It's easier to marry your first million than to make it.
Well said. Finding the right woman is probably not so easy, however.

Sometimes, these things happen by force, not choice. My husband has been unable to work for about 10 years due to severe illness. I am the sole breadwinner. Even though, there is no way on earth he could work, I know he finds it deeply degrading. The truth is, I don't make a lot of money, so we make do, but it is certainly tough being a single income family on what I bring home. My husband was in college when he became ill, and if he had been able to continue and meet his career goals, then he would most likely have been the one going out to work, and i would have stayed home. I think that if i made enough that we could live COMFORTABLY on my income, and he CHOSE to stay home and take care of the family, he would be fine with that. But in this situation, knowing that things would be better if he COULD work, and just cannot, is , as i said, is quite degrading to him.
I think the converse is the bigger question: "Women: Would it bother you if you were the breadwinner of the family?"
If it's good enough for this guy, it's good enough for me...

That says it best. Next month we have our 37th and I would love to stay home and let my wife work outside the house for a change!No, because my wife IS the primary bread winner in our home. My historical tailoring business really doesn't bring in much income. We couldn't care less who makes more money. What difference does that make to how we feel about one another and what we do with our income? It goes into one bank account and gets used for whatever we want or need. It does amaze me how such a thing can ruin some relationships.
