Should a husband make more money than his wife?

Not nessecarily. A marriage is a partnership. As long as both partners are happy and contributing to the family dynamic, it should work out fine. There are plenty of stay-at-home Mom's who contribute in many ways besides monetarily... they are still contributing to the well-being of the family, they are no less important or helpful just because they aren't earning money. Why compare who's paycheck is the biggest as long as everyone is contributing? JMO

nothing will happen both will enjoy

I don't think so. As long as the husband have any ego problems with his wife earning more than him,it's fine.

I have consistently made more than my husband since we've been married. I've had a kid. I had maternity leave for 2 months. I got PAID while I was on maternity leave. So our income didn't hurt. I don't think it really matters.

It depends.Attitude changes from person to person.

mmmmm...not neccasary...allr eql..no one z superior..no one z inferior..cheers..bbye

Shouldn't matter who makes more...

Let any body earn but the money should come to the family and there should be harmony. But no jealousy.

there is no such law..

both people are earning for the family and ultimate result is the welfare of the family.so it does not matter acording to me if wife earns more or husband earns more...

I don't think so, as long as they have an understanding then it is ok. I started a new job at home and I can easily be making more than my husband in about a year or two it doesn't matter to us at all. It all goes to our family.

My husband is looking forward to when I'm done school, so that WE will be making more money-and I think that's the key. WE make money, collectively. I have had jobs that paid more than his, and he has had jobs that pay more than mine. The goal is to continue to earn the same as or more than a previous job/positon within a company so we can keep up with the cost of living, buy necessities and eventually start a family. The only time either of us would be concerned with making more than the other is if/when one of us choses to stay home with children and run the household-and as pointed out in an earlier post, tht is just as important as providing financially for a family. In fact, in a way, raising your children is almost like a paid job if you consider what you are not spending on childcare as a result. It saves you money that can be used for other family needs.

not so sure but both can make a gud money if wife is earnig more wht the problen and if hsband is earing more its gud

Actually i'm not married yet but husband should always make more money than wife as it will make the more respectable in society.If wife makes more money than her husband then a ray of arrogance,generally,arises in her mind that she can live all alone also i mean she is not totally depending on him.This will surely create disturbance sooner or later in their married life.

Ideally, yes, and this is why. When they have a child, she may want to stay home for a while, but if she is the primary bread-winner and they have grown accoustomed to her salary, then she will not be able to leave her job. When she cries every morning because she has to leave her infant, she may suddenly realize that she has the heart and feelings of a woman, after all. And she may resent her husband, too, for not affording her the opportunity to raise her child.

Nothing happen. To whom they are earning. For themselves only, so nothing will happen except participation action rests with the high earner.

it shudnt b ne prop after all the money will b spent by their family a stheir whole so if the wife is earning more it will also benefit thw whole family

as long as they are both happy and enough money comes, in, then its all fine

it shouldn't matter. we don't live in that type of era where the man works all day and the woman stays home and cooks, cleans, raises the kids anymore.

If you feel guilty about "where's my paycheck," there are tons of options from work at home sites. I would reccomend for you try mymommybiz.com. Another is busy moms; not sure if it's busymoms, bizymoms, or what, but mymommy is a good start.
