I bring in more than DH because I make $2 more than he does and I donāt pay taxes in each paycheck. I pay quaterly, but then if you look at it in taxesā¦ we make about the same. But he gets a refund every yr, I donāt.

We are in a tricky place hereā¦
When base pay is considered, my wife makes more then me. However, I can work overtime and she canāt. Three hours in a pay period (two weeks) and iām earning more then she is. And since I always have a little here and there, I usually end up about 10K ahead of her at the end of the year.
But when we got married, I told my wife that anything she can do to make more money (well, short of sin) is fine by me. If she wants to make enough that I would never have to work again, I would love it Lotās of golf courses out there, you knowā¦
I guess the bigger question is how you measure your manliness. Try to think about the way Jesus measures your manliness whenever you get bothered by this. Then hopefully, youāll be less bothered.

Husband makes much more than me. Heās a geologist/paleontologist, although now works for an environtmental company, so is making more than if he was at a museum or stayed in academia. Iām a musician and also work a part-time job for steady income as some months are slower than others with music gigs.

My wife makes more since she works full time and I am a full time engineering student and only work 2 days a week. Hopefully once I graduate Iāll be the full time mechanical engineer and sheāll be the full time domestic engineer 
, at least thats the plan!

My husband and I have been married for 23 years. I was the major breadwinner until 2000, now my husband makes a lot more than I do. It took a lot of moves and sacrifices for both of us, but now I only work a day or two a week to keep up my skills as a nurse.
BTW I have never looked at my husband āas less of a manā because he didnāt earn as much as I did for a long time. We are on the same team and are working for a common goal!

It all goes into the same pot, weāre in it for the long haul, it makes no difference. When he was in grad school, I was breadwinner ā he was a house husband and student ā not an easy juggle. When he made a major career move, resulting in several months unemployment, I brought home the bacon and he substituted at our childās school for pennies. Most of our marriage, heās been the major breadwinner, but we can reverse roles in case of necessity ā we are a TEAM.
