Ferngirl View Profile History	Support your wife financially Posted : 14 Jan, 2011 03:14 AM Why do men these days think a woman should go out to work and support herself financially? I think if they want to marry us, then they should be prepared to take care of us financially. Maybe old fashioned, but when we're @home, we clean, cook, sew, mend, create and if we have to go out and work, we don't have the time, to make the home nice and cook good, proper meals and be attentive and devoted. I'll be interested to see men's reply's to this Q! So far I have been blessed and found men to care for me in past relationships, but I do see there's a lot who say - wanted - independant woman! Some of just want to be an old fashioned wife at home n be some ones babygirl and betaken care of. I also know I will be challenged by career women on this who would say - don't you want to do something for yourself- to put it simply - NO! I just want to be a wife - simple as that! Post Reply

It was only in her later posts that she began to give off the impression that she wanted to do her own thing and not actually contribute to the household. I really don't think she meant it that way, but it's the way I read it and the way others read it. Post Reply
View Profile History	Support your wife financially Posted : 15 Jan, 2011 11:19 AM Both spouses should be asking what they can do for each other. Neither spouse should be asking "What are you going to do for me?" However.............. Before Marriage I think it is wise to ask "What are you doing for me" as opposed to "What are you going to do for me" For example : Is this person presently enhancing my relationship with God, or detracting from it. It is not a matter of whether it is right or wrong to find a person to support you as you desire. It is a matter of two people who's desires are complimentary. This should be discovered before marriage and forgotten after marriage. Post Reply

View Profile History	Support your wife financially Posted : 15 Jan, 2011 02:41 PM Friends to clear up a few things. I did put some thought into this. As a misunderstanding did occur in some statements. In England where Fern is from they always call each other old man and old lady at a certain age. It is not disrepectfull there. eastern Europe is much the same way; If you are a young man you would say, hey old lady I need directions. The old lady says young man you go here and their. I am not excusing other statements just like it is ok to call a woman here a chick. in the old Soviet Union that is a bad word. Never call a woman from eastern Europe a chick. She will slap you guys or get very nasty. Some of you know my X wife is from the Ukraine, yes I have traveled to the Ukraine. I think Fern girl walked into something she was not ready for. I hope this clears up somethings. Blessed is the peacemaker. Post Reply

View Profile History	Support your wife financially Posted : 16 Jan, 2011 05:18 PM I was blessed to be a stay-at-home mom for eleven years. For the first year, before the first child came along, I was a stay-at-home-wife. (In part that was because the particular town in which we lived was notorious for not hiring military spouses.) But I did keep a nice home, and did some volunteer work. When the kids were older and still in school, I did lots more volunteer work - at the schools, on the base, with the squadrons. I contributed nothing financially to the marriage, but I kept the books, kept the house, took care of my family (immediate and extended), and frequently had to schedule time to stay home and clean. I'd once read that if you calculated all the things a stay-at-home mom does, and billed for it at average wages, she'd make six figures. This is not to laud stay-at-home moms, and certainly not at the expense of 'working' moms. It's a decision to be made by the wife and the husband, together, based on what's best for them as a couple/family, and how they can best bring glory to God. But yes, even if you 'stay home', you shouldn't be sitting on the couch all day, watching soaps and eating bon bons. None of us should. We are all clearly called to work (non-idleness). Post Reply
