greatgod2012: It starts from the foundation, from those saying if their wives know what they are earning, their wives would start making unneessary demands, does that mean you dont know or trust what your wife can do , why did you marry a woman you cant be opened to? Why did you marry a woman that is not prudent? If your wife see this your comment, will she be happy with you.
A wise man builds his house on a rock, while the fools do not. Most things that you men do is part of why your wives may be behaving the way they do. If you decide not to let your wife know how much you earn, and your wife also decide such, how will you describe your marriage. To me personally, being completely opened to each other will save you a lot of stress and accrue so many advantages to you and doing otherwise certainly means you people are not in total unity. A wise man will even make his wife the custodian of his money, (that is if they aint operating joing account and joint spending), so that, the wife will already know the capacity and financial capability of the man, thus, preventing unnecessary demands.


However, to we ladies, please, let our impact be felt at home, let's put ourselves in the situation where our husbands will trust us, making unnecessary demands when we know that our men are financially bouyant will not let them trust us, and asking a full grown up man what he used his money for when our demands are not meant is completely unnecessary. Money is one of the major causes of conflict in a marriage, and if it is handled very well, it can be one of the causes of joy in a marriage. You work, i work, no one should be a burden on anyone, my opinion, please.
May God help us all.

teeyy: Of course, I know how much my husband collects, I know the date its being paid, we both invest and plan around it, why should he hide anything from me, I even encourage him 2 invest, a good wife would be interested in the progress of his husband and the family, I don't see anything bad in showing ur wife ur payslip.

I'm his financial assistant

Efemena_xy: When the man (who incidentally is meant to be the head of his household), chooses to walk the path of lies and deceit by hiding his true earnings from his wife, he too shouldn't complain if she decides to do likewise...or start stashing away for a rainy day.

He shouldn't complain if she secretly builds a house behind his back because he's already built the foundation of their union on secrecy, lies and deceit. It works both ways.

yellowpawpaw: Pple that don't know what d definition of marriage is.
I hope the wife will disclose how much she is earning to u too or wouldn't u want her to.
State ur reasons if u don't want her to disclose her income to u and
Will she still disclose it if she earns higher than u?

chaircover: Lol at the comments

If you marry the right woman, her knowing your actual worth is actually a good thing. She knows what not to ask for and she spends within your budget. She also knows where she can come in to help financially

It promotes unity between a couple and she feels more secure within the relationship which too has its own advantages and you are both reading from the same page.

God may I always be an asset and not a hindrance to my husband. Amen

Polio: Never disclosed that to my wife ... Did disclose the pay package when i interviewed for my current job but since then i have had 3 pay rises so she doesn't know what i earn now and i don't need to say anything ... Everyone is happy

Chillisauce: Not only know how much. Also signatory to the account. Everything 50-50.
The Lord is good !

faakay:

What? :O

I believe a woman start knowing ur total income she start getting greedy

Chillisauce:

You believe. So what happens when she earns more than you, will u become greedy?

Chillisauce: ^^^ Less demand from you or her? I'm sure you meant from you

Baby mama: I know the salary at the start of the job but I don't keep up with the raises or promotions as the years gone by
I have too much to deal with than bother to know exactly what he earns
He does some work on the side and makes small change here and there,how will I know his total income
I have a general idea sha
This is no big deal
As long as we are taken care of,what's my own
It's when I see the tax papers at the end of the tax year that I know exactly what we made for the year

faakay:

I don't support u on this 1
