Do Husbands Need To Give Wives Their Income?

this depends on the husband and wife to talk about it. i give my salary to my wife. she is the one who budgets my income. she has a list of all we need to pay and she will also put on the list the things she bought. this is what i want. if a husband does not want to give his salary to her wife then i think that is okay too it depends on what they like. i do this so it works for me. if i want or need to buy something i ask money from her.

depends on which one is better with money, my partner of nine years has a have money must spend attitude then think about bills. i have control over all money, we sit down every thursday nite and dicuss what has been payed and how much play money he gets for the week,this works for the both of us and we are both happy with the arrangment.

Since they are married, all money that enters the house is their money. It is no longer HIS income. The money if for the family. They should - as a couple - go through their budget and decide how to spend their money.

Money can blind someone's heart, should if major conflict happens on them. The rule may be run smoothly when none problem's appeared on the surface. It's better to talk this out with your partner. What we need to share out first is for primary house needs, -school fee from kids or baby's milk etc, food supplies, bills concerning home, etc. Then we may proceed with savings and personal needs which is secondary or tertiary needs. You may share half part to her after providing primary expenses, and also keep an amount that necessary for your personal needs either.

I don't believe that a husband or a wife should just hand over their income. I think they should come to some sort of agreement of how the bills and fun money are used and then stick to it. My boyfriend and I make a vastly different amount of money, I make double what he does, yet we split the bills 50/50. We both pay equal amounts towards the bills, because we feel that we use them equally. We have decided together that I will save more for our future, mainly because I'm the better saver. I split the savings about 70/30. I am fine with this, as I was saving about this amount before we were together, so it's really only about about a $10 difference in what I am saving, plus his contributions are added. Since we are not married, we do not keep our savings together. While we plan on being together forever, I don't believe that you should accumulate things together if you have no way to recoup them if we split up. As for day to day stuff, he pays for a lot of it, like fast food and little stuff at the grocery store. I do the big shopping trip about once every week with tons of coupons and stuff, then if we need something small that I forgot or ran out of, he picks it up. It seems to work for us, but everyone is different. The best thing to do is just pick a quiet time where you can sit down and discuss how things will be paid for. Its not particularly fun to talk about bills, but it's a whole lot less fun when they don't get paid.

Hand over? No. Share? Yes. I think the situation where this becomes a big issue is when a husband is working and the wife is a stay-at-home mom. This is the situation in my own house. My husband does not "hand over" his income to me, but we both do have equal access. Now, if a wife (or husband) chooses to abuse that privilege, that is between the husband and the wife. Personally, my husband and I don't abuse our access to our income, but we do *each* have our weak moments. I don't think it's fair for the husband to say that the wife can't spend *any* money, just as it wouldn't be fair for the husband to have to hand over all of his money to the wife for her to control. It should be shared.

There have been several discussions on this topic here. I believe that a man should not give his wife his income, nor should he feel that he has to. I feel that a wife and husband should share their incomes, and in the case of a stay at home mom, the man should decide whether he does the budgeting and bill paying or whether she does. I can not say that I do not see the problem with a man handing his money to his wife as I know a friend who basically uses all of her fiance's money. A system should be devised, My fiance and I have our own system.... even though it's not much.

No, the husband needs to support his household properly and then all will be satisfied. I supplement the family income with my home based business for the last few years and it's good. www.shaklee.net/brady I pay the light bill and the phone....he pays the rest.
