The first two years of our marriage I earned more than my hubby. He was in the Air Force. Believe me he had no problem with it.

My sister-in-law has always earned more than her hubby. She has a Masters Degree in education and he never even went to college. I think her success and his lack of education had an intimidating effect on him at times and there was maybe a little guilt there too. I think a lot of men just might like to feel that they are the main breadwinners and their egos are hurt when they are not. He tried to double his efforts to please in other efforts which I always thought was his way of *making up the difference." If each partner is happy with the arrangement that's what matters!
