[quote=Anonymous]Well. DH and I married when my salary was $40K and his was $60K. Mine has increased 10x since then; his has also increased substantially but I now out-earn him slightly. Marrying him, though, gave me huge advantages in advancing my own earning potential: he cares for the kids while I travel so I don't need a live-in nanny (we do have daytime childcare), he's a great life partner, he's a sounding board for major decisions at work like whether to go for a promotion or not, he shares evening tasks so we can each work late half the time. And, I love spending time with him. It makes me happy to come home to him every night. Could I have gotten this far if I hadn't married AND hadn't had kids? Maybe. Maybe not. I know my life is a million times better now than it would have been in that case, though.[/quote]
