Agree. It is hard to accept the difference in earning power. Most will probably be left on the shelf just like the female lawyer for my housing loan.
On a side note, I do have friends who have good marriages despite income differences.
Not everything can measured by money and it takes both to work on the marriage.
Working hours for lawyers are bad. Life is more than just money, status and work.
