My husband was like this and the pastor is right it was a bad marriage. Ultimately I learned it was more important that my husband had all his wants met before anything including myself and his childrens needs. I didn’t really make that much, could’ve cut back, could’ve spent less and maybe worked another 10 hours per week we’d been fine. It’s been a not very good 30 yr marriage so far.
That husband has a wife who is living in a fantasy world. He should leave her to show her what it is like to pay the bills by herself. Mark has lived in a fantasy world where he makes a living off donations.
Proverbs 31 describes an extremely busy woman for her husband: "She does him good, not harm, all the days of her life." It's arbitrary to say that she isn't supposed to do any work involving generating an income, and it's unbiblical. "She considers a field and buys it" is related to a decision on a monetary investment with work involved on the research side, but that's just an example to say, yes, she can work in ways related to making money, certainly in conjunction with her husband. If her husband can tell his wife to research investments as we see the Proverbs 31 woman doing -- clearly a task directly related to earning money and/or material provision -- exactly what demands that she is not to be his "suitable helper" in other ways related to earning money? Also, God didn't give Adam a specific curse that doesn't also apply to Eve. Adam was the only one of the two to whom God said "to dust you will return" in addition to the curse of the great pain that would occur from getting food out of the ground; it's an arbitrary and baseless assertion to demand that one of these two curses to Adam only applies to men, unless you want to assert that likewise men are the only ones who actually die and return to dust (remember, God didn't tell Eve that would happen to her), just as it's arbitrary to grant that his curse was a metaphor even for men who never literally work the fields a single day in their lives and yet do other sorts of highly challenging (and painful) work and yet it can't possibly apply to any work that a woman does; the Proverbs 31 woman's work surely has its share of "pain" just like any man's, being far away from the situation Eve had in the garden of Eden. If all that somehow weren't enough, if "Adam's curse" didn't apply to women, it should be every bit as impossible for a woman to experience his curse as it is for a man to experience multiplied pain in childbirth, whereas the reality is that if a woman doesn't have someone else to do work for her, then she's surely doing it herself. The "provider" business is overly glorified. Nobody literally provides everything for himself or others unless you're alone in the wild (even then, it's the Lord Who yields the actual fruits of one's labor). People are generally part of larger equations where we have trades and MANY people do the actual providing of various needs for a given individual, and the position of a married woman is no different.
Again Grace is acting high and drunk. If you can’t make the bills on one income, your wife should work. If your wife won’t work at a job, leave her to show her the real world. When she sees how hard it is to pay the bills on her own, she will change her tune. My husband and I do not have kids at home, and we have no debt. We have to both work to make ends meet. Mark has a cushy job where he makes a living off donations.

When u have a man that lets you be in your feminine I suppose real happiness might seem high and drunk. Just because you chose a non traditional path doesn't mean u have to hate on other ladies

That husband seems to lack understanding and wisdom in many areas of life. May God send much help to that family!
Many blessings! 🙏🏽

And what if the kids are all 18+ years old?

I feel like the wife sent in this question so she could show him the response 😂
