Effects of Employment on Spouses
• How does employment affect marriage relationships?– The more money a partner makes, the more
power that person has in the relationship.– Wives typically make the decisions in more areas
of the relationship.– In ¼ of marriages, wives earn higher incomes than
husbands.

Effects of Employment
• Dual-earner marriage: both husband and wife work outside the home to provide economic support for the family– Over 2/3 of marriages involve 2 earners.
• Can you put a price on the amount of work a stay home partner provides?– A stay-at-home parent provides an estimated $50,000
in services.– What kind of problems are created by not estimating
such costs?

working wives, but why?
