??? I ain’t married but I think the sort of mind set I take into a relationship will eventually affect the way I’d relate with my partner. With that said, I contribute thus…

violence against women-

I have been in situations where I’v had to defend my self from my sisters on several occasions altho we were much younger then and we as siblings did not take the factor of “I’m older than you” into consideration. Tnx 2 my mom, a couple of friends n church, I was able to see that hitting ladies, girls, women (however you categorize them) is totally wrong.
Yea, it’s true that some ladies go out of their way to provoke men for the stupidest (pardon me) of reasons eg. a woman wonan shouting her head off just coz her husband got home late and is suspectin dat he was off wit another woman. Imagine the man has a short fuse, what do you think happens? He’d probably beat her black n blue ( itz wrong but hey, it’z hiz mentality…).
May God almighty give us the strength to persevere o!!

Should men assist their wives wit domestic work?-

I a kinda old fashioned dude from a family where my mom believes that the kitchen is the woman’s domain. Ever since we were kids, the boys were always “Kicked” out of the kitchen once cooking was going on, but she encouraged us to tidy up after eating, sweep and mop the floor, do laundry etc. It was a routine ting wit my sisters getting mostly kitchen chores and the boys gettin toilet duty, sweeping and vacuuming, window cleaning. Etc. B cos of that it became a challenge to the boys to “invade and overthrow the kitchen empire” so to speak. We started cooking small stuff (frying plantain, boiling rice, yam, making moi moi etc) and my mum noticed this and encouraged us.

In essence, the kitchen is really a free for all arena, not the woman’s domain so yes men should help out their wives, especially when the man and woman are both working parents. I can’t expect a husband and wife who both close work at 6pm to get home and the woman will go and start cooking while the man lounges till food is ready (although I must admit, it’s quite the temptation, as most men were brought up wit the mentality of not participating in domestic activities).

Like I said at the start, the mentality both carry into their relationship is what determines their outcome.

Times are fast changing Women work like men these days, MD’s, CEO’s, Bankers, Lawyers, Doctors. Face it! They can’t do what full house wives do. Men Help them O!!!

i think women should really be assisted in domestic chores.
does it not bother any husband when his wife is seriously choked in the kitchen while he watches T.V?
weekends should be the time 4 men 2 contribute immensely to domestic chores.

its very good to know your partner well, his or her behavior well before marrying such person. If you know your spouse’s behaviour i see no reason why you cannot cope with the person.
I’m still single. I know for sure that i will help my wife doin some house work. The fact is that some ladies don’t like their man to come near to the kitchen.

i really like this topic..i mean it usually come up and become something we argue about when am with friends.am not yet married but i like it that when i get married, my husband will be able to assist me in the kitchen and in doing some other house chores that they think its feminine.
you know some guys think that the kitchen is meant for the woman and while she’s there,working her ass off,the guy is sitting in front of the tv or reading papers and sipping juice or some drink..and the worst part is that they will still shout at the wife that the cooking is slow…or she’s taking too long,because they are hungry.
some guys say they wont assist but they will check on her from time to time till she’s done.
in my own opinion,i believe the guy should very much stay with her ,assist with little things and even if they cannot,they should just keep her company,gist with her and give her support when necessary.

What is wrong in a man ASSISTING his wife with domestic work?
They are suppose to be “help mate”.
Am married and I help my wife with domestic works.
How will both of us come back from work and I cross my legs watch TV while she will be struggling it out in the kitchen preapring our dinner?
How will both of us be preparing for church on a sunday and while she is busy preparing our breakfast I will be sleeping?
NO!NO!NO!
We are “help mates”.Some of us men are not having happy homes because of these little -little things that we are not doing?
We run our homes like the way we run our offices.
We attach our societal statues to the way we do things at home.
That is were we are getting it wrong.OUR WIVES ARE NOT SLAVES!THEY ARE PART OF US..WE SHOULD TREAT THEM THE WAY WE WILL TREAT OURSELVES.
May God help us.

i don’t think anything is wrong wit this but trust women if you give them more than enough chance they take you for granted.to be candid i would really love to help out coz am not going to marry a wife and turn her in a househeld but basically i will not allow her do anything stressful
