Spend 40% on your self 50% on your children and 10% on your wife.
Las las they will still compare you with another man doing well if you arent doing well.

Some men ask their wives to become full-time housewives after marriage. However, if you are not interested in being a full-time housewife, it is important to emphasize this to your partner before marriage. This is one of the factors that create problems in a marriage.
Yes. If .if na Dangote be my husband

If I was a woman, no.

The harsh fact is, one needs a two income house hold to run a family in this APC economy, and the same thing holds true even if we were a developed first world country

Even those women who look like housewives, search closely and they are running some sort of business from their house or even working from home. When husband's take home pay is scanty...

Housewife things works if the husband is earning enough income(like in millions of naira monthly) or is stinkingly rich. Anyone else who thinks his wife should be housewife is living in fantasyland. Y'all would be living hand to mouth in minutes.

Only archaic men with lowest of the lowest self-esteem imprison their wives under the guise of housewifehood.

Women are not dullards or nonentities. They have parts to play in every functional society. A real woman has to make some money for herself too.

Being a housewife means you're only useful to your husby as a copulation machine and a babies-producing device. Zero contribution to a functional society. That's bad bad.
You think being an housewife is being useless. This is one of the self harm we do to ourselves. undecided

Even if she doesn't want to, there is nothing wrong with a man wanting his wife to be a full-time housewife as long as he is able to provide whatever is required for the family's maintenance. However, these things should be discussed before getting married; otherwise, what is the point of courting?

If anything, he didn't make it clear from the beginning, even when he was broke, what he desired in a woman. And after he made his intentions towards you and became aggressive and demanding to you about it, to me, that kind of screams neediness, which is a red flag. I don't believe that only one person is God's will for anyone to marry. But I won't criticize him for his preferences in a woman.



Naturally, dissenting opinions are always welcome. I didn't say a woman shouldn't use her potential, but if it takes precedence over the requirements of her family, that potential has to be considered. Women who are focused on their careers often make references to Deborah in the Bible. Although I haven't personally studied Deborah's character, I can say that just because something is the exception to the rule doesn't mean it always is. Additionally, Israel was experiencing God's judgment during Deborah's rule, which should tell you something.
Even though the apostle Peter cited Sarah as an example of a woman for leading a godly life in 1 Peter 3, I don't understand why modern women no longer utilize her as a case study.

And if you claim to be able to strike a balance between the two, please explain how you achieve it without sacrificing either your career or your family. One must unquestionably come before the other, and in my view, this means that women should prioritize their families, putting their husbands and kids first.
There are several options in the Bible, Sarah is not the only good woman in the Bible. We are feel to select our preference. I don't even accept the concept of God's will concerning marriage again; God does not force His will on us.

99 percent of women would grab this opportunity if the husband is very wealthy even the educated ones..its imprinted in the feminine dna to enjoy soft life. Thats why our women are becoming masculined gradually loosing what it takes to be a woman cos of them wanting to do things like men but it doesn't end well as it tells on their body..physiological clock...looks ...name it. Some it's not their fault others just want tobe dragging position with men.

Housewives can be fulfilled if that's their desires. They can also contribute to societal development if that affords them the time to worthily train their kids to be responsible.

Being a house wife is a full time job with high level of emotional intelligence. Depraved women with very low moral dexterity cannot understand that. The best way women contribute to a functional society is nursing a home because they own it. Lazy women with high level of selfish desires can never be housewives. It is the reason they hide under the cooperate ladder and the likes. It's so sad our generation is skewed backwards. Homes are a wreck, woman abuse womanhood and despise the most important assignments. Still wondering why there are more prost!tutes than wives?

Agreed, but show me a good woman in the bible that wasn't family-oriented. Be careful what the media wants to impose on you.

Not necessarily dear.
If it is the woman's free choice to be a full time house wife, it is a full duty and she should be respected.

I only frown at a full time house wife that is :
1. A wife that was compelled by her husband to stay home against her wish
2. A wife that is compelled to be full time house wife either for lack of skill or laziness


A full time housewives duty is a HARD low paying job with undivided attention focused on raising excellent and highly successful children!


Any woman with SKILL whose husband is comfortable and has in store for her passive income sources is encouraged to be a full time wife

Re: Can You Be A Full-time Housewife? by Nobody: 1:16pm On Jul 16, 2023
Why not? I have been attending school for over 20 years,I am tired. I need rest.

The question is ,what type of house wife?

A. To take care of kids and watch over the house. Wait for oga to bring money for house and climb you at night.

B. Housewife of a rich man. You wake up,direct the domestic staff on what to do. They performed all the choices. You go on outings,see movies and social activities during the day. You bond and play with your kids. Read them bed time stories. Pray with them. Wait for oga to return. Welcome him your warmth and care. Kneel to serve him the dinner you made and fufil your duties in the oda room.

I like plan B, not plan A

This is a very funny post.

How can you say zero contribution to a functional society?
Wait I don't understand, you want her to join those building high rising building, building Bridges or what exactly do you mean by not contributing to the functional society?

Who are those who make up the society,is it not you,me and others? Are they not birthed and trained mostly by women? Training a child and making sure he/she is embibe with the best moral education, good self esteem etc to help develop the so called functional society is also a job.

Being a house wife is not a criminal offence,if women have their chance and don't think about the husband misbehaving and all that ,and if he is well to do, trust me they'd prefer to be a house wife.

So making it look like it's a crime to be a house wife, if a woman want to work, fine,if she doesn't or the husband is capable enough,so be it.

Stop making it look like a house wife is not contributing anything to the society, trust me she is.
