It depends on your kind of wife, most Nigerian women (not all ) have a wide range of wants they considered needs, if for instance you are married to a woman that when ever she is aware you have money what comes to her mind is spending such women will never allow you to do proper planning and investment. It is important u dont do a joint account with herelse u will be blamed for not planning for the future of your family.
Few Nigerian women in our generation can help you to plan for the future, if you are lucky to get such as a wife you can even decide to save all your salarues in her account.
I personally fall in the first category of men with such women, as a friend would say "we dont have women like our mothers again".

AlmiqhteeAllah:
Some "feminists" want to have their cake and eat it at the same time!

They want to be "independent" when it suits them, and dependent when it's to their own benefit.

These set of female baboons do not give 2 shiits about values, principles and morality as they would want to have you believe. They're animalistic idiots that are after nothing but their nakked self-interest, and we do whatever they find convenient to achieve that end, no matter how contradictory, paradoxical and hypocritical.
I agree. How can one be married and use the word " independent " under any circumstance. Some people are a product of their flawed upbringing and terrible grooming. When they start visiting saloons and start sharing the gist that demons from hell supply them there, they start developing crazy concepts that ends up putting them to misery

May God direct our paths to women that will give us peace of mind... Their selfishness is just something else, my money , my money. They should keep their money and let my brothers be plz

Nope. Don't generalise. There are good women out there. If you know she doesnt trust you with finances and u still went ahead and married her, then thats ur fault and u have no right to complain

It depends on the guy, my kind of person, even if wifey is aware that i have a lot in my(enough to spend lavishly, by her own calculation) account. I still wouldn't bulge to her pressure, unless is worth it.

Some women use sex to get there husband to do there bidding. It won't work with me.

Why would I keep money for myself when there are needs in the house and my husband can not provide them alone?
If we are both working, it should be for the good of all in the family. You don't look away when the children are out from school or when you need to pay some bills in the house simply because you are wife knowing fully well that your husband can't do all that alone.
You don't need to have a joint account to do this. You just need to understand what family means. It's not a one man business. The man should also be able to share in other chores when the wife can't and not wait for the wife while things go wrong in the house.

It should work both ways
It's our money, either mine or his.Joint account i see no issue with it if you trust your partner, we're just saving for the rainy day.
Joint account equal joint signature.
You can't have access to the money without my signature, same with me not having access without your signature...One just need to have an understanding partner and money won't be a biggie.
my dear ask older couples especially the women I guess you will never want to operate a joint account when married especially if you marry a wicked and cunning man. my grandfather warned against it.

As long as marriage institution is concerned, men will always be the breadwinner... It's his responsibity to provide for the household, why his wife assist in any little way she can. Unless you decide never to go into such institution, then you can start thinking of sharing responsibility 50/50.
It depends on the understanding and maturity of the couple.

I guess the husband of the richest woman in Africa is also the bread winner.
Make no mistake, the man or woman can earn higher than the other. In my social circle more women are now earning higher than their husbands.

Too long to explain haha. If you have time watch Chimamanda's videos on feminism, or read her book on "we should all be feminists" or her excerpt on "How to raise your daughter a feminist". She explains it so well and only someone suffering fron weird issues would disagree with her points.

If a man is open in his marriage, I don't see how finance will be a big issue between him & his wife...except the wife is only being demonic
At times the demonic behaviour of the wife is caused by her family

A husband that depends on his wife's money is a disgrace to men

My money is mine alone and I can only decide to give him if he asks

Besides isn't he suppose to be the head of the familyhuh
His money is ours.
That goes to show what is priority to you as a partner and wife.
Money-controlled!

I know it can go wrong, or things might go bad...
But with an understanding spouse , i think it can be possible and there won't be any stress...
Money can cause a big misunderstanding in the house,but not withstanding I'll love to take the risk, that's of course if i know my partner is not a careless type when it comes to money.

When there is true love, money won't mean shiiiiiii, but the problem is when y'all fall in love for the wrong reasons, Many ladies see marriage as a means of getting away from their pathetic father's house into affluence, And many guys just want a pound of pretty flesh to procreate with, It's all messed up, I'm gonna be like Don Jazzy mehn.
Re: Should A Wife's Money Be '' Hers '' , While The Husband's Money Be " Ours " ? by Nobody: 7:55am On Oct 04, 2017
It depends on the couple and their earnings. It's ideal that whoever earns more, should contribute more.

Some families are very traditional, some are modern. Whichever works for you, stick to it.

The Islamic view on women? The most grotesque form of sexism and misogyny under the sun, you mean? Are you a Muslim?

You still haven't answered my question: Is that what you think of your mom, sister(s), and, in fact, all the females in your family?
