There are times when the husband's income is not always smooth or ups and downs, while the wife works or has income, should the wife help her husband's finances by paying monthly bills, what do you think.

I think there is nothing wrong with a wife helping her husband in financial matters. Because the household stands with two people who work together. Can't birds fly with one wing?

Of course the wife should help if the income of her husband is not enough to cover the bills.

If they can’t make it on just his full time income, and she is physically able to work, then sure she should contribute. When the bills got too much for my parents after adding two children to the family, my mom got a full time job. Years later, her health declined, and she had to quit, but she contributed as long as she could.

Okay, although there is no compulsion for women to help their husbands financially. But I often read of women who have money but are not willing to help their husbands, even if they only pay the small bills.

As women have been exposed to opportunities they really help in the house and it's a good thing . Am glad your mama was a real hardworker a characteristic carried by most women in the world

I believe there should be 2-income in the family. The wife should help the husband with the expenses of the household and the children's needs. Nowadays, life is difficult we have to help each other.

I think raising a family is a joint effort, so I see nothing wrong when wives help their husbands with the family's finances. That is especially helpful nowadays because of inflation.

@Laurakemunto I am a ful time housewife but I do side hustles online and although it is not much, it does help with the extra expenses. What about you, do you have a full time work or just like me is also a housewife?

In my opinion , Ultimately, the arrangement for paying bills should be based on the couple's financial situation and needs. It should not be solely based on gender roles or stereotypes. Both partners should work together to ensure that their financial responsibilities are met and that they are supporting each other in a loving and respectful manner.   Also, most importantly, both partners should not take each others for granted.

I agree with you, but it is customary in some countries that the financial responsibility is in the hands of the husband, so the woman earns only for herself.

Of course, marriage is a partnership and the responsibility should be shared by both. In fact, it is imperative that they do so.

If the wife is earning a sensible income I think she should as she too is part of the family and is using all the amenities at home.

Yes she can help and also the husband should also work to provide but not take advantage of that. You know some men can be Very heartless and become so lazy ending up frustrating the woman financially
