Jane_Doe Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 8 hours ago, dadveale said: should wife take tithing out of husband wage to page tithing for her self if she is not working A person is not obligated to tithe on any income other than their own. If somoene's income is $0, that's $0 * 10% = $0 in tithing. Sunday21 and JohnsonJones 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zil Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 (edited) 18 hours ago, dadveale said: should wife take tithing out of husband wage to page tithing for her self if she is not working This should be decided between the husband and wife, preferably prayerfully. I'm guessing that in your scenario, the wife is a member and the husband is not (or is not active, or does not wish to pay tithing)? Once the couple have agreed, the wife can explain the agreement to the bishop. In most families I know of, the income of the couple is treated as theirs, not as only the wage-earmer's, though I know there are different attitudes here. Regardless of anything else, the tithe is 10% of the money, not 10% per person who benefits from that money (just in case there was any confusion about that).

An Investigator Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 My husband isn't a member, I tithe on my income, if I wasn't working then I would only pay fast offering and I would still be classed as a full tithe payer, according to my Bishop Sunday21 and zil 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeuroTypical Posted January 8, 2018 Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 Is this a situation where you are not a member, dadveale, and your wife is, and she's trying to tithe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alternately, just send everyone to see their bishops. Their bishops hold the keys in this scenario and can instruct them in the law of tithing and how it's obeyed. The law of the tithe can be found in scripture and is perfectly clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand why the husband and wife aren't paying tithing as a unit -- you know "being one" and all that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warnerfranklin Posted January 31, 2018 Report Share Posted January 31, 2018 Like others said you should talk with your husband. But there are other ways you can tithe. If I remember my church history correctly early members of the church in Kirtland and Navuoo helped with temple work once every ten days. Likewise, perhaps you could assist with service projects or provide rides to your stake assigned missionaries or find a calling if you don’t have one already. You would then be tithing your time and abilities which are of infinite value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
