Lets be specific here must a wife know how much her hubby earns monthly?

I don't see any big deal in that,for goodness sake how do people marry who theY can't trust with the knowledge of their income??

Not knowing a man's income is one of the major reasons why some women don't know when to demand.why won't she ask you for Brazillian if you keep strouting around in the house like Mr money in the bank.

Now,if I know my hubby earns 15k per month,Won't I use napkins instead of disposable diapers for the kids?Won't I prepare Ogbono soup instead of ofe Owerri??Won't I make rolling and setting instead of Rihanna's hair style?When a woman doesn't know your worth because you won't divulge,don't be pissed when she comes demanding what you can't afford.It takes an extremely fool*sh wife to demand for things she knows her man can't afford.For me,she has a right to know,just as you have a right to know hers as well.

Abeg all these couples hiding one thing or the other is something am not familiar with joor.

....and if she know he earns 500k per month, won't she rather stick to human hair than use those ordinary useless attachements. Won't she prefer to eat in a chinese "restorant" three times a day with her hubby instead of making meals at home?

On a general note, it depends on the couple involved. If i know it is one of the weaknesses of my spouse to mis-manage money and spend recklessly on things not needed, i won't want to lead her into temptation by disclosing how much comes into my coffers in the month (for family peace, safety, sanity and security)

You don't expect the bank manager's wife to dress the same as the truckpusher's wife, do you?

No i don't. But i don't think you got the point i made. The key words are moderation, good management, and proper placement of priorities.

To answer your question....YES!!!

Yes! Yes!! Yes!!!. A woman needs to know what her hubby earns so she doesn't make unnecessary demands. Also so that she can help build the home

No two spouses are alike, no two marriages the same.
Know and test your spouse in some small things and decide wat to do in the bigger ones. What you can't do in 10 yrs from now, don't start today

Sorry you had it bad but the demands you complain of,wasn't it really spent on your kids??

Yes since u re one now.

If I don't know who will? His concubines or his mother? answer me.

jennykadry: If I don't know who will? His concubines or his mother? answer me.

can u declare your earnings to your husband?

Morgan1092: Lets be specific here must a wife know how much her hubby earns monthly?

what if both couples are either lesbians or gays

@harpesin,i just hope your wife is not suffering because you want to live your life again as a bachelor.
She is spending the money on the kids according to you, i know how it is cos i've been there. It is never enough especially for one's kids, you sacrifice.
Unless she mis-manages, then.....

Hey! I gat no answer 2dis ur question cos am no gay. Mayb u shld knw beta.

Of course. Infact I see my husbands payslip and he sees mine, its no big deal. We plan and budget for the household together.

Abi ooo

Good for you. But like i submitted earlier, its not a hard and fast rule. One man's meat is another man's dog. Its a "good to have if possible" but do not enforce it on any one. You know how to manage funds, so you can plan with your husband. What happens to those wives that don't know how to manage funds and can't plan with their husbands (and also dont have control over spending habits)?

Morgan1092: Thanks a big time, i hope u re stil enjoyn ur marriage?
