If that's the attitude -- then a wife should be compensated as a chef, house cleaner, nanny, personal shopper, nurse, etc.

Dearest sir -- you could NOT afford the services a "wife" provides for free at the current market rate. Never think a "wife" doesn't "work" at home. Your job is an 8 hour day. Hers is 24/7.

Your apparent lack of understanding of what a "marriage" entails tells me that you have had little success with the institution. Your lack of awareness is appalling.

In the 45+ years that I have been married, my husband has NEVER made the claim that his income is his alone. That is because he is a wonderful man who understands the value of the "home" I provided for him and our children.

Shame on you if you have treated your wife as someone who is undeserving for all she does for your family!

Shame on you if you have teated your wife as someone who is undeserving for all she does for your family!
