Question:
My wife is making more money than me. While I’m proud of her achievements, a part of my male ego just died. How do I get over it so I don’t ruin my marriage?
Answer: I totally hear you love. There is SUCH judgment in our society that the man has to be the bread winner, or the man has to make more than the woman, or you are better/greater/grander if you make more money, yes? Is that really true? That your worth is based on your bank account? That your marriage’s success is based on you making more than your wife?
What if that wasn’t true? What if your worth was inherent just because you are you? And what if the person who decided your worth was YOU. Not your wife, not your bank account, not society, not anything? Who would you have to be… that you haven’t been wiling to be… to KNOW your magnificence no matter what your wife earned… so that you could be proud of her, celebrate her AND be proud of you and celebrate you?
I provide some ways to clear this shame, an exercise to change your point of view, and a real life story to support you, great man.
AND I dare you to contact my [email protected] for a strategy session… because here’s the deal: I can say all this to you… yet if there is a limiting belief blocking you shifting deep inside and truly honoring your worth no matter what your wife earns… all I say is just ‘interesting’ yet not transformational… and as you say… eventually it will ruin your marriage.
Be bold, proactive and courageous… and change this. For you, your marriage and if you have kids, to show your children what a true noble badass father is.
And if you’re new to my work, it’s my pleasure to gift you with what I’ve learned in awakening the noble badass masculine grandeur in a man in my complementary report called www.GetHerToSayYes.com. It’s SO moving, delicious and awe inspiring to watch men become Kings.
Great love and endless blessings, Allana xox

This all sounds great, warm, fuzzy but sadly not realistic. Having lived through the feminist movement of the 60’s and 70’s. Where were you back then? Where were you when women were being told that the housewives that they were being oppressed and told that they had little value unless they had a career. Don’t get me wrong, i love what your saying but you’re not hitting on the important point and that is his value as a provider, something that he more then likely was raised to be. You could have easily given the same tasks to a women… Read more »
