Given my intention to work in the fantastically low-paying field of not-for-profit liberal journalism, I've always harbored the secret hope that my eventual mate will be much, much richer than I am. Maybe a sexy i-banker looking to salve her social conscience? In any case, I've no real way to relate to guys who collapse in terror at the idea of their spouse out-earning them. As Rebecca Traister explains, this may mean I have to give up on watching television for the near future.
Update: Via Matt, this article on relationships where the wife out-earns the husband is chilling. On the bright side, apparently your wife won't start seeing you as an emasculated child if you're a published writer with bylines to your name, so I'm golden.
