Interesting article about husbands being increasingly stressed as their wives make more money than they do. Wonder what that says about men who are the spouses of hugely successful and powerful women in business, politics and entertainment. Not only are these women making more than their husbands they also have celebrity that their men do not.
Yet some of these marriages turn out to be very durable and the women attribute much of their success to having such husbands by their side. Logically, these men have inner confidence and self-possession that is so strong that it is able to overcome the stress produced by income disparity. That would be the definition of a true alpha male.
Seems like it would benefit society overall if such men were held up as role models in how to be a man in a relationship. There is something to be said for having an amazing woman with no lack of opportunity to stay firmly committed to her partner because she already has the best - nothing else interests her at that point. It does take a very special man to be that to a woman who has it all.
