WOMENS' SUCCESS
Money in marriage means power and while many women have managed to break through psychological
barriers and reach top jobs, men have been unable to face a situation in which he is the lower-salary
earner.
A study of top earning wives and their marriages will be published next year. The magazine Psychology
Today previews this study and points out that in the United States a million women now bring home more
money than their husbands. "One of the biggest problems for both husbands and wives in marriages of
unequal earnings is that there are very few model couples who have coped successfully with the
situation," says the magazine. "Many simply don't know how to behave in public or private." The hard
facts are that wives who do better than their husbands at work, set a domestic scenario for disaster. Sex
lives suffer and feelings of love diminish. The couples run a high risk of mutual psychological and
physical abuse, which leads to a much higher divorce rate. Finally, for some of these husbands premature
death from heart disease is 11 times more frequent than normal.
Nevertheless, this doesn't occur if wives earn more but in a typically female job, such as secretary, nurse
or researcher. Sociologist Diana Hiller, who prepared the research, says: "It's okay for your wife to have a
higher-paying or higher-status job, as long as she's a nurse or a teacher -because that's what women are
supposed to be."
