Does it create imbalance in a family if a wife is financially more buoyant than the man?

[Retrogenix]

yes it does create, as women start to think that she no longer need you
You need to work and not let that happen if u want a happy wife
even though the most rich people on earth like Elon and Bill Gates could not make their wife happy and got divorced

The higher-earning partner may feel burdened or taken advantage of, while the lower-earning partner may feel guilty or resentful about not contributing equally.

Some people say that a man is supposed to be financially more buoyant than his wife to maintain family balance. Is it true that family balance would be lost if the woman has more money than the man? Would it cause the woman not so be submissive to the man?

There could be a possibility as it is a belief that the man should rule the roost when it comes to earning. However it all depends on how the wife plays down her being at the top.

Financial disparities can strain the relationship, leading to arguments and increased stress for both partners.

 

[pousinha]

The only reason leading to arguments and stress should take place when the smaller salary (or better, the unemployment) of the husband originates from irresponsibility and laziness. Never in the case of misfortune or simply differently paid jobs (for ex., if the wife is a dentist and the husband is a workman, it's very ordinary a dentist to be financially more buoyant than a workman: not the least reason to quarrel).

Husband and wife should respect each other and not have any egos. If we don't have egos financial status would not matter.

Exactly, this is where the actual problem comes from. The man has an ego, and the woman as well also has one.

That's true some men and women in India want the others in the family to serve them as their slaves if they are earning well.

Some couples may struggle with the shift in traditional gender roles, where the man is traditionally seen as the primary provider.

Pretty much the here, and there is this constant war between the male and females here. They are always looking for ways to insult the other.

 

[pousinha]

Due to the financial precariousness, especially in a third or fourth world country, a spouse (whether the husband or wife) should be happy with a greater salary at home instead of quarrelling. It looks like quarrelling people, especially men, prefer to stay poor and to starve...

 

[Augusta]

A good ride would not allow that. it is for one to know that the money coming in is for the household

 

[Stardom22]

Of course yes. That is because most women behave strangely when they earn more than their husbands. However that depends on the type, back ground and ideologies for the woman in question.

 

[kit_hung]

From some literature that I have read, if financially the wife is more buoyant than the husband, then an imbalance can occur which often causes stress and anxiety, in the family the wife can play a more dominant role than the husband.

That thing about a wife having more money than her husband can cause tension if their egos are high. When people start comparing roles to money instead of love and respect, marriages become stressful. There are men who feel inferior and women start controlling without realizing it.

But there are also marriages that work well even if the mother earns more. If everyone plays their role with respect and understanding, things go well. Money doesn't have to be power if there is true love and communication is tight.

Everyone has different personalities and behaviors, so anything can happen in a marriage, depending on the couple. However, many families of wives who have more money than their husbands will look down on them.

It might as it is not the woman position to be a provider. But it is all good if the woman has more money

 

[pousinha]

However, many families of wives who have more money than their husbands will look down on them.

In my former country it's also the other way round. And the risk is the grandchildren won't have a close relationship with the grandparents who are more buoyant. That's why the best choose of a woman is to have her own job, not relying on her husband's salary.
