Topic 1

"Do you think it is ideal for the financial burden of a home to be managed by the husband alone?" — No Deal

The idea that a man should carry the financial responsibility of the home all by himself has long been rooted in tradition, but in today’s world, I believe this mindset needs to evolve. I say No Deal, because relying on just one person especially the husband to shoulder all the expenses of the family is unrealistic,
overwhelming, and in many cases, damaging to both the relationship and the mental well-being of the man.

We live in a time where both men and women have the opportunity to pursue careers, earn income, and contribute meaningfully to their families. If both partners are able-bodied and capable of working, why should the burden fall solely on one person? Imagine a man earning just enough to feed the family, pay the rent, handle school fees, medical bills, and emergencies all alone how long can one truly survive under that kind of pressure?

I have witnessed this first-hand.

My uncle, who was once the sole provider for his home, worked multiple jobs, barely slept, and was constantly under stress. Over time, it took a toll on his health and even affected his relationship with his wife and children. It wasn’t until his wife decided to start a small business and began contributing financially that things began to improve. Their home became more peaceful, bills were paid on time, and they even started saving.

Financial responsibilities should be a partnership. It builds trust, balance, and respect in the home. When both partners contribute according to their capacity, it promotes teamwork and deepens their bond.

The reality is that even women are now CEOs, entrepreneurs, and professionals. Should they ignore their financial strength just because tradition says the husband must do it all?

Also, sharing financial duties empowers women. It gives them a voice in decision-making and teaches children both boys and girls that a healthy relationship is one built on fairness and cooperation.

In conclusion, the financial burden of a home should not rest on the shoulders of the husband alone. It is not a weakness for a woman to help her partner it is strength, wisdom, and love.

Let us move away from outdated traditions and embrace a future where both partners build and support their home together.

A peaceful, thriving home is one where burdens are shared and joy is multiplied. No Deal.
