TGD Relationship Corner
Good morning sisters. Today's post is dedicated to the two women that have stood up to be counted in the US Presidential elections - Senator Hillary Clinton and Dr. Jill Stein. It is a great day for women, no matter how #AmericaDecides.
As I read through the articles, posts and memes, one article stood out to me and inspired this reawakening of the relationship corner. It was the article where the question was asked - If Hillary Clinton emerges as the president, how will her husband be addressed? The first answer that came to me was Ex-President. Thankfully, he has enough achievements under his belt not to be intimidated by his wife's achievements.
My mind quickly turned to the regular woman on the street that finds herself in a position where she earns more or has more influence than her husband presently. As usual, I have a few questions.
1. Should a woman reject a position that gives her more money than her husband? Why? Why not?
2. If she accepts the position, are there things she needs to do to make the man not feel intimidated? Or is it all up to the man to deal with?
3. What if the man is sabotaging her efforts and stifling her? What can she do in such circumstances?
4. Are there questions that need to be asked during courtship to help couples deal with the issue of the wife earning more than the husband?
Please share your views and experiences.
