Ego destroys the relationship. better go ahead with good thinking. Parents help their Daughter to stand on their own foot. So it is nothing wrong if female earns and after all this will help the family.

Ego is the wall between any two persons. It can never become a bridge. It also works as a knife to cut the relationships and warm feelings that one has towards the others. It is very natural to happen in case of a married couple. I guess, relationship should be given a priority at such times.

Yes Bangal, we should know the value of respect, money and time.

We have many relations here where both are earning. Never i heard from any of them about any disputes regarding income parities. Both Wife and husband are leading a hassle free life
I don't think gender difference should be there for highest earners in the family. Some couples always fight in this issue and mostly wife is consider to earn less than husband in this society..

Nowadays, wives (or women) aren't considered the way you are saying. What you said looks orthodox, though I will agree with you that there are still such families in our society. But that trend is now changing and changing for good. The gender difference will soon vanish.

I am surprised but the solution is very easy in such cases. Let the wife hide her real income to deposit the balance in her own separate account. That would work wonders at a later stage.

I don't think that would be a practical solution to the issue. How would it be possible to hide one's income, and that too from one's better half in real life. It may happen in films and reel life; not in real life.
My husband never feels when Iam earning more. Now he is earning more than me, I also happy only. He gave all the salary to me only. ;) ;)

Exactly- in real life a real man does not mind a working wife earning more than himself and if he does he should either marry a domestic type or take full responsibility of household income.

... that means you are earning more than your hubby :P A successful man is one who can earn more than what his wife can spend (eg. your husband). But a successful woman is one who can find such a man (you). Hahahahaha just a light-hearted comment. Please don't take it seriously or personal.
:) It is not right in all situations, its depends on relations between husband and wife. My wife is earning much more than me but we have any health problem.

B) What is wrong in it if wife is earning more than husband. I am not agree with your theory of a successful man.

:) Attitude of your hubby is right one, he is great and you are lucky.

We think the salary as our salary not my salary. That is the matter.

OUR SALARY? That's something I must certainly salute. When there is a feeling of "we", "us" and "our", life becomes beautiful, isn't it? You look an excellent couple to me.

Thats the way it should be, am not sure if I wrote this earlier, a friend of mine a;lways teases her husband saying that her salary is HER salary where is HIS salary is OUR salary, like when they go out for dinner she tells him , you please pay from OUR salary :cheer:

I used to do that too occasionally when I was working a regular job! :cheer: :laugh: But of course, we shared both our incomes and made each decision about spending it together, do so that even now!

Kalyani, as long as things work it is fine but joint accounts and shared expenditures can pose a problem at times and become the reason for misunderstanding - have heard of so many such cases. Basically what is needed is trust and understanding which either binds the two together or makes them grow apart in some cases..
Husband wife relation is very touchy and even for one lie can break the relation. So we should not hide anything.

Saying 'we should not hide anything' is easy. But in practical life, it is difficult to follow. Such statements are fine for films and TV shows. But that can really spoil the relation unless one is overtly mature to forgive and forget.
