This article was hilarious to me.

An ideal wife .. ...will by her husband even in very difficult times...when He is not sure of what will happen tomorrow.

I think the media has created this Unpleasant, difficult, often-educated-and-earning-a-lot-of-Money monster of a woman & wife in Kenya.

If she is not a nagging, annoying, disrespectful wife, she is a gold digger.. And now i see they have given her the new tag- Kenyan wife..

Whereas i agree there are more independent females than there has ever been in the history of Kenya, these are really the exception rather than the norm! At least in my world.

The media needs to go out there and meet the bigger group. People like @Wendz.. etc.

These stories are now very tired..

:
Eti the opposite of an ideal wife is a Kenyan wife.LMAO!

This is a fundamental characteristic of the mass media that many people never seem to grasp: When a dog bites a man, that's not news; but when a man bites a dog, we have a headline story.

In short, the things that you get in the news are of necessity the exception; not the rule!

If you read about an "independent woman" giving her husband a hard time; then you must first appreciate that she is the exception and not the rule. If it was the norm, then it wouldn't make the news...just like a dog biting a man!

The great majority of women (independent or not) are not like that. They support their husbands through thick and thin.

Similarly, when you read about husbands cheating on their wives, make a mental note that this is the exception and not the rule. It was the norm, then it wouldn't be news!

Hadnt read that, and hey I love my wife, and I would marry her again and I'll keep on praying for her, maybe she becomes "kenyan wife" kidogo but then especially (The kenyan wife shouts questions and instructions to the house help from the living room)

again mimi ni...?

We are being finished!!!!

In the days of King Solomon women did not have to hold down tough and stressful corporate jobs, or navigate a man's world to keep their bank teller position! Neither did the family require them to help support the household financially. There is absolutely NO comparison!! Your article is therefore total trash, the type that the Daily Nation should never print given it's sophisticated readership! And if you do really teach about marriage, you should go main stream--the Amish are not a good example for the rest of the world!!!

Ms Kenya, I've always known I married a gem. After I read that article (actually I sent it to her) I realized how fortunate I am. And yes, the Nairobi/ sophisticated woman is an exception. Most of the guys I know have good women. Unfortunately, they ( women) are always being bombarded by the news-makers to the extent they feel they are the exception and we have to keep telling them they are who we want!

We are not interested in the loud, smoking,drunk,anorhexic looking, what-a-man-can- do -i-can -do better, nag type of woman. Those have their place in society and that place is not in my house!
