Go Ahead, Be The Breadwinner!

A recent survey shows 88 percent of men OK with wife earning more.

Last week, we reported that men are increasingly sharing household chores with women.

In another sign of our ever-evolving times, nearly ninety percent of 74,000 men surveyed reported that they would not mind if their wife earned more than they did, according to MSNBC and Elle magazine.

Of course, being a working woman, wife and mother requires sacrifice, such as living with dust bunnies under the bed or returning to work soon after having a baby.

And while men report feeling comfortable with a bread-winning woman, communication is key to ensuring balanced emotions towards imbalanced earnings.
