Ask Dr. Helen: Should Single Men Be ‘Bagged and Tagged?’

I just recently saw a case in my personal life of two doctors (male and female) who got married.

The man is still cranking it out in a practice, 10-12 hours a day. The woman sometimes works part-time, but mostly says she has been “writing a book” for the last several years (no end in sight). I wonder if there even is a book. She tells people she’s a “physician”; no one asks her, of course, if she works very much. No kids.

She’s got a great lifestyle, stress-free. And she would show up in the statistics as doing the SAME JOB as her husband, but earning far less.
