Nigerian Marriage Counsellor Claims Women’s Respect for Husbands Declines When They Become Providers

 Safiyyah Kassim, a certified marriage counsellor and educator, has sparked debate with her recent statement about marital dynamics. Kassim, who has been married for 18 years, shared on Facebook that a woman’s respect and submissiveness towards her husband tend to diminish if she becomes the primary provider for the family.

Kassim’s post, made on Monday, July 1, 2024, addresses the modern expectation placed on women to balance being both submissive partners and primary earners. She highlighted the challenges faced by today’s generation of men who expect their wives to fulfill these dual roles.
