How Couples Should Share Financial Responsibilities In The Home.

1. Housing: This is the place that house the family, it is also the Genesis of every couple an abode to everyone.

Husband - Rent: I believe it is proper for him to pay the rent as the man, the cheapest amount of rent available now is around N70,000 anually for a Room &
palour.

Wife - Feeding: women have always been senonimous to the kitchen, so i think its ok if the woman meets with the feeding unlike the traditional mentality that the husband should pay for everything, cost in feeding the family should range between
N15,000 - N30,000 monthly.

2. Childrens Education: Learning is light, knowledge is power, every child needs to be educated.

Husband - School fees:
The childrens school fees should be payed by the husband while the wife takes care of all other things that meets the needs to
complete the childrens education.

Wife - Others: Uniform, Textbooks, Pencils, e.t.c should be taken care of by the wife.

3. Living room: When it comes to
decorating and making the home lively the bills still needs to be shared between couples to create mutual respect.

Husband - Electronics set: these are the TVs, Sound system, Cable TV e.t.c, all these would amount in tens of thousands.

Wife - Furniture: The furniture should be bought by the wife, the cheapest available is around N40,000 - N60,000 for seats and
N10,000 for the Tv shelf.

4. Bed Room: the room also should be a joint venture to create a Harmonious feeling all the time.

Husband - Bed: this is the Matrass & its furniture.

Wife - Bed sheets & other: The bed sheets should be bought by the wife to add a females touch to the whole origin of the Bed, others include the face mirror, towels, curtains, walldrope e.t.c.

5. Kitchen: World wide it has been custom for the woman to rule the kitchen but in some cases she can't even point to a thing she has bought with her own money and in some few cases the woman buys it all when it comes to the kitchen, but i believe for a couple to last long in love they need to do things together at all times, sharing the bills is a wonderful idea.

Husband - Kitchen Electrical appliances: We have the Oven, Microwave, Cooker, Dish washer e.t.c.

Wife - Others: these are the Plates,
cutleries, Liquid soap, gas/kerosine, e.t.c.

6. Toilet & Bathroom: I guess you would be wondering why toilet is on the list but i know you would agree its part of the home and the home expenses, its also an oppotunity to take part in something together financially in the home.

Husband - Electrical appliances: Washinhg machine, Water heater/Hot & Cold Water system, e.t.c.

Wife - Others: These consist of Bathing soaps, Laundry soaps, Air freshners, e.t.c.

7. Communications: Now this has become very important in the society today, we cant but wish to communicate in a day with our loved ones so its a necesity.

Husband - Gadgets: yeah we all know its lovely if your husband bought you the Phone & Laptop you are using, wont you agree. So let the man buy the gadgets.

Wife - Others: if your husband could buy you a phone i think its romantic if you pay for his Data bundle and recharge his call credit wouldn't you agree, so you pay for that, but with men with so much ego this may not work, i mean waiting for your wife before you can recharge your phone, men! Your friends would not understand that if heard, so it could be scraped but i think its Romantic 'my opinion'.

8. Car: Every family needs one, it aides transportation.

Husband - Purchase: yeah right let him buy it as usual but you need to take care of some other things related to the car to get your respect from him.

Wife - Fueling & Maintainance: here it is, to get all the respect you deserve, you have to contribute or share the cost one way or the other, so paying for Gas and Maintainance of the car is the best idea, now you dont want to get the 'its my car' statament whenever you need it, would you ?

9. Clothings: Very important has it is, couples needs to share the Bill on this one also to maintain the mutual respect they both deserve from eachother.

Husband - Wears: everything that has to do with the body from the hair tips to the ankles, for the whole family.

Wife - Shoes & others: just as it is said, the wife should pay for all foot wears including stuff like soxs, bags, e.t.c for the whole family especially for the children.

10. Power: This means electricity
generation.

Husband - Generator set & Maintainance: in a country like Nigeria such a device is very important in every home and it should be purchased and maintained by the husband.

Wife - Fueling & Light bills: to contribute to Power the wife should pay the Light Bills and pay for the Fueling of the Gen.

Sharing the Bills in every department of the Home between the Husband & Wife would deffinately increase Love and mutual respect between couples who practises it.

Wishing you all a Happy Home.

Thank you.

Thats African mentality Bro, African mentality. So what you are saying is you want a woman to use all her salary to buy Ice-cream, biscuit, sweets e.t.c for the Kids so after 2 - 4 year after marriage her husband should send her packing with nothing but just her laugage ?
Man, all those sweet stuf kids eat will all end up in the Toilet as poo, a Lady should be taught how to invest in her family, imagine her countributing in everything in the house, it wont be easy for her husband to send her packing just like that, the era of ''husband should do all'' has ended, its the reason why our women are not acknowledge in the society.

Large percentage of Nigeria wives are housewives so OP where such wives wan get money from?

I'll quote you alright...
The typical nigerian man doesnt help around the house.. Why will i share bills with such a husband? But if he's outstanding and helps around the house, i'll be outstanding and help with the bills.

offspec:

those are the lazy ones who love watching African Magic & The Kadeshians and gossip a lot and are not ready to get on their butt to do anything useful those are not wives they are liabilities, who would still expect their Husband to come home and cook his own meal, am talking about wives who know there values and would do anything to earn their respect, for the serious ones even when they are full housewives the will make sure have investments like SuperMarket, investing in their younger ones, Transportation e.t.c that would give them financial freedom.

Good practise what have posted and see him helping out with the chores, like seriously if you can't share the Bills because you feel he is not helping out with the chores how do you want him too to share the work load if he is foot all the Bills, Think about it

Dont get me wrong am not advocating guys to stop footing the Bills 'am not even a guy like that Honestly' but i believe a wife that supports earns more respect from her husband a lot than the ones that dont, you shouldn't be expecting him to tell you or to be asking for it, its your civic dutie has his partner and he would also play is own part in the chores too. trust me it works.

May God never allow me fall into a situation where I would have need to share my home financial obligation with my wife . This however , does not mean that I would not accept my wife's generous contribution toward running the expenses of the home , no . In a nutshell , she will always be taking care of the home feed needs albeit indirectly , since it will be through the profit/salary she would be earning from one of my company under her direct management that she will be using to cater for such needs .

I am a good manager of both human and financial resources , but I hate to find myself in position of managing daily living essentials . I am a hard and smart working person , but I hate to work under non conducive environment . I abhor poverty but I am not materialistic .
