I think cognizant has the worst HRs, like i dropped an email a couple of weeks ago to re-negotiate my offer but they didn't care to respond. I dropped an email saying I am withdrawing my offer and they still didn't care to respond. Why are they hiring if they don't care? Deloitte USI Tata Consultancy Wipro Accenture India Infosys

A man can lead more than just financially. There’s spiritual leadership, physical leadership, emotional and overall vision that you can provide. Build those areas up if they aren’t already. If you have one of them it’s likely that’s what she’s attracted to you for in the first place.Just don’t be a financial liability and I’m sure you’ll be fine.
Agree with this and would also add- you can still be wise with finances and be a good steward of your families resources. It sounds like your wife has an excellent handle on financial management and you can join that and learn to manage money well in addition to tithe, charity, spending and saving habits etc. You will still have many choices throughout your married life in home purchase, raising kids, medical decisions etc. that can be impacted by how you manage finances. Don’t think it’s all set - it will always be ongoing!
God is the one that provides for you and your fiance. Just be thankful that He has blessed you so greatly, and do your best to be a humble, responsible steward of these resources as you glorify Him in everything that you do!
Yes to all of the advice above!
1) When God calls men to be leaders he is not merely talking about money - he is REALLY speaking to being the spiritual head of the household. Please keep God first and get into your Bible and allow it to guide you and your new family. When Jesus talked about leadership he spoke about having the heart of a servant, how can you lead your family in servitude as a man of God?
2) Acknowledge the blessing you have in a partner who is bringing financial blessings into the marriage; so many people no matter the age wish they were given this grace
3) You are young; you ability to provide will increase as your skills + expertise increase
4) If you’re not sure how to navigate personal finance and build for the life you want now is the time to learn and use this knowledge to steward your family!
God Bless and congratulations 🎉
Coming in late but I encourage you to also get very grounded in Proverbs 31 and the women in the Bible. As others have said, being the head is more than financial or provision, but also consider that being a godly wife is more than dependency. The Proverbs 31 wife has property and manages the business of her household well. Women in the New Testament funded the early church and supported missions. God has blessed her and you are blessed thru that as well. Think about how you take the lead in keeping both your hearts on God and serving Him with His abundance.
Thank you all for the encouragement, something it up yes very fortunate just making sure I am navigating everything biblically. It is something that I did not know about her until we were engaged so it came as a surprised.
I will continue to strive to lead us to God not away. Luckily that has been a pillar and central in our relationship.

But not a crazy amount. It is in my head a little bit more stepping into a marriage with the question how can I provide for my wife. I want to be the head of the household at the same time it’s just a a crazy thought to me how much money already is accumulated and we are only 26.
When I think of me providing for my family I financially. And I know that’s not the only thing I can provide but that’s for my mind keeps going to.
