In my opinion the title is asking something entirely different than described in the story above. If you feel your husband is not getting what he deserves, you should try to explain this to him using the words described.

For a husband to have to make more money than his spouse is a remnant cliche from old times when women stayed home and men provided for a living, wanting to hold on to the thought of the man being the one providing for the family.

Yet there will always be situations in this day and age, where the female has a better education or she is employed in a sector that pays better than her husband.

I am sure if you explain to him that in your opinion, he is not getting the pay he deserves for his capabilities, that he will understand. This is a very different thing from telling him that you think he should earn more than you, which would probably upset him if he feels he can not do any better.

Actually, it is one of the reasons of having a failure relationship. To look the weakness of your partner is not that good. You have to respect that. If our wife is earning more that us of course we felt insecure somehow. But there is a limitation to our capability. Yes there is many ways to tell your husband that he should get a better job but I don't see the point. Life is difficult but all is having weakness. You have the opportunity and please don't compare it with him.

Please remember when two people love each other, they don't look to each but they look in one direction...

hey,

just clear the question. The answers could be as below -

1. if you think that husband should earn more than wife then ur going the wrong way. On contrary you shuld be happy that he is not having any ego against you even though u get more money.

2. If you think he is underpaid then explain him this fact by comparing his work, knowledge & experince with his friends or collegues.
