I am in the same situation as your husband. I earn less than my wife. I earn $3k pm while my wife earn $4k pm. But I do other things like trading and tuition and I earn $1.5k extra. So now I earn $4.5k, more than my wife. But I don't do housework, she does. We don't have a maid.

My hubby spends his free time tutoring our children, he helps out with the household chores and is a responsible husband and father. He is careful with his money and good at saving and investing his money. With our combined savings we can now afford to upgrade to a $1m condo. We sold our flat for $600k and paid down using our cash savings. We only need to borrow $200k in mortgages, which is very comfortable for us financially.
