Are women suppose to rely solely to their Provider Husband?

This is coming from someone whom was married but had no children. When I was married I kind of dreamt of being taken care of, just taking care of the house and the husband's needs. That really isn't practical in today's society however, and I suppose a dream for a 50's lifestyle. I do not believe it's "safe" to rely solely on the husband as many factors could come into play. Either the couple could split up, and if put into a custody battle the husband would win most likely because of his "bread winning" status, or if the husband were to die. It's a lot of headache and heartache to go through and get money off of the husband's estate (life insurance) and once gotten, may not be enough to provide for the family. I think that the wife should always have a job, if it's only a few hours a week, so be it, but she needs something as a "cushion" as well.

In these times, both husband and wife should help hand in hand in providing for the family. This makes their life much better. Now the question that would follow is, how would women get jobs if they have small kids to look after? The internet can provide a big help with them. One is by putting up an online shop and the other is working online. There are various sites that ca provide homebased jobs. Arleast, that is how I do. I do both.

Yes here in my society husbands are supposed to provide for their wife's and children's needs. Also it is a wife's responsibility to look after the house and children. But if a wife wants to help her husband with earning or to even earn for herself provided her husband agrees to that, I see no harm with that as well

It's a big NO for me. Speaking from my own experience, had i depended solely on my husband to provide everything for us when we started our married life, the shambles that my children and I have undergone when we separated would not have been possible for us to live through. However, by having my own job we had been able to survive. Hence for me, having a job of her own is some form of an insurance for a wife that may protect her and her children for unforeseen possibilities in her married life.

It is the husband's responsibility to provide for his family as he is the HEAD of the family..If the husband wants his wife to just stay at home the wife should submit to his husband..or there are men that will allow their wives to work..Being a stay at home mom is not an easy task..All husbands should know that..

you might call me primitive but in my opinion, wife is better not work since it's husband's duty, wife's task is taking care of the house and taking care of the kids as for a working wife, I prefer not to let my wife working since her time to spend with the kids will be reduced and I am afraid that it will affects the kids about how their parents treat them

I try to rely solely on my husband to provide for me and my daughter, but sometimes it is difficult to do that. Lately my husband has been trying to switch jobs to get better pay, but the process is long and expensive. It sometimes requires him to take off from his current job to do this. We were not even able to pay our rent for last month. That is why I work online, as sort of a back up. I don't make a whole lot, but it definately helps that we have my extra income to fall back on.

There are several factors involved, some of which are already discussed. Other considerations include a. How much time is needed to complete household chores and home related responsibilities, such as looking after the elderly and kids, cooking, washing, cleaning, and children's education, etc. b. How tiring the job is likely to be, and how far the lady would have to travel c. How difficult it is to commute and how much time it would take for commuting. d. How badly are the funds required A working woman tends to keep a better wardrobe, and so her husband is not likely to stray very easily. Effectively, one reason for divorce diminishes considerably. However, working woman can get tired too and it can affect her moods. She might snap at things because of stress and relationships can get strained because of this. Every person differs in the way they manage things. So much depends upon how swiftly and in organized fashion can the lady manage the show. Ideally, a woman should work so that she is not caught on the wrong foot, and husband does not feel overburdened with responsibilities. If one partner feels that the house will not run if he leaves the job then the stress on him would be more. He might adjust to bullying at workplace and return home in nasty mood feeling trapped in the situation. Net net, ladies should work if they can.

In my own point of view, the husband and the wife should take a common responsibility in providing the needs in their family. Especially now that we are facing some economic problem, i think it is practical if the wife doesn't just rely solely to her husband. Both of them should compromise for their family's welfare, particularly their kids.

My mom always told me not to depend on man in marriage because you never know what the future would bring. That's why she kept motivated us to do our best at school because she believe that education is the best investment. I am agree with my mom and eventhough my husband prefer me staying home but he let me continue working and keep my income for myself and whatever I want to do with it. I don't know but having own income gives me more freedom on monies.

it could be possible but as far as i am concerned, if me as a wife could do something to contribute and bring money in the family, then why not? it is a generation as of this millennium that wives go to work and offices and bring earnings for the necessities of their family. if for me, i want my husband to work and also me, as a wife. why not, it is a good opportunity not just to buy all the necessities in life but for the establishing the good future for the children in their educational aspect, for example. but it is still situation. out of practicality, i will not work if my husband is so rich. i will have a stable mind momentarily, because what we want would be granted including necessities, priorities and luxuries. but whatever the possession of my husband, i can still find myself love to work and earn for my own and can give my children if they want something to buy

