Men may be strong, but their egos tend to be on the fragile side. There’s nothing necessarily wrong with that. In some instances, it’s endearing because you’re able to see how sensitive and vulnerable they actually are.

But then there are times when navigating through their pride can be like walking on a tight rope. Say that you make more money than your husband, for instance. One article published stats indicating that female breadwinners and divorce are closely linked. One key piece of this is how some men react to the idea of wives making more money then they do. 

If you happen to make more money than your spouse, what can you do to avoid being someone whose marriage is in jeopardy? There is no failsafe plan, but we do have some suggestions that can keep you focused on your career without ignoring your husband’s needs or feelings in the process.

About Shellie Reneé

Just a woman who digs all things relationships. HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS, that is. I've been writing (professionally) for close to 20 years, including having two books published. I'm also a marriage life coach and doula. Sometimes I speak to large audiences or do radio interviews, but usually I'm sitting in my favorite chair, surfin' the 'net and penning stuff that I wish I had read in my early 20s.

Listen, I don't have all the answers, not by a LOOOOONG shot. But whatever I can do to spare folks any heartbreak, bitterness or straight-up drama, I'll devote some keystrokes to doing. 

That's it...in a nutshell. For the most part. Kinda. ;)
