What if wife earns more

To improve his man's health a wife should leave her job. After all she was doing it for betterment of her hubby's health. What a funny conclusion.

There is a finding that if the wife earns more, couple's health suffers.

I guess it is the basic insecurity that is responsible. Man is traditionally supposed to be the one who brigs in the income, so when roles are reversed in some cases there would be misunderstanding and the resultant unhappiness. In some cases it may be overt and in some subtle which either way affects the health of a marriage.

I think conclusion is not right. This depends on situation and varies on every individual.

I think, this could also be an ego problem. Men are always known to dominate their women and when the women are earning more than them, it will certainly hurt their minds. A hurt mind is more powerful than a hurt body, be it in the positive or negative sense.

Still now many people think so that only men have rights to earn. This is wrong and women proved that they are equal in many steps.

I have met so many colleagues who are females and are married. I think the women get the problem during their pregnancy only and sometimes as they are more conscious about their children, so they prefer to live at home.

You are right. They sacrifice for the children. For this they are Mother. Hats off to all mothers.

I also have seen and personally know many such families where the mothers have quit their jobs just to concentrate on the studies of their kids. A mother is indeed a form of "shakti". I really appreciate such mothers. Salute to such moms!

Biologically woman is more capable of nurturing the child, however when there is need these traditional roles can always be changed.But people get conditioned to these ideas and men tend to think that a woman should stay at home and look after the child and it is her duty to do so.If the woman does not have the aptitude for such a thing she is not going to be happy being just a stay at home wife/mother.I know of many mothers who are happier working full time even if the children are very small....either way there could be problems, through husbands or children.But what it boils down to is the way society has made us believe that a woman is meant to carry on the tradition of home maker and that she is suited to do that and her aim in life is just that ....

Now the wife earning more or senior to her husband is common in government service. When husband and wife both are employed in government service or anywhere else, there is likelihood that the wife may get an opportunity to earn more and be her husband's senior. In such cases, husbands also easily reconcile to this fact and lead normal life. One of my colleague's wife passed a departmental exam and she got promotion accordingly and became her husband's senior. The husband reconciled to this.

I know a couple where the wife is the boss of her husband in the office. So, obviously she is earning more than her husband. If there is an understanding between the couple, I don't see why there should be an ego problem.

Earning of both is very useful because of expensiveness. If we want Children's future bright and able to run your home prefectly, then it is necessary

I have a friend who works in a private company. He fell in love with a girl there and married her. He says that the salary she draws is very helpful to their family as it is expensive living in the city. Good point that you made.

A man may not like that his wife to be superior to him in this context at all. Since ages a woman has been referred to as the home-maker and the man as the bread-earner of the family. A man's ego is (by nature) hurt when he has to work under his wife while he had always read and seen it the other way round since childhood.

Ashiiji, as a husband, I never advocate what you say. On the contrary, I am inspiring my wife to work with me (and I will be happy if she does better than me). I am my wife's mentor and as our tradition the victory of a guru is in the defeat from his disciple. These may be heavy words in the common man's context, but I never think on the terms as you said. Of course, I am not crossing your thoughts, just speaking out my mind.

Gone are the days when it was so- I have couple of examples in my place itself without problems whatsoever.
My wife earns more than me (NOW), no problem
my daughter gets more than my SIL, again no problem. All goes to same combined pockets so what could be the reason of conflict?

These are the changing times of today. And with the costs of the things ever growing, it is necessary to have a helping hand as well. So, no worries about a wife earning more than a husband. By the way, what is SIL?

Short form of son- in -law buddy. They both work for Australian broadcasting corporation as Java developers.

I respect your thoughts Abhijit (ADB in short :) ) and would love to see every man thinking the same way. It might not be happening at your home or at your neighbor's but the reality is it does happen in many households. Maybe the factor is not always the man's way of thinking or his understanding level with her wife but the society or the colleagues.
