Relationships Advice- Financial Independence in relationships S1 EP 2 Manifest podcast with Prophet A D Hlophe

The bible says in Ecclesiastes 10:19 KJV.  A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money answereth all things. From the bible we understand that money is needed in life and actually makes life easy. However the is a misconception in the society that men are suppose to finance for all the needs of their partners as soon as they start dating. This has resulted in women developing a mindset of being entitled to certain things yet in a relationship both partners are suppose to bring money in the relationship. Our views are that, women should not expect men to pay their bills. Women should empower them self academically and financially. They should be financially independent. Men are not obligated to pay for their bills but they should do it because of love not be forced. As Christians it is important that we don't conform to the standards of the world of being materialistic in relationships. We need to understand that this does not change the roles and functions of each gender in a relationships in particular marriage but lets avoid developing a dependency syndrome to our partners.  We live in a society where everyone must make a living for themselves this will change they way we relate and stop a lot of abuse in relationships.
