Who cares either way. One is obviously going to make more than the other. That’s inevitable. As long as you’re able to support your lifestyle, pay bills, and save, I don’t see the issue.
I am the breadwinner for my family. We have a pretty big family too 😆 I truly enjoy making money. Wouldn't have it another way.
My husband fuels my ambition :)
Maybe but I like being taken care of.
I am a female and prefer my hubs making more:). Better for his ego too …. sorry that’s old fashioned but very true for many men. we both have brought significant items to the table so to speak in our financials so I know he recognizes that but loves being the breadwinner

Seriously, why would this matter? Most households need passive income on top of 2 incomes. You do what you can.
I’m female. Make way more. I think it bothers him slightly, but he loves his job and I’m jealous of that (my job isn’t bad, but I sure as hell don’t love going to work everyday like he does). So in all, I don’t care (nor do I think he ultimately does) who makes more or how much, so long as we can live they way we want to and we’re happy.
Sure. I’m an independent consultant as is he. Sometimes I make more, sometimes he does. No big deal. We’re in this relationship as a team.
Of course. I make about 40% more than my husband. When one of us wins, we both win. We are a team.
We are a family unit and a team so … it’s more so about what we collectively make. I think it’s petty and … kind of superficial to care about details like that especially since it’s not feasible to live as a family on one persons income. Larger questions would be preference on gender roles which more so could impact the financial outcomes but… still … answer remains for me. One family, one house, one bank account. We’re a team.
