Would you women marry a man who earned less than you?

Question

If you wanted to have children, It would be logical for the higher earner to look after the them in the long term.

Guys, would you be prepared to be in this postion?

Girls, would you respect a man who was willing to be a homemaker, or would you sooner or later resent him for the time he spends with the children? E.g. they go running up to him if they are hurt or upset rather than you.

Sorry s1-bried, the days of men taking care of women are over. We all gotta work these days. You had better be young and want to devote your life to a future family if you want to be in this position with a wealthy man who can support you.

Heres the TRUTH under all the politically correct parroting (with the exception of Red Night and s1-bried)here:

Men are all too aware that women judge men on their occupation, assets and are interested in men of equal or higher status than them, not lower. However these successful women may consider that the higher up the ladder they go, the less men of same or higher status there are. Conversely, men of high status (by women’s standards) have the largest choice of women available. Their only asset he is interested in: feminine beauty.

Personally, I have no interest in being a homemaker, supplimenting the income with P/T work. It is not a mans biological role and the women who understand this will have a much happier marriage.

Answer 1

i wouldn't. i usually lose respect for men who make less than i do. besides i want "me working" be an option because i think men have to take care of women.

Answer 2

I'd think if you are looking for a woman with goals and aspirations you'd find that she will have a nice salary. If you are worried that a woman is only marrying for your money and how do you keep her from it then it probably won't work out. You're setting the marriage up for failure before it's even begun. It shouldn't matter who makes more as long as she has all of the qualities you are looking for. If she's the "perfect" woman for you then she's can't be a gold digger AND have values, morals, and goals. Besides all of that, when your married it should be our money not her's and your money. Keeping finances separate can cause a lot unnecessary fights. A marriage is a partnership, it's all about sharing your life together, including the things in life we all hate like bills.

Answer 3

The roll of a man and woman in a relationship or marriage have changed a lot. In some cases become reversed. So no. I wouldn't mind if I was the breadwinner and my husband the homemaker. As long as my husband doesn't feel inferior to me I would actually prefer not to be at home with kids all day.

Answer 4

As far as financially, I would not mind if the man made less then me as long as he had a job and put in the same percent of his check toward our goals (weather it be saving or bills).

Once the kids arrive, if I am working all day and he doesn't make much, I would prefer him to stay home as opposed to having strangers raise the kids and having to get home late and get started on my motherly duties.

I would definately respect a good father and a "househusband" if he is good at it. But there is a difference between that and a man that sits the kids in front of the tv and sleeps all day.

As long as I don't feel like he is mooching off of me I don't think I would mind.

Answer 5

Yes, I would marry a man who makes less money than me. Obviously there were things about his character, etc, that allowed me to spend time and fall in love with him. I would have to so no one else got him.
Yes, I would respect a man who stayed home and cared for the children. There is not a more difficult job or more rewarding. It it is feasible, someone should stay home with the children if at all possible. The main goal is raising self-reliant, loved, well nurtured children. God bless****.

Answer 6

because love is blind, man is a man he has his duties and women has theirs also, the man should support his family , and work ! women can help them by working and raising the kids ..if he is earning less money it's not a problem unless he wants to just in the house spending her money, but if there is a cause that keeps him from working , like illness or something serious that case i wouldn't mind work day and night to support my family and help him.

Answer 7

I work and my wife stays at home. So yes, I'd be prepared to do it. Love shouldn't have a crass monetary rider attached to it's implementation.

Answer 8

I don't think it makes any diference in these days who the breadwinner is. I certainly wouldn't be upset.

Answer 9

yes i would there nothing wrong with that situation unless ur girlfriend is a gold digger then u got a problem

Answer 10

yes , i would his money dosent really matter to me as long as hes not trying to live off me, but i would like to be making lots of money
