Do you think a it is compulsary for a wife to help the husband?

I think That they are in a life that they have to help each other, this is her duty, but She shouldn't be obliged to do that.

Marriage is a partnership...a committment to each other to help and support under all circumstances. There should be no "his" and "hers". It should all be "ours". It's irragional and old fashioned to believe that one is more responsible for financial support than the other. Today's economy nearly always requires two incomes to provide for a family. She is totally wrong to feel that she doesn't have to share all aspects of the relationship

It would be nice if the busband and the wife is working and helping together but it depends on wife/husband on how he/she sees his/her role in life. Now a days a wife can do what a husband can do...

Well, a family is built with both husband and wife. It is the duty of both of them to contribute to the welfare of their family. And if it happens that both of them are earning and any of them needs some financial or any kind of help, it is the duty of the other partner to come forward and support. If anybody loves and respect his/her partner then he/she will never think whether to support or not. It is that love and respect which will lead that person to take the hand of his/her partner in distress.

I do not agree. I feel husband and wife should help each other at all times

To me, marriage is meant for both. mutual understanding, love and affection. Though wife can act as a independent person, but she cant so. Because, she has responsibility. Answer my question, if the husband's thinks in that way, he is an independent person that your female friend thinks, then what happens to the family???? if the husband doesnt give money for monthly exps, then what the girl will do, she earns herself and spends herself? husband and wife relationship should be like, give and take policy. .

What a horrible person. She is not only selfish she is nasty. I'm surprised she married a man who earned so little. But she did and they are now a partnership. They share everything. They should have a budget so that the bills are paid and any spending money should also be assigned as per their needs. I cannot help but think that this woman will make her husband miserable. I hope they never have children.

Hello yspmyl, Marriage is an agreement with two people to live together like one soul. It means the responsibility is equal. In case the wife is not earning then the sole responsibility goes to the husband automatically. If anybody thinks that ‘it is his or it is her’ then there won’t be success in their relationship because commitment is very necessary for a happy life. There is nothing bad if the wife can support her husband and she can be proud to sharing/shouldering the responsibility of her family.

i think husband and wife should independent.it doesn't mean they should spend their own money.they should share the burden of their family.if husband could n't share at least half of it .in fact he usually will be looked down upon by his wife though we should n't think so.

It is not a compulsion. But a marriage vow states I choose you to be my partner: to have and to hold, from this day forward. For better, for worse, for richer for poorer; in sickness and in health; to have and to cherish, as long as we both shall live. Its is not an act of compusion but an understanding.

I think that this is a question of traditions. In my country usually both the husband and the wife work and earn for the family. In many cases the wife continue at home with the homework! But she has a job, she can't take a proper care of the children and they go to a kindergarten...

As a wife you are an essential part of your family. You have a bond with your husband that says "For better or for worst". So share too what you have, its for the good of the family.

to have a happy and successful family one should help each other..its for the easiest way to lie and handle situation especially in terms of financial and family problem.

Hi.. First of all I just wanna to say that it is not the wife's money or the husband's money. It is their family income.. If they think like that then it is not a burden for the working women to share the money for the family expenses. My opinion is that you try to make your friend understand the fact of life and not just money making. Have a great day...

whatever your friend believes in, she is entitled to her opinion. but why did she marry in the first place if she didn't realize that she is going to share everything with her husband. in sickness and health, for better or for worse, for poorer or for richer. that should give her the idea.

Husbands and wives should work together to support the family's needs. the burden shouldn't be placed on the shoulders of one. If husband and wife are both working, both of them should take care of the expenses of the family.

In my opinion, husband and wife now should share equal responsibilities in all aspects. Well if the wife can share a help to his husband financially by working, that would be a great help but the husband should also share a help in household chores in anyway he can. If money is not a problem to a family, we can say that it's a healthy and happy family.

i think it is not a compulsory thing to do... i think helping husband is the meaning of wife..... helping her husband is her duty as a wife...

Financial independence is fine. But when it comes to family as a unit, there should be no division between male and female (or husband and wife). Each forms an equal part of the organisation called family and hence you cannot ignore the other in any respect. At the same time, it is the responsibility of each member to respect the other one's freedom.

Hi yspmyl, For me definitely yes, the wife and husband should help each other...
