Except you are getting married to a very materialistic woman that has chosen not to work, or a woman that is not content, I see no reason why she shouldn't know how much you earn. You people keep hiding things from your wives when things goes south, you will say she cannot support or doesn't understand you.

Why are you married to someone you can't tell stuffs you can't tell other people The answer is Yes.

Naso see finish take dey start.. African men has sold there pride to pussy. Like literally who does that.

Look, if you feel you need to hide a part of yourself from your partner in order to receive what you think is love in return, what you are involved in is a covert-mission type of marriage and not a marriage based on what is real love.

If a woman no like you after she sees you finish, she never really loved you to begin with. So, do you want to be loved in marriage, or do you want to manage a covert operation in the name of marriage instead? You decide what you are worth.

on a contrary...not all women tho
My husband tells me everything, his earning, his savings, I don't demand or impose anything on him, I know his atms pins and there was a time he had issues with his account all this money was in my account..when he rectified his account I returned his money..
If your woman likes material things den its not safe letting her know but if she's not then I don't think there's anything wrong with that.

You are one in a thousand or million even

MrChriz:
I have heard some of my married colleagues saying that it's not adiseable for a man to tell his wife how much he earns while some other married colleagues said there is nothing wrong with that..I know this platform has a lot of wise people, I want a general opinion especially from married couple on this. I have plans of settling down next year,

Please mod help a brother and move this to front page.

Well it depends on the understanding you have with your wife

If she is the good type and has always been willing and ready to assist you, then you both have to be open to each other

If she is the type that demands too much yet doesn't make any contributions to the family upkeep

Then there is no need for you to inform her

Perception is oftentimes reality. Once your full financial worth is known, sizing you up and automatically knowing your financial limitations is certain, and that is bad for any man (married or not).
A little bit of mystery and surprises spices up any relationship. When your total earnings is known, there can be no surprises.
NB: women love surprises ��

Rule of thumb; tell her 60% of what you earn.

why?

For you to enjoy a long lasting marriage filled with trust with your wife,you have to lay yourself open and bare.whether she is materialistic or not,as soon she knows that you're open to her,then you've won her trust.women like a man they can trust. Then she's ready to co-operate with you to build the home.give her the pay cheque and set your boundaries,give to her,her share for up keep,let her know your savings and your future plans,like acquiring a land/building a house.put her in the picture.i bet you,she will work with you.she may be willing to support you,because she knows you have something upstairs,but,if she put in the dark,about your finances,she will making unrealistic demands and maybe,living extravagantly.I am saying all these from experience..