We are in a new era , where women are empower , meaning they can share responsibilities with husband. Women can work and help augment family's income. Future of the family , kids is not in Dad's hands alone but in both hands of the parents.

i totally disagree that only husbands suppose to work, even being a wife i believe both should work together to support a family, this will not only decrease the burden but also let them to understand about their financial conditions more bettr.Think in a possible reason, what if something goes wrong to the husband then who will takecare of the family. I think both should work together.

i totally do not agree that a women should be solely depend on her husband, even being a wife i dont feel safe and comfortable if he is the only one paying for all bills.I mean think for possible reasons what if something bad happens to him then whose is going to takecare of the family besides its not only his job to support. What if you are more capable of earning more than him and you can support the family too. Working together keeps the burden low as the other person knows what if I'm jobless atleast my wife can manage for few months untill I get a job. Everyones need someone then why does husbands suppose to earn alone.

I think the most ideal partners of today should be both working and that their obligations as husband and wife should never end in their jobs but also they share the duties in the household.That is what I call harmonious ways of living together because,that when the husband is working,the wife should do the household and so was the husband when the time his wife is out for work,he must do all household chores. The children should never be left unattended until they all go to school and go home safely.

Well nowadays, both husband and wife are mostly working to insure that the family will survive. Long before, it has always been the husband who works but from my point of view, there is nothing wrong if both work for as long as the children are taken care of.

I would get bored to be home all the time being housewives . I am the working type , if I have to stay home I would have to be working in a home office are something. I would feel safe if I am being taken care of by my husband (engage) because he is a great guy and love and will never hurt me but I like being independent always 50/50 in a relationship. So one day when we are marry that would be the least of my worries but I also have a provider traits.

Hi meumeu I think that kids are a very important fact. Kids are a great responsability in our hands. I know it´s not safe that the wife rely solely on her husband. But I know by selfexperience that kids are not just like pets that may be feeded and they are happy. My parents worked full time, always. We lived like rich people. The best schools, the best house, the best vacations once or twice a week, lot of new cars. But we grew with a nanny since I was born. The love and care of the mother cannot be replaced by anybody. Kids are not pets. A tv, a pc, a sportclub or a nanny don´t replace the true love and care of the mother. And finally after 29 years or marriage my parents got divorced. For what for was all their effort? I have 15 years of marriage. I have do household chores for 10 years. Until kids grew up. (I graduated with honors from the best college of my country, and I studied at Paris, at Sorbonne too) but I know how important is the love of the mother on kids development. I got enough money of my parents to love money. I had enough. So I decided to live poority just to be and raise my children. No more nannies here. But I´m in debt, because my husband money isn´t enough. Well in the last 5 years I´ve been working from home with an eshop, that works quite fine on Christmas. But now I´m opening a grocery store, and I´ve made the roll for kids, and my husband to help me with my store. Kids are getting older, they are almost teens. So the job on my eshop is harder on Christmas time, and kids already helped and help me. But they cann´t help more than doing and sending packages, because they are small to work hard on the pc programming skills and so far. So I don´t want kids wasting time or life infront of a TV, pc, playstation or whatever, when there are no packages to send, and when they have already finished homework or household chores. So I´m opening this store because I`ve faith that I`ll pay my debts, it´s too near home (your home too) just a block from here. And in the roll children will help in the store after school. And my husband will help on late friday and saturday nights. Of course if God allows all this. What do you think? OMG it´s not easy at all. You know but I`m trying to do my best to be a family! Blessings meumeu... dainy

If I were to answer the question I would prefer if I have my own earnings as well not just because my husband's earning is not enough it's because I want to help my husband financially if situation permits.Its true that the husband should provide for his family but if circumstances would allow, I would want to earn an extra amount for the welfare of my kids, husband and myself too.Knowing the financial situations in every countries now a days I think its best if you have savings and investments.

Never! Women have equal rights over men. They can work even after getting married. But it depends on the family situation too. If it allows the can. Some time they will be in need of money at that time also they can move on with some work. But it is completely a women's opinion about relying on his husband for finance!
