The reality of this situation, as in all relationship issues is two-fold.
First and foremost, nothing I have is mine. God gave it all to me. The money is definitely not mine.
Secondly, he has called me into my work.
He has already chosen the man he has for me. Whoever that is has a ministry into which God has called him.
So, if I am truly committed to being about my Father's business, it won't matter who makes more. . .the only thing that will matter is that Jesus remains in the center of all we do!
Don't know if that makes sense. . .but it's my 2 cents worth!

Here is the bottom line on marriage and money issues. From my experience there are three things that both spouses need to understand and agree on:
1) The first 10 percent is holy money - it belongs to God. End of discussion. Also with this when it comes to offerings above and beyond the tithe, you need to respect each other enough that if one says they feel God wants them to give a certain amount for whatever, let them. After all, God is ultimately the provider of all we have.
2) As long as there is enough to meet the basic needs of life, who truly has to have more? Don't misunderstand, I think having extras makes life fun, but don't go into major debt over it.
And finally...
3) Understand the other persons views on money and spending habits - some things can be lived with and others can't. If you hook up with someone that's irresponsible with money and you struggle yourself to keep to your budget then that is certainly a recipe for disaster.
So, that being said why would it matter who contributes what - the important issue would be how the finances are used.

I think more of a problem is how the couple views money. Money was a problem in my previous marriage because my ex saw money as power. He made more money, therefore he had more power in the relationship. When I was not working and contributing money, he viewed me as not contributing to things that mattered. Yet, when I was working, he had to exercise control over my money. He had to keep control over his power in our relationship and controlling the money was how he did it.
My biased opinion -- if the husband and wife are truly partners in the Christian sense, it will not be nearly as important an issue. If money is seen as power, then you will have problems.

On October 2 I married a woman I met on CSD who earns three times what I can. I did not write to her even though she showed up on my preferred search because she had more education and income earning ability than I do. When my picture popped up on my birthday, she wrote to me. The rest is history. We are happily married because we are able to talk about our differences and she does not look down on me for not being able to earn as much as she does. We both agree that I need to work (since our children are grown)for my own sense of satisfaction and so she won't feel she is carrying all the load. I just thank the Lord for an ambitious wife who loves me for what I am.

Money is often one of the root causes of failed relationships, marriages. The issue is often times not who makes more but how money should be spent and who should spend it. In cases, where there is great divide between the incomes of a man and women and depending on which partner is making more, a woman may feel inferior or the man may feel inferior in that situation. I beleive that on the outset of a seeking a relationship we should seek after someone with a comparable income level.
