my wife has higher take home pay

O the contrary I would feel proud that I have married a person that capable.The earnings are proportionate to the responsibilities she will have and I think it a good thing.In a partnership it does not necessarily have to be equal shares.One can and usually is the senior partner.It is the same with a marriage.What difference does it make when the wife is the senior earner and partner?

It's good to know that there is someone with a higher earnings. However I would never appreciate that because it will surely hurt my ego. Hence I would never ever marry someone who will go for job after marriage. I would like to marry someone who can take care of my family,kids & me. Happy Lotting

welcome to the wonderful world of mylot. i am never going to be intimidated. i appreciate how ood my wife is. she is a professional singer and we met when we needed a band singer for our band. i play bass guitar. she is really a good singer and i know how that talent is payed. now that we have a three year old son she choose to be a 24/7 wife and hands on mother. its heart breaking for me to see her talent at rest but of course i also appreciate what she wanted to do. so back to the topic of having a higher pay she deserves it.

hi bart, This is a time of equality and many of the old traditions and values are falling on side ways and new things are coming up.. though i am female but i know most male feel threaten if their wife earns more than him.. this hurts their ego but not everyones ego.. so for me a man marries a girl becase he loves her and not because her purse is heavier than his and he should be happy that his wife is earning good as this money is finally coming in home.

I do not know if my husband really get intimidated given the fact that I got high pay than him. We did not argue about that ever and we are okay with the st-up. We considered both of our earnings are shared resources to pay the bills and for other expenses and we both are not calculative on who is earning much than other. It helps also the my husband is not egoistic as other husbands are. He also is the one who manage our finances as he knows how to handle money well and it's fine with me. As long as you have mutual understanding in all things including financial matter, it will not be an issue to both of you.

I absolutely feel like that shouldn't matter because at the end of the day she is your wife and bills are getting paid with her help and together you share the same roof over your heads don't invite unwanted tension within yourself and turn it outward (not saying you're doing it but that has potential to come out). In any case, you're thinking over something so small, be glad her boss is paying her her worth (I have no idea what she does) because wouldn't you feel upset if she was being cinched on her salary. Now that's more important to think about.
