In part, yes. Another key reason is that my working allows me to tell DH to go jump in a lake.  My mother, and my grandmother before her, were frustrated at times with their lack of "hand" in their marriages.  My DH can't make any decisions without my concurrence, because I make more than half the money. He can't just come home one day and say the family is moving because he took a new job. He can't make major purchases without my say so. We have a real partnership, not based on benevolence or emotion.[/quote]

I also find this post troubling.  I am sorry that your marriage is based on the fact that you bring home a paycheck and can hold it over your husband.  I'd also be curious to see where your marriage is in 10+ years. [/quote]

If you think that believe that marriage is immune from the power of the purse, you are naive. [/quote]

And if you think the power of the purse if going to save your marriage, then you're deluded.  [/quote]
