Marriages are wired differently these days. There's really no gender based role anymore; any one can take up any duty depending on the circumstances.
We see more wives who work just as hard or earn more money than their husbands. Is it that men are becoming lazier or due to change in the societal reasoning?
Some men are wise enough to eat the humble pie and switch roles when there' a sudden change thereby maintaining peace and unity in the home.
They offer their services without being asked. They help out with school runs and other school activities that require the presence of at least one parent.
Where there are no domestic staff, some men who add less value financially learn to cook and also help with other house chores.
The really good ones even iron wifey's dress for work the next day. They know where the pepper is rolling in from and they also understand their roles towards ensuring that the pepper keeps coming.
A good wife who makes more money does not rub it in; it's bad enough that a man cannot provide, making it obvious will definitely kill a good man. The wayward ones do not give two hoots where the money comes from. They will squander it and come back asking for more. Lol!
There's nothing as evil as a bad wife who makes more money. Oh! The man is completely finished. With every meal she provides, it's "useless man, you can't make money but you have the mouth to eat mscheeew".
Woe betide the invalid husband if he can't call his tortilla to order in the night. Any attempt to touch oga madam will be met by a deafening slap on the preying hand accompanied by "so this thing can still rise?" "Your mates are making money, you are here looking for a free hole"
Yes a man without money is an invalid and I pity such a man especially if he's married to a jezebel.
We have very good women who still defer to their husbands even though they work harder and earn more.
They even have joint accounts and must take permission for every expense from hubby. I won't do this though even if I do not earn more than my husband or make money in the first place.
I will respect him and will only explain what I did with money. He may know about most expenses but I will not be under obligation to take permission before any spending except in very unique cases. I will take his advice nonetheless because I've got me a very good and wise man.
The most annoying situation is where the successful wife was supported by her husband.
A particular man who put his wife through school and also helped her land a dream job. She started to help her own family instead and would never contribute a dime to the running of her own home.
In this case, hubby also happily played mummy roles to the children still the ungrateful wife never supported in any way. Of course the marriage packed up bitterly.
In another story, a lady whose husband fell into hard times, took over the role of the breadwinner immediately. Nobody knew about their situation till hubby started to ask friends to thank his wife for holding fort for ten years. Of course the confession came after he got his groove back.
Truth be told at some point in marriage, love and friendship may not be enough and money takes the lead.
Any invalid husband who still visits wifey's bar for some free booze without any resistance should kneel down today and say 'thank you ma'.
After some time even the poppydough only responds when it hears the sound of an alert or at the expectation that money is coming.
Men, sometimes you need to act rich to your wives. Drop fictitious figures; it makes the wife open her gates with undiluted joy and the orgasm is definitely different.
I saw a picture of how women see men who are broke and I couldn't agree more. Hahaha!

Please give wifey the opportunity to enjoy your poppycock in peace. After the act, find a way of telling her that the business deal was cancelled. The problem with this method is that it may take a while before she opens her bar to you again. Lol!
Some couples both work very hard to earn a living yet some men will want the wife to get home and fix both of them something to eat and afterwards still want to eat the main food...fa fa fa foul! You have to choose one!
Some men want to live the best of both worlds; they want a modern wife who works and shares the bills yet cooks and serve meals and is timidly submissive. My friend choose one!
If your friend has a high flying wife who is still very submissive, please do not expect your own wife to be just like her. No two women are the same.
Finally, couples should find what works for them to the exclusion of every other person.
