Thank you for the links, Michael. I seriously doubt the claims of the "Sea Change" article, though. The methods of their "study" are not published, only the conclusions. Given the pressure men feel to be politically correct, I wonder if the finding that men would be "A-OK" on the whole with a wife earning more than him is indeed correct. For that matter, I wonder if women are content with such a condition.
I wonder if the method of questioning or the sample population might be warping the results at all. From my experience, almost all the men and women I know are more comfortable in a more "traditional" marriage, whether they openly say so or not.
Maybe it's just my experience, though. Which is why I'd be interested to read more about this "exclusive" study they cite.
RE: Sea Change
Then there's my daughter - 20 years old, bright, "A" student, studying psychology and looking towards med school. Yet she says the only thing she really wants to do is marry rich and stay home to take care of house and home.
Go figure.
Pawnking,
I share your curiosity about other studies. We'll probably be hearing much more on this.
Jeff,
I think your daughter represents a sizable number of young women. I've met them. There is an interesting combination of high, career-oriented, achievement along with the desire to "take care of house and home."
