Do you think women who earn more than their hubby give the same respect?

Hi krupesh, Women these days have their own dreams, pursue their own career, and earn their own money, but they still value marriage/good and lasting relationship, and appreciate a good husband/partner. To me it doesn't matter if my husband/partner earns less, what is important is that he plays his part of the partnership, like doing his share in the houseworks, remaining faithful, and not feeling threatened by my success. If he continues to love me and support me rather than bring me down, he'll even gain more respect from me. I'll see him as the "wind beneath my wings", and when I soar, I'll make sure he's with me.

I think that it's something we got used to over the years; the man brings in the money and the woman stays at home with the kids. Ever since women start to work aswell and ever since there have been stay-at-home-dads this has been a topic of debate. Come to think of it; salaries are still not the same for men and women. If a women does exactly the same job as a man she will still earn less. It might be a small difference, but scientific research has shown that women are in this way still discriminated. Also, the reason why many woman aren't employed in the top bussiness positions is because most of them refuse to work full-time. If you want a big carreer the first couple of years it seems essential to work full-time. With that said... I am and will be making more money than my boyfriend does. I have a higher education and a better paying job, and I am still studying to get a higher education as a pedagogue. If all goes well I will be earning aprox. 3 times his salary. He doesn't feel bad about it; we run our household together and I love to study and work. He gives me this oppertunity by doing more in the household etc. It's wonderfull.

From my experience what I can say that we never love or respect in terms of money. Money is not a matter for love and respect. The relation of wife and husband is depend on the mutual love, understanding and affection. Earnings will be secondary. A husband or wife in the real sense will love each other even if they are not earning anything.

If men treated them badly before as they are the only bread winners,then the woman may tend to treat him like that when she started to earn more.After all,she is paying back in the same coins.But,if the man treated her with love and care,then she will not act rude and arrogant as you have told.Cheers!

Hello, if the couple love each other and share their joys and sorrows together,and have done so in the past, then I dont think wife's earning more will make any difference in the respect she will have towards her partner. Only love matters and not money

Hi krupesh, this is a serious answer. If I had a daughter, and if I had to get her a match, I would definitely look for a guy who is earning more than her. I wouldn't want her job to become a bone of contention between the two of them. In love marriages, may be the adjustment is possible. But in arranged marriages, I do think other people comment on it, and it works on mind, even if the couple do not really have any issues about it. And unwittingly, the wife becomes dominant, which is further heightened by the husband's resentment. And the husband starts hearing slights where none exist. Sad but true. Sorry for being so honest.

Well, I'm not speaking from straight experience here, but I would NOT treat a husband any less respectivly just because he wasn't making as much money as me. Money is not any reason to marry someone, so it's not going to effect the way I look at him whether he is making more or less of it.

I think so, should I'll be earning more than my hubby, I'll just be the same wife to him and I'll be giving him the more respect and let him feel he's still the husband I love so much.

I think both people in the relationship can share in the success of the other person even though she makes more than him. I respect my gf even though I make more money than her. She said she would respect me if you made more money than me. So no worries for me.
