I'm not married so my opinion doesn't matter much but to me it wouldn't matter and it shouldn't matter. A husband and wife should work as a team not as individuals to one up each other on who makes more money. For some it's as if they are keeping score to use the beadwinner fact to their advantage with making decsions. If my wife made more than me I would be totally fine with that.

When we go to the grocery store, I figure one loaf of bread ( maybe two) is enough for the week for two people. But, I usually get over ruled and we often end up with as many as three loaves of bread, rolls, and other bread-like products that go stale before we eat them and end up going out to the birds.
I make the most money, but I am not the "breadwinner."
