It is not necessary that the man has more income. But I would not mind. I am a women of 42. I have a boyfriend of 44. I am the one that has the most income. But, it sure would be nice if he had more. LOL!!! Take care.

Lol. Yes, but on the other hand, for a man it is nice too. Why should it only be from one side. Being happy together is the main thing. Take care.

In my opinion, it's not necessary. If you have commitment to each other that you both will do your best to earn money for your little family to support your own family. I don't know what others think. It could be different than me.

It is not necessary but desirable that men make more money than women. Not for women but for men themselves :) There are many ambitious women out there but I think men always expect to get more and, as to ambitious men, it hurts their feelings if a woman makes more money. Does not apply to everyone but a certain type of people-I knew a guy who almost had a fit when told that his wife might've become his boss. He thought it was depriving him of his manhood. I don't really care,as long as we are able to support ourselves and have a little extra to live the good life.

Hi Shine :) It is not necessary men's income should be higher that women's, but it is much better IF the men's income higher. Because, its a tradition. Because, income will reflect the title or stage where we are. It can be also reflect to our education. But, not everyone will judge people on their income. I'm myself, doesn't really care about the income who's higher than whom, if its for a couple in love its good for sharing to build the future. So, don't be so worry.. Just don't lower yourself..
