If your husband suddenly got rich, would you ask him about the source of his wealth?
Biola Abiosetele
What will I ask him? Why should I ask him? It is normal for anybody to become rich anytime. His case is not the first, neither would it be the last, so why should I be bothered about his sudden wealth? He is a man and he can take certain decisions by himself. So, I am not going to ask him unless he decides on his own to tell me. After all, it is money we are talking about. I don’t want to be poor and I sure don’t want my children to suffer. So, if my husband should become rich suddenly, I will not question him at all. The only thing I can do is discuss with him on how to spend the money wisely so that we can continue to get richer.

I would first of all thank God for the sudden wealth. Then, I will ask my husband for the source of his wealth. That is very necessary because I have to know where the riches came from. We never can predict the work of men; it could be blood money or money gotten from something worse, like stealing or kidnapping and I will not condone such.

Surely I would ask him as his wife. It is my duty as a wife to monitor and mentor my husband. If my husband is into any business, he should tell me so that I don’t doubt him if the business should be successful. As a couple, we shouldn’t lie to one another. Even if he told me the source of his wealth, I would still pray about it because he can definitely lie about the source of his wealth; he is only human.

I would ask him and I will make sure that I call some of his family members, so that they can know how he has become so rich overnight. I would also make sure I seek spiritual advice so that I can be rest assured that his sudden wealth would not affect me and my children in the future.

Why not? I will definitely ask him and he must tell me the truth. Whenever my husband tells me he is broke and, maybe few days later, I discover he is spending lavishly, I will simply jokingly tell him this, “Oga, how come, which bank did you break?” He usually would laugh, but after laughing, he will tell me what exactly he did and how he came about the money. It is not wrong to ask, it is normal but a lot of such conversations depends on the relationship of the couple. Some couples are not friends; they don’t even talk. So, how can the woman ask such a question without getting a beating or being yelled at? She may just be keeping quiet for peace to reign.

Why will I not ask him? If I don’t ask him, please who will? He is my husband and it is his responsibility to, not only tell me, but give details of how he became wealthy overnight so far I know that we were struggling financially. I will not stop asking until he has told me everything and I am satisfied with his responses or I will probe further. Women are the best private investigators in this world; our intuition is superb, except we choose not to listen. We always know when something is amiss.

Of course, he is my husband and he is answerable to me. I will definitely ask him where he got the money he is splurging on me from. Failure to give me any good explanation would be the beginning of the end of the marriage. I will not sit there and be living big on the destinies of my children or even mine. The heart of man is wicked. One must be wise as a woman.

Yes, if he gets rich suddenly, it is only normal to ask and get a tangible explanation from him. Or else, the woman should be prepared for whatever surprise that comes her way.

A good wife is supposed to ask so as to know how exactly she is been taken care of. If my wife should ask me such a question, I will be open to her, except I am involved in ritual, drug dealing, bribery or any other evil means of getting money. If that is the case, I will keep the truth from her and tell her what is convenient.

What women know best in relationships is nothing but money. While one cannot tell just by looking at the financial prospect of a man, every woman wants to end up with a wealthy man and be well taken care of. Most times, this desire clouds the rational thinking of woman, coupled with that thing called love which must surface when the guy is loaded. No mother these days will encourage or support her daughter to marry a man without a career, good money and property in choice places across the country. So, why would a woman ask if she gets all financial pleasures? All she cares about is spending the money, driving the latest range rovers and using the smartest smart phone, vacationing abroad and living in duplexes is all the average woman of today cares about.

I will advise women not to bother asking because they will only be lied to. You do not expect a man to tell you that he used your baby or your mother for money rituals. He will simply be lying through his teeth.
Fagbemi Olusegun
Many ladies will not ask their husbands. Our society has become negatively skewed towards getting money at all costs. Moral values have been eroded. Nobody really cares about how people make their money but are eager to spend the money with them. The same goes for married couples. A woman will naturally prefer to be pampered and given all material things without any argument. So, why will she want to get to the root of the wealth of a man that pampers her when all she cares about is displaying her lavish life style on social media?

Although this question has been tailored for the women, I would like to answer it. If I were a woman, I would not ask for the source of his wealth. I will simply be a happy camper and enjoy the wealth to the fullest, as long as it lasts.

Sometime ago when I was broke, I gathered some scrap iron and sold them to recyclers for cash. My wife asked me immediately I got home and gave her some money because she knew that I was broke. That is a normal marriage but sadly, not every marriage is normal. It is the wife’s duty to ask.
Dave Isaac
Asking that question is mandatory for every woman who means well for her marriage and her family. It should not be debated. A good woman must ask at all times to keep her family safe.
Baban Zango
Any man that cannot explain the source of his wealth to his wife is a criminal. It is that simple. It is a woman’s right to ask and a man’s responsibility to answer truthfully.
Douepre Cay
A good woman should probe until she knows the real source of her husband’s wealth. If she suspects that he is hiding anything from her, she must blow the whistle and run for her life or quietly leave the man and forget about the marriage.
