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

[Min George]

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?

That depends on the relationship of the couple. I do not think there is any problem if the wife has more money than her husband.

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.

Most times, it is not always a smooth sail when the wife is the more financially buoyant person in a family.

I don't think there is a specific answer to this, i guess it all depends on the character and behavior of the wife. In some cases things might still be okay in the family, then there are cases where it would lead to the wife not respecting the husband.

Why should a woman be submissive? Both the man and the woman have equal rights in a family. If a woman earns more than her husband it doesn't matter if both have understanding between them. One of my sister earns more than her husband but they are living happily.

I don't think it is any difference. The man and woman are one. it should work.this way that they come together to spend the money

I don't even base my submission as a wife to the financial level of the mma. But on the ability of the man to lead.

In the society that I live in, it would cause such great imbalance if a wife is more buoyant than the husband.

In a understanding family such should not bring any imbalance. it should be a thing that bring even more closer.

My dad warned me never to allow a wife have more money than me. He said that from experience, such a man is a loser.

LoL, but sometimes these things just happened. I don't think it makes the man a weak person. it might just be nature

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

It simply could mean the husband comes from a poor or very poor family, while the wife comes from a middle-class or wealthy family. So what? When I met my husband, he hadn't even a single penny to purchase a bus ticket. He comes from a very poor and populated family and during that time almost all his family members were totally broken (unemployed with children, relying on grandparents' pensions or living in a slum, counting on in-laws to have a roof over their heads, etc., etc., etc.), while I came from a middle-class family. We married and I was the breadwinner during many years. Currently, he is earning a small salary, while I'm still more buoyant than him. This circumstance was never an issue.
