QUESTION NO 4: HANDLING A LAZY HUSBAND

What can a woman do if the husband is not working and the woman has been financing the family for a long time?

 

It must be stressed according to 2Thessalonians 3:10 and 1Timothy 5:8 that a Christian husband must be industrious and work in order to feed his family and be responsible in the society.

 

However, there must have been a fundamental problem if a man has not been working for a long time, and his wife has been financing the family. Such questions as the following need to be answered:

i. Is it that the man couldn’t find employment?

ii. Is it that the man is lazy and not willing to work?

iii. Is it that the man has a health challenge preventing working?

iiii. Is it that the man is under-employed?

v. Is it that the man is looking down on some works as degrading?

 

A matured Christain Counsellor could be consulted to help unearth and proffer Solution to this issue

 

2Thessalonians 3:10 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.

1Timothy 5:8 But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.
