Relationship Between Resources and Respect in Marriage

What is the true nature of the relationship between resources and respect in marriage?

A woman complained to a humanitarian worker about her travails in marriage. According to her, her husband has another wife and has been treating her as a piece of rag. He doesn’t discuss anything meaningful with her, spend time in her room or treat her as a husband treats his wife.

After narrating her ordeal, the humanitarian worker gave her a coupon with which she will be entitled to a pay of #27,000 in four tranches annually.

He advised her that once she got her pay, she should set aside 7#000 for her upkeep and give her husband the balance of #20,000 so they can plan together on what to do and how to do it.

Eventually, she was paid her first tranche and she did exactly as advised. When they eventually meet with the humanitarian worker, she was full of joy and excitement and narrated how her marriage is now a paradise. That her husband often sleeps in her room and consults her frequently for advice and other decision-making process.

Sometimes, the majority of the problems women face in their matrimonial homes is that some men do not think women do have any important contributions to family upkeep and improving the fortunes of the home.

Some women do not help themselves in that regard too. Most women think only about spending, spending, and spending

One of the major sources of family bonding is planning together. It is not a must that a man and woman must have a joint account or monitor each other’s financial lifestyle, but rather, planning their finances together will go a long way in creating a special bond between them as well as helping them achieve life dreams together

Happy international women’s day to all the women, mothers, daughters, sisters, grandmothers, and aunties
