"I have been out of the University for ten
years without a job. Getting a job became a
big deal in those years. Every advertisement
I saw on the papers demanded for five years
working experience.
How could l have had five years working
experience without actually working? So l
continued the search until l found a job as a
clerical staff in an establishment of sort.
I took it even though the pay could not take
me home. They say ‘a beggar doesn’t have a
choice’. I couldn’t say no to the salary when
I didn’t have a better deal elsewhere.
I have worked for six years and just got my
promotion to the position of a supervisor in
the same company.
Meanwhile, I have continued to see my
sweetheart, Jessica from the University. She
finished service and got a good job in a Bank
and as it is she is already earning more than I
have ever earned… The though of marriage
makes me uncomfortable as I want to play my
role as 'the man' in our household..."
So is it still a big deal in this day and age?
Does it matter if a woman has a more
financially rewarding career than the
man she chooses to marry?

No

It does not matter if a woman earns more than you.

It doesnt matter

Well d man is supposed to b d provider n d woman d helpmate. Its wise to ensure u contribute @ least enough in a household to b called d man of d house. Its nt jst abt who earns more now, provided u r progressive things can change.

Answer to the question: YES!

As long as i'm also working hard and contributing...and she does not disrespect me.

More money for the household..abi?

This does not matter as long as both parties are matured enough
