Yes, I believe he should always pay. Men are created to be the protectors and providers and by always paying shows he takes that role very seriously.
I just heard that most men like the women to pay at least half. They are becoming more and more selfish and falling farther away from wanting to protect and provide for a woman. {Part of the problem exists, I believe, because women don't want to be protected and provided for anymore.}
A new study said that when household jobs are split between men and women, the divorce rate is 50% over those who have clearly defined roles. These roles are that a woman's main job is to take care of the home and the man's is to provide.
These are ideal situations and I know life isn't ideal but we should always strive for the ideal. Life works better for men and women where there are clearly defined roles. The woman's main role is to be a keeper at home and raise children if she has them {the nester and the nuturer} and the man is the provider and protector. These roles are clearly spelled out in Scripture and God's ways always work best.
The majority of little girls love playing with baby dolls and mothering them. If you asked them what they want to be when they grow up, many would say a mommy. Young women are no longer comfortable responding this way. They want to be a nurse or teacher, etc. which are all honorable professions but being a mom, in my opinion, is the best.
So, what do you think...Do you think a man should always pay?
But if any man does not provide for his own,
and especially for those of his
household,
he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
1 Timothy
5:8
Young woman...To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good,
obedient to their own
husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.

Do you think that a man should always be the one to initiate a date?

I am currently the one earning the income in our family - it doesn't cause any problems as my husband is having a change of career and this is my way of supporting him. I am also the keeper of our home and of our adult children and I don't expect my husband to do these things, even though he is currently at home.

Fast forward a few years and we're married and both working, without any children (we're not ready for kids yet). We combined our finances, so to me, it really doesn't matter who takes out the credit card and pays for the meal when we go out, as it is "our" money -- not just his or not just mine, but ours. We're both responsible for our well-being. When we do decide to have kids, I may have to continue working. I would like to work only part-time, but that just might not be possible due to job situations as I'm currently the one who earns more money. I don't think this makes my husband any less of a man or a provider for us, it just means that life is not necessarily ideal and we have to do what we have to do in order to make ends meet.
Plus, my husband and I share housework between the two of us. There are some days where I work a non-traditional schedule and come home around 7:30 or 8:00 in the evening and my husband will cook dinner for us and have cleaned the house. Then, there are other days when my husband will come home and I will have dinner waiting for him and the house will be nice and clean.
Trust me, I'm not a troll but I am a Christian and I believe in the Bible. However, some couples can't have clearly defined roles in their marriages and that is okay. That doesn't mean that the couple is any less Christian or that their marriage is doomed to fail. It just means that they have to do things a little differently for a while.
