Relationship Advice: How to Cope with the Challenge of Wife Making More Money Than Husband

A recent feature on Fox News told us about the growing trend among young newlywed couples for the wife to earn more money than the husband.

My first thought was “And how is this a problem, and for whom?”

Apparently it’s a big problem for some.

Wisdom of Darren Stevens

Are you familiar with the old 1960s TV sitcom “Bewitched” starring Elizabeth Montgomery? He still appears from time to time on Nick at Nite and was made into a movie a few years ago.

If you’re not familiar with the plot, here it is: Darren and Samantha Stevens are a typical 1960s couple, with Darren as the architect husband and Samantha as the beautiful housewife. The only wrinkle is that Samantha has this unique ability to wiggle her nose and make anything happen and/or appear out of nowhere and Darren tries to get her to stop using her abilities and be “normal.”

Did you get that last line? Here is a man who has a wife who could get them anything they want and he was trying to make her stop!

Don’t be a Darren Stevens!

Even when I was a little kid in the 60’s I thought Darren Stevens was a complete idiot!

So my suggestion on how to handle the situation when the wife makes more money than the husband is simply this:

celebrate it and enjoy it!

If you’re a man and you’re intimidated by the fact that your wife makes more money than you, get over it! Get your own ego out of the way and celebrate the gifts of your wife and gift of your wife
