The Dynamics of Negotiating Financial Roles in your Relationship
We are slowly moving away from an era where it was almost compulsory for the man to be the sole provider in the family. Nowadays, woman are getting up and securing the bag in the household as well – it is no longer taboo for the wife to put food on the table, pay for fees and financially take care of the household.
But truth be told – how we have been socialized or taught, especially growing up in black families is that the husband takes care of the financial obligations and the wife takes care of the household.
However, with the recession and the modern world we live in – both man and wife need to work to bring a steady income in the household. But how do we as women negotiate finances in the household – balancing both the cultural aspect of roles in the household vs modern financial demands.
