Yes but does that mean all women shouldn't drive and all men must pay all the bills?  Are you not being Catholic,  if you don't do it this way?
If there is truly a legitimate need for a woman to drive and pay the bills, then of course it would be alright. For example, if children need to be picked up from somewhere and the husband is sick or unavailable, or if he is working overtime and forgot to pay a bill that has a deadline, etc.

One is only a non-Catholic through heresy, schism or apostasy, not immorality or going against Catholic custom.

I agreed with most of this post, accept I don't understand why women should not drive or a husband has to physically pay the bills.  A man should bring home the money to pay the bills, but actually going on the internet and transferring funds, does that really have to be done by the man?

Such a task is completely in line with feminine nature. Women are concerned with the good of the home and what is within it. Men are concerned about the outside world, the broader good of society, and interfacing with it. Sounds like a great helpmate-to-a-man chore to me.

Mom handled the routine finances. Large or unusual purchases, Dad had the final say. Both drove.  Unless Dad was expected to do the grocery and household shopping, taking kids to school, to Girl Guides, baseball practice, doctor and dental appointments…Mom did local driving, Dad did the driving on longer trips and through big cities.

Do you really think a woman would willingly enter a marriage knowing it is going to be an unhappy one?


Yes. I 100 percent do.

Especially if they don't like their home situation, or they know they are getting past their prime.

Think Charlotte Lucas from Pride and Prejudice. I know it's fictional, but there is some truth to it.
