The actor also spoke about the challenges many couples face when the woman is the main provider. He said some men become uncomfortable in such situations and begin to feel insecure.
According to him, this often leads to misunderstandings and unnecessary tension in the relationship because the man may start attaching every disagreement to money or status.
Deyemi stated that what matters most to him is being useful and important to his family, regardless of whether he is the one bringing in the larger income or not.
He said his main desire is to always remain valuable in his home.
Speaking further, the movie star said he believes men and women have different natural abilities and strengths. He added that both genders contribute differently in relationships and family life.
He said: “I pray, God, please let my wife just hit one million, $10 million per annum. If you see me act… I’ll be a househusband. There’s money. What are you doing again? I find that a lot of men are not comfortable with that dynamic. And so, they’re already hypersensitive.
“Any small thing, ‘Is it because you did this? Is it because of that?’ My only prayer is that as a human being, no gender, no male or female, I should be valuable to my family. I believe that different genders have different strengths. I don’t believe those strengths are equal.”
