Pastor Paul Enenche is 58 years old, & has been married for 31 years.
I have been married for a little over half of that.
But we are saying the same things when it comes to a man being the provider.
And we are both providers to our respective families.
Telling you that, if your wife earns N1m, and you earn N100k, and that you should give her N50k from it, is wisdom that many of you have failed to see the depth of its meaning & importance.
Is it 50k that would truly feed the wife, kids and handle the expenses?
The answer is no.
What he's saying is that you as the man should not feel entitled to your wife's money.
And that just because she's making way more than you're making, then you should relax and say she should take over from you as the provider.
He mentioned that giving your wife half of what you earn, despite her earning more, shows that you care.
And it shows that if you have more, you'd give.
Your wife will respect you better than the wife of a man who feels entitled to her money.
He's speaking wisdom.
You're the one that doesn't want to think, neither do you really have a full grasp of his message, even if you're a married man.
Lastly, there would surely be some imbalance or friction in a marriage where the wife earns more.
But a wise husband that is not greedy, will retain his position as the head of his home, for a much longer time, while he works harder to bridge the gap.
Not feel relaxed because his wife is always stepping into his roles and responsibilities for him.
End.
