Irrespective of our tall claims of gender equality,there's an overwhelming belief in society that the man is the primary breadwinner and the woman the homemaker.This often leads to a major friction when the woman rakes in more moolah than the male.While we comfort ourselves that money has nothing to do with love,very often an imbalanced paycheck causes damage to a relationship.Is the income of your spouse actually that significant to make or mar your relationship?If you are a man, will you be affected if your wife earns more?If you're a wife,would your respect for your man plunge if he earns less than you?

first of all in our family women dont usually work if they dont need to. But still if my wife works and earns more than me i dont have any problem with that. It must be because she is more capable to do that and I am not. Or may be i am saying this because i am not into such a situation at the moment. I may change my mind later when i will see that i am useless and my wife is the main earner at home. But as of now i think it will not matter to me that much.
