[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I fear for anyone stupid enough to take that literally. A solid marriage is an equal partnership, not split down the middle 50/50.

I like the idea of one partner is primarily responsible to bring home the bacon, while the other one’s primary responsibility is to manage the home. Neither one is better than the other. They both help and support each other.

What’s not to like?[/quote]

If you're not the person bringing home the bacon, you are at distinct disadvantage. You have less power. You have less ability to leave if the other person is abusive. You have fewer opportunities if the other partner dies. You have reduced retirement savings and social security.

Not true at all.  I had savings pre-marriage and my husband puts money in my IRA's, etc.  We have about equal savings.  House and cars are in both our names.  I have far more power as I handle the day to day money and make most of the money decisions.  I don't really even consult him.  I might mention something but that's it.  He handles the investments.   I had my full credits in by the time I was a SAH and can draw off my husband's social security.  He is retiremed military so I have medical care as long as I stay married.  You assume all marriages are bad or abusive.

I feel bad for you that you have a terrible marriage and cannot trust your spouse.[/quote]
