In all seriousness, if you’re a man don’t marry someone who will make more than you if this will be a problem for you. Same for a woman, don’t marry him if he can’t have a pretty good chance to earn more than you if this will affect your views of him.
Is this too practical? Too impractical?
Maybe it’s impossible for a young person to take this into account, but if you’re older and getting married or remarried, I think you would be very foolish not to consider this when choosing a potential spouse.
Quick anecdote. Due to being laid off a job, for a while my ex earned more than me, a fact she cited upon our divorce. I hadn’t had a problem with it, but apparently she did.
