I remember during marriage counselling. There was this couple in the same class with us and the guy just kept on saying a lot of things like "my wife is not allowed to have male friends"

"She is not allowed to stay out too late"

and some other statements in that line.

The wife was just staring at him and smiling. You could see they both adored each other regardless of all these. Apparently, the guy is very protective of his own and also very opinionated. Immediately, my wife and I enchanged stares. We know it can never be us.

There is no one shoe fits all in marriage. Many of our parents were and still are under Pst. Adeboye's tutelage but they ran their homes the way they see fit and it thrived. Some didn't and separated. They have given birth to you. Ensure your own marriage works.

I remember when we were dating, my wife (then girlfriend) never acted like she could cook or do any chore for that matter. Whenever she came visiting, I had no issues doing everything. In fact, I was always like "dem spoil this one for house". But I knew I wanted her in my life.

When we finally got married, I discovered she could actually do everything and more. The problem now was does she want to do them all? Do I want her to do them all? The answer is no! We outsource what we can and we share in the chores.

My nails? She begs me to cut them. Maid? She is like if ever we have one they are not going to serve or cook for us. All these things are no big deal. And she will always be like "you are the head of this house" and I will be there wondering how.

Marriage is a partnership, no doubt. But there is always a head whether you want to admit it or not. I can be the head when it comes to anything pertaining to lifting and she can be it when it comes to housekeeping. There is sha head.
Just find what works in your home and enjoy.
