I recently went back to school and am continuing the pursuit of my Education degree (I'd like to teach either middle school or high school), so I know I'll never be rich. However, if I ever did marry, and my prospective husband ended up making a little less than me, I hope he'd be understanding and supportive. I couldn't live with someone who would hold something like a salary difference over my head and make me feel guilty about it.
It would bother me. I was in a relationship where I made more and the sob took advantage. I would prefer if he made more than I do, however, it is not a deal breaking. He needs to make enough to pull his own weight in the relationship. I am not interested in being anyones mother.
I conquer, its like a teenager who has his first job, and the mother is obviously making, more to me. It should be natural for a man to feel emasculated,i mean its just not natural, and if a man feels secure in his wife making more money i don't know something isn't right in that. hum............
If he was as well paid as any one in his profession it shouldn't bother him. I can't see that it would be that much different from marrying a rich guys daughter or working for your father in law.
"WITH GREAT POWER THERE MUST ALSO COME - - GREAT RESPONSIBILITY" Stan Lee,
If she can handle the responsibility, give her the power
I'm not gonna lie, it would bother me because I'm old-fashioned to believe that the man should be the CEO of his household, which includes making the most money. Women who make more than their husbands usually hold it over their heads every chance they get....let an argument break out and that's the first weapon she pulls out

I don't see why it should matter. I've always said I can make my own money. However, it would be nice to have a man around to do the yardwork, fix the car and the toilet and the computer, yada yada yada...

I'd hope you'd want someone as more than a handy man.
Love doesn't pay the bills. I know I would have work. I'd have to be busy. And I am okay with spouse or equivilant making as much or more than me.

It's not "natural"? I didn't realize making money was natural. Eating, sleeping, chasing a mate--sure, those are natural. Earning money is not natural in the least.
I make more than my husband does. Not a lot more, but about 10%. Who gives a rat's *****? We're both just glad we have good jobs that more than pay the bills. It all goes in the same fund anyway, and all purchases are discussed regardless of who is making them or where the money is coming from. If he got a giant pay raise tomorrow and out-earned me, the dynamics of our relationship would not change.
I love my job it is a great job. I know I will never get rich doing it, but I am content and happy doing what I do.
