QUESTION.
MY HUSBAND IS JOBLESS, I BUILT OUR HOUSE, BOUGHT OUR CAR AND I AM THE ONE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE EDUCATION OF OUR CHILDREN.
LAST WEEK, I GAVE HIM MONEY TO PAY THE SCHOOL FEES OF OUR DAUGHTER IN SENIOR SECONDARY SCHOOL, BUT INSTEAD OF PAYING THE FEES, HE SPENT THE MONEY AND IS NOW APOLOGIZING TO ME.
SHOULD I CONTINUE WITH SUCH A MAN?
ANSWER.
What he did was very bad, but we don’t know the circumstances that led to him spending such money.
If he has been a responsible man in other areas, I’ll counsel you that it is not enough for you to divorce him. One thing I have noticed among couples is that if it is the woman that is carrying out the responsibilities of the home, God will be prospering her business. You will agree with me that it is not just by your strength that you have been able to do all that you’ve done for your family. Keep doing it, the LORD will continue to bless you.
However, since he betrayed your trust in spending the fees of the daughter, he should not be given such assignment in the future. The fees may be transferred to the school account for instance.
Finally, if you divorce your husband because he is not working presently, you may not be able to predict the kind of man you will marry next. He may be financially better off but could be the type of husband that will not let you know peace at home or that would make you to go bankrupt.
As much as you can, keep your husband and pray that God will continue to prosper you.
