Kinds of Marriage Relationships 

There are different kinds of relationships, and everybody will do well to know this in their spirits.

1. Husband and wife are earning money and contributing equally to the family's finances
This means sharing house chores and baby care duties

2. Husband is 100% provider financially
His wife will cover the home and house chores exclusively; otherwise, she will work him into an early grave

3. Husband is stupendously rich.
Both husband and wife don't get to do chores
Domestic staff handles that
Wife supervises the chef and ensures the table is set in the right way
Nanny raises the children and maid helps with house chores

4. Wife is 100% provider
Husband covers the house chores and home affairs exclusively.
Otherwise, he will work her into an early grave.

5. 3. Wife is stupendously rich.
Both husband and wife don't get to do chores
Domestic staff handles that
Husband supervises the chef, driver, and general maintenance of the house and property.
Nanny raises the children and maid helps with house chores.

Poor people should stop trying to impose their standards on everyone.
Our situations are not the same.

PS: A friend of mine has challenged me in the DM for the use of the phrase “poor people” In the last paragraph of this tweet.

That phrase was used in the context of an earlier discussion.

In August this year, at the GSWMI UK retreat, we had a discussion on marriages and relationships.
The topic of billing and other issues that are ranked high on X were discussed.

We discovered after a thorough analysis of such topics that issues like that affect a certain demographic in Nigeria and abroad, and those who belong to that demographic are those below the poverty line.

Ladies born into well-to-do families don’t usually bill men unless the specific lady has a poverty mindset as an individual.
Ladies and men born in well-to-do families don’t fight over “He is making me do all the house chores while we both contribute to the family’s purse equally.”

Ladies and gentlemen born into well-to-do families don’t come up with “what do you bring to the table discussion.

Ladies and gentlemen born into well-to-do families don’t get into “He sponsored her, or she sponsored him, and then he or she ghosted or cheated, etc.”

The family members of well-to-do couples who are well-to-do themselves don’t fight over Omugwo and how much are you sending my parents monthly issue.

There are so many people whose discussions on X betray the fact that they are from the trenches, and they are the ones dominating conversations on X because of their sheer number.

Those who do not belong to that demographic should not read their suggestions, comments, and complaints and relate to it.
You are of a different breed.

I made a mental note that whenever I would comment on such issues, I would separate the reality of the poor people from that of the well-to-do people so that things wouldn’t be lumped together as it usually was.

This was why I used the phrase.
