Haha... It's funny you mentioned the bills. My wife is Filipina and in the Philippines the women control the money in the household. Period. End of story. The husband makes the money, the wife pays the bills, then the husband gets an allowance. That is an absolute in the culture.

When my wife came to Canada and we got married I knew her culture and said I would happily give her the task of doing the bills. I just asked that I show her how to do it for three months so she would know what needed to be done.

After 3 months she said "No. You do it. I don't want that job".....and I've been doing it for the last 23 years.

As for household repairs....she's learned I'm terrible at it and she is very pleased when she fixes things around the house.

Thanks for reading and replying. Appreciate it.
