Throwing this out to everyone. Except SeattleUte whom we already know makes less than his wife.

I read a news report from Japan that a guy committed suicide when his wife started making more money than him.

She did before our first daughter was born. Now she's in the home where she belongs.

I'd throw a party.

I was speaking to my brother-in-law about dating in DC, and he feels a bit intimidated by the relatively career-minded Mormon women.

I told him, don't worry, it's a balance, most do fine, and daycare for your children isn't as bad as it sounds!

My wife decided to be a stay at home mom because she experienced daycare as a child and hated it.

Same thing happened to me. It was great.

My mom had a daycare in our house while I was growing up.

Seeing it firsthand for many years of my life I saw the impact and the difference having a parent in the home and not in the home has.

I'm not making a judgement either way, as I'll always support my future Mrs if she decides she wants to pursue a career, but if I had a choice it would be that she stays at home to take care of the kids.

My wife makes more than I do and has for the entire length of our courtship and marriage. I am very proud of her.

Only in my dreams. The thought that my wife might want to be gainfully employable is a pipe dream.

My wife makes slightly less than me but net out the alimony I pay and she makes substantially more. Alimony is not taxable income, it's not even a deduction. Waters probably thought that was a jab, but it's not to me. She's also 14 years younger than me, so, yes, she's a superstar.
