Listener questions and comments:
- Mike - My wife has made more money for the last 40 years. Why would that be perceived as a problem? Is there any Catholic position on this?
- Sarah - I was the sole breadwinner, and my husband wasn't working at all. I got a ton of backlash, he accused me and we are now separated.
- Carol - I stopped working when I had my twins. My husband was always at work and now my children resent me. Talks about the “Turkey Plate”
- Janet - I have worked to be the breadwinner of my house. It went very well, but seven years into it, I stopped and I'm now divorced.
