I was in random conversations with my neighbor earlier today and discussed wives... In her opinion, a woman should be working so she can support her man in time of need or with some things in the house but my thought was different.

I feel both husband and wife have a different role to play... The husband is the sole provider of the house while the woman must take care of the house and family... Any attempt to alter this is what often causes problems in most homes.

Some men want their women to work and also support them in paying the bills, they still want them to take care of all the chores, cook, and remain submissive to them, the moment you mandate it for your wife to work, you already lost half of your respect and control over her...

When a man does his duty well by providing for his family, his wife would be submissive to him, but the moment you are trying to make things equal, then be ready to lose your power as the head.

There are many reasons why I won't mandate my wife to work and if she feels like working, she won't work under someone, I would rather open a business for her where she can be her own boss.

The reason behind not letting her work for others is because there are many predators out there, and letting her go work under someone or places with men is like pushing her to the predators that will always come for her, there are many shameless men out there that do not care if a lady is married, they still want to fulfill their selfish lust desire and even if you trust your wife, don't push her to where she can be tempted.

The second reason why I won't want my wife to work is because of the duty she needs to take care of at home, I can't expect her to take care of my home, children, and me and still go out to work again, she might collapse or lag behind either in the home duty or the work she is doing outside... She is a human and not a machine... the husband should earn money while she takes care of her man, the children, and the home.

I understand the reason why most men want their wives to work is because they do not earn enough and they feel their wives can support them if she is working too, very understandable! I think this is another reason we need to plan our lives and secure our future before we think of getting married because it is not child's play.

Life is getting easier now with remote jobs, so wives can take that up, it will ease the burden of going out and not in their wifely duties at home.

It’s not really good for women to work under people and I love that you understand that. We all know that if you work for people, you are likely not able to have your own time and when the man of the house does not have time, the woman should be able to

yea one must be available to take care of the house

I can't agree with you in case of decision. I feel if my wife is educated and if she wants to do a job I will agree with it as long as she remains happy. Moreover, I won't hesitate to work home with here in the kitchen for cooking and do other household work after completing the office.
Secondly, I know there are many bad men but you can't cage your wife for that reason. She must know how to protect her by her own as you can't protect her all the time.

the moment you mandate it for your wife to work, you already lost half of your respect and control over her.

I don't think wives are designed to be controlled.

in a relationship, one person needs to be in charge for the ship to sail well, so i guess you will love your wife to be the alpha that will control you instead then since you wont want to be in charge

I think my wife should work, it's not mandatory but when the option is on the table, she has to. I think the idea of opening a business for her is good, but then, with a university certification, I think if she gets a job that will pay well and not stress her, then she should.

well, most jobs in Nigeria are not worth it, if there is an opportunity to earn a good amount of money, then i won't object as well, but you see all this less than 50k salary that tf has taken half of it is not worth it and i won't let her do it... and yea i still prefer setting her up... that is still the best option for me

Looking at this from another point of view...not all men respects women who doesn't support financially at home. So it depends on your man per se
But personally, I love to work, preferably remote and I love to have someone paid to assist in chores at home so I don't get stressed otherwise, I won't be available for my man oo 🤣...cos I no be machine but human being
