Should I date to marry a woman knowing that I would most likely never make as much money as her?

[Anonymous]

She is a trainee judge, and in my country, judges have the highest salaries. Unless I have a successful business, I will never be able to make as much money as she will.

My parents have been married for over 30 years. My mom has always made significantly more than my dad. If money is the deciding factor on wether or not you marry her, your focus is in the wrong place.

Life is long, people and circumstances change.


Would you want to marry her if she made less than you? Would you divorce her if she suddenly couldn’t work and made less money than you?


What’s wrong with her making more than you? If you learn to be each other’s partners and share your life, it should be fine.


Ps. Men still have better opportunities and advantages in the work place in terms of salary, so I think you could end up making more eventually

If you are both self-sufficient and worrying about this, the focus is wrong.

Sure if it's not an issue for her
