Whether a woman earns more or not. A MAN should provide for his family.


I'm sure you mean a man should provide direction and vision as the head? Surely, we cannot go hungry when times are tough and you have a load saved up.Man up chief. Depending on a woman month in month out is mannerless moreso for an african man. Only touch a woman's money when you have an emergency and not MONTHLY emergencies

I also think we should balance out expenses, of course the man should always take up the rent.Man should pay rent/buy hse, cater for your ladies(wife+daughters+MK) saloon and other expenses, buy food, shopping, pay fees and fuel the car for her.You shouldn't even check what she earns

What do you think, who should foot what supposing we're earning the same and you want your marriage to last? She should only foot for her househelp salary, kitchenwares(na mathogothanio ingine yote ya kurembesha nyumba)extended relatives expenses,family gifts and her drinks when she goes out with the ladies


For peace of your mind, don't touch a woman's money especially taking her money do for use on capital expenditure.




So, let's say I provide for everything, yaani 100% provision, will you still ask me where it's coming from or why I'm late or where I've been? Or will you woman up as well like the African woman? (as quoted above).

BBI will solve it

Mambo ya watu wawili is only unique to those two individuals. If a woman earns more than her husband and they decide on whatever they want to do with that combined basket, there will be no thunder from heaven. Don't get caught up subscribing to many people's theories. Mkiskizana ni sawa pia.

She should woman up too and stop asking the man of the house petty questions
