My wife used to make about 5 times what I made. Now she makes zero. In neither case was wither of our contribution to our marriage based on our respective incomes. Marriage is a partnership to which you bring love, attention, manual labor, your professional skills, and your income. That order is probably about right for how you should prioritize. Sure, my wife made more than me, especially when I was unemployed. But, I spent time looking for work, fixing things around the house, and installing hardwood floors. Now she raises our two children. She may not make any money, but she surely works harder than I do.
I guess what I am saying is that income should be the last measure of a person’s worth. If it higher than the bottom, something is wrong.
