I have recently enrolled my wife for a degree programme with a local university. She is bright and she never got a chance to further her studies because her family did not have money. Her degree programme is good and is equally empowering like mine.
I am concerned what my friends keep telling me, they say I have made the biggest blunder in life by educating her. Their take is once she becomes powerful and educated she will start disobeying and disrespecting me. I have ignored it but I sometimes wonder if they are right. I always worry if my wife will remain the same. – Loving Daddy
Dear Loving Daddy
Your wife will never be the same again when she finishes her studies. She will be an empowered and educated woman – and it will all be thanks to you. Education does not turn someone into a deviant person. It boosts a person’s confidence and skill.
Your friends are scared and threatened by an educated woman because they may be less educated themselves. They fear someone with knowledge. The fact that you have made that decision to educate your wife shows your own level of education. You are in a league of your own; you are a man of quality who is not afraid of equality.
If you feel ashamed of your wife being educated more than you are, then go for another level yourself. But really it should not embarrass you that she becomes more educated than you. What you want is a partner who you share ideas with, a partner who is educated enough to offer advice and share the responsibility of providing for your family.
If your wife is humble and respectful, she will remain like that for as long as you love her the way you do. There is no reason for her to look down upon the same man who empowered her with the gift of learning. Never doubt supporting and loving your wife. You are an epitome of the true man of quality all women need for this to be a better world. – Aunty Lisa
