It seems like the internet debates relationship topics every other day. When it comes to going 50/50 in a relationship- a lot of people have mixed feelings and Tyler Perry is no different.
During a recent interview, the media mogul shared his opinion on splitting bills in a relationship. He began, “a lot of women, especially Black women, and I might get in trouble for saying this but I will,” he utters. “In our society right now, Black women are making a lot more money, for the most part, than Black men.” Perry continued, “If you can find love, if that man works at whatever job and is a good man, and is good to you, and honors you, and honors the house, and honors his wife, and does what he can… because his gift might not be your gift, that is okay. That’s not somebody that’s beneath you. That’s somebody who came to love you at your worth.”
“As long as he’s secure in himself to know that ‘yeah, she makes most of the money, all I can pay is the light bill.’ As long as she’s comfortable enough to say ‘I’m gonna cover the mortgage and all the other stuff’ that is fine.”
Tyler explains that money is in no comparison to the love split between two people. “I know people whose men can’t touch what they make, but when you see them together? That love, that support, that ‘I got you, babe,’ it’s a beautiful thing.”
