Girl code: Ladies, let us allow men to take charge

One thing I have always asked God is to keep me away from a relationship where I will be financially stronger than my man. If ever I find myself in such a situation, trust me, I will be confused about the whole thing. Especially if the man is already aware that he can’t flex his financial muscle next to me. In fact, if I ever find myself in such a situation, I will try to never bring it up. I will ensure my man believes he is the mover and shaker in the house.

Generally, money is power and the more you have, the more powerful you get. If you are the stronger one financially in the house, you automatically become the decision maker even when you don’t want to. Your man will always want to seek your opinion and tend to sway by it, having in mind that you are likely going to be the one to chip in the bigger percentage of the funds involved. I have somehow come to learn that, as women, once we are aware that our finances are the wheels that keep our homes going, we forget that the man is ideally the head of the house and begin taking matters into our hands rendering the men in our lives powerless. This has ended quite a number of relationships.
