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

TheArchangel:
OK. Noted.
Moving on to the next thread......

oloyede252:
sequence to this thread " Do You Think Married Women Should Tender Their Salaries To Their Husbands?.many females are of the opinion that husband's have No business with their wife salaries, which now beg the question "Do You Think Married men should tell their wife how much they earn"

hectorswag:
What if I'm a business man with multiple streams of income and my monthly earnings isn't a fixed amount and with high and low margins?

She will tire to find out

I can never allow any woman, wife or not to see me finish like that

nurseafrica:

May your future husband de house de do child care For You . Professionally.

fav444:
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.

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.

jaybee3:


I know how much she earns
I have access to her accounts
She has dedicated financial responsibilities
I don't question what she does with her money but that's probably because she is good with money

What else do you want to know?

ammyluv2002:
Of course! The husband/wife has every right to know

zicoraads:

It's the other way round. If she knows everything that comes into your account.

luminouz:

So, you're one of 'em?

Yes if she,s industrious, progress and intelligent.NO if she is lazy,parasitic and retrogressive.

What the heck would make you marry someone like that?

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.

Wake up at night to carry crying baby as often as your wife does it, bathe and dress kids, clean and change diaper, prepare pap/baby formula to feed since you can't breastfeed, play with them when they are crying of boredom, take them to hospital when they are ill, take them to school and bring them back when they close from school, assist them with homework, teach them how to handle bullies, teach them how to do housework to help out at home, discipline them properly when they misbehave etc

Furthermore, in the UK, most people can have a rough idea and good guestimate of what others earn - that is if you are an employee and do normal jobs not a merchant banker, or work for a multi-nationals or at the very high level in the entertainment/media industry.

For me, it is not about how much the spouses earn but how much investment and personal savings and assets they have - and their liabilities/debts should also be factored in.

I do not think it is necessary to fully disclose everything - being married does not stop the person being an individual and being an individual and does help (sometimes) in terms of financial management. Again, it could be negative - as the other half might be buried in debt without disclosure. I am very good with money and I do trust myself to invest in the future of myself and family. Full disclosure might help especially with folks wanting this and that and the other half might want to splash out on this or that..

Why should a woman or man submit his or her salary or wages in a marriage - this is why a joint account comes in: the contribution ratio depends on individual circumstances - the wife might earn more than the man or the income of one or both might vary if they are business people or freelance.

Akposb:
Seriously questions like this make one wonder what sort of expectations that people of this present age have on entering marriage. Salary on any ground shouldn't be a secret. Any attempt to make it so could be a recipe for trust issues. Marry someone you can call a companion so that you don't have to consider such issue like this as an option.
