Hello!
This issue bothers many men...mostly their ego's. But it's OK, really, you don't have to do anything. Just be proud of your wife!
Don't worry yourself about this. If it doesn't bother her, don't let it bother you. Be grateful that you have a job.
I hope this helped.
Take care! :)

It doesn't matter that you are earning less than your wife. You are married and it all goes to the same place anyway, the bank. I am not sure what your question was really. But it shouldn't be a big issue. Maybe your pride is a little hurt but don't let it bother you. There are many couples that the woman makes more. That's a good thing.

I guess you meant to type; What should I do when I earn less money than your wife? Well, the only thing you can do is get a better paying job or get a second job. Question for you, why does it matter? Has your wife complained? As long as you are making an honest living it shouldn't matter.

What does it matter the money is hared anyways so why be jealous or upset that she makes more then you. I know if my wife made more then me I would be cool extra income to spoil each other with. Don't be such a moron alot of independant minded women today make more money then alot of men. It's
commonly known that women mature faster then men and therefore tend to be more intelligent at a younger age meaning
they are better in school and get better careers. Live it up atleast
both of you have jobs stop your whining.

Live with it. Dose it matter who makes the most money, you will both spent it together. Just be happy she has a job, and wants to work. Look at all the other men out there who have wife's who either don't work or can't keep a job.

I've always earned more than my husband; it's not a big deal. It's only an issue if your self esteem is measured by how much money you make or if you're generally insecure; that's not your wife's problem, it's yours.

If you guys really love each other it shouldn't matter.
If she earned less than you would you care?
During a marriage things are always changing...who knows which one will be earning the most in another year or two...nothing ever stays the same.

Is your wife complaining about earning more than you if not, forget it.
There are a lot of husbands that stay at home and or house husbands. Best of luck

So, she did not marry you because of the amount of money you make. Or at least I hope not. Have a blessed Christmas and a joyous New Year! God bless****

Obtain a joint checking and savings account.
Use your income to cover the bills (all or most of them).
Use her income for savings and living expenses.
