BE MY WIFE BUT DON'T BE MORE SUCCESSFUL

Maybe it is the way we have been raised or what we have come to believe but the truth is that most men want don’t want wives that are more successful than they are.
That is not to say that men do not want successful wives. As a matter of fact, individual success is fast becoming an important criteria in the spouse suitability test. The problem is with the upper limit of success.

Earn lots of money but don’t earn more than I earn
Be very educated but don’t have more/better degrees/grades
Basically, don’t be better than me.

Think about it, we have a society whose ladies also do not want a man they are better than so it’s a two way equation.

It is all nice until you go past him then suddenly, jokes become rude and what normally would be understood becomes grossly misunderstood.
Crack joke – rude
Don’t crack joke – arrogant
Stay at home – tension
Stay out late – tension
Ask for money – anger
Don’t ask for money – pride
Basically, everything becomes an issue.

Why?

Do I hear you say male ego? Okay, go ahead and say this prayer

“God please make me more successful than my husband in all I do”

Not so easy right? Now flip and try this prayer

“God please make my husband more successful than me in everything he does”

Funny prayer but not as difficult to say I’m guessing. Now, what was that you were saying about ego again?

So, what exactly is wrong with a woman being more successful?

And yes woman, the question is for you too.

Hmmm... ??.. No need to pray or ask for who should be richer or poorer .. Leave everything to happen naturally..

1 + 1 = 1 , meaning it's still one purse

An average man is more concerned about his ego than any other thing when dealing with a woman.

I'll be sitting on the fence as far as this matter is concerned. Because I can not stop my wife from being successful.

Still if some women are more successful than their husbands it is not always funny. Most of the time the husband loses his respect as the head.


Like I said I'll be sitting on the fence

There's absolutely nothing wrong in a wife being more successful than the husband
Such a man should even be happy

A husband will only lose respect in his own home if he is the wife in that home. If he cannot behave like the husband that he ought to be.
I'll also be sitting on the fence, a natural occurrence is more preferable.

You're female. You'll not understand. Forget about envy
