I am more interested in guppies replies than guppans (no offence meant to guppans feel free to participate)
Ok so all the guppies, how would you feel if your wife starts earning more than you? Would this hurt your ego? What would ur reaction be? Would this change things around?
And also would u (guppies) mind marrying a women who is literally richer than you? Would u even care about it? or would u feel a bit dumb? in other word would this also hurt ur ego or not?
Share your views thanks
P.S: I am just asking a simple question, only share ur views, dont get personal and last but not least dont have a go at me and call me mullah, narrow minded or whatever! This question came to my mind hence i asked you..if u have nothing good to share than please dont bother posting in this thread. Thanks
If you are forgetting let me remind you. Hazrat Khadeja(RA) first wife of our holy Prophet(SAW) was a big business woman. He went to many trading voyages for her but later on he retired and devoted his life to preaching Islam.

hurt my ego? dude that'd be a blessing. I'd give her a bow, a standing ovation, dispatch her to work and watch animated sitcoms, every football game, catch up on my back log of gaming and spend the money she earns. I think I'd quit my job, too. she's earning more anyway.
I did not bring religion in this picture did I ? Where did I say that it is Islamic or Un-Islamic practice ? Yes Islam does not dictate whether you should or should not allow your wife to work or earn. But we can learn many things from our ancestors and our Holy Prophet(SAW). If our Holy Prophet(SAW) did something that makes it easy for us to follow and if he(SAW) did not do something or rejected something then it becomes easy for us to avoid or reject it.
yeah, man. For the most part we get the shaft in a relationship/marriage without even realizing it. Go to work, come home tired, cant even watch our fav tv show (most of the time), kid is sick take him to the hospital, day off..take the wife shopping. There is no end, man and at the end of the day what do we have? our ego? puhlease.

Gohan... word brotha.
desi women have no clue how good they have it..no clue at all.
The first 3.5 years of marriage, I was earning more than my husband. Because he's a real man, it didn't bother him. He kept working hard and earned promotions. Now our salaries are very close -- though his is a bit higher.
There have been times when i earned more than hubby, it wasn't an issue at all. He still encourages me to aim higher at times when i am wasting my time. (like now!)
Also there have been times when he earns more, but again its not an issue.
I got a job offer, long time ago, before I had my children, in an NGO. I wasnt allowed to even think about it because I would have earned far more than my husband. My MIL kept on saying “mein logon ko kya jawab doongi” “disgraceful”, people will think that u are being paid for other services etc
