lead by example so I try apologize when I know I was wrong.

I want men to think about the issues the questions bring-up and answer them. Not what their wives think- no matter what the wives think, it is what the men think, say and do that is important for learning on this thread.
Re: Questions For Married Men by RudySmith(m): 2:15pm On Nov 26, 2012
^^^^What u wrote is very bias, because marriage is not about men only. There can b no peace in marriage thinking the way u do. Open ur mind and let's involve women in such matters!

Coming from someone who wrote that he is never wrong, and even when he is, he is still right, I have 2 ask who is the adolescent here, LWKMD.
Let me guess, u r.ape ur wife whenever she denies u of sex? Oh no, even better, U beat the crap out of her if she disagree with ur conceited self?
We all know ur type, u smell foul from a mile down the road with ur stu.pid way of thinking.
