hey kavitha, that is irrelevant.  nobody was talking about the world.  and by the way most suicides do take place becos of complexes.  further society does not give you the complex.  but the male ego does when the wife earns more than the husband.  encouraging etc comes along for a few months maybe years, but after that complexes do begin

encouraging the woman to study etc is wonderful and many men these days do it and feel proud of those qualifications, but when the wife is more qualified and begins to earn more, complexes arise.   and it does manifest itself in a lot of other forms like insecurity in the relationships, unnecessary use of words in arguements, tongue in cheek remarks etc. 

That is so so true. It is all about personal egos and complexes. Most people feel the marriage and relationship between the husband and wife can govern such feelings. But no! I am a working wife. My mother is a working wife. My parents have been happily married for more than 25 years and both have successful careers, but like you say - the unnecessary words and tongue in cheek is not completely absent.

Womens lib has a long way to go.. Today to be a succesful wife, to be a successful career woman you cannot do without learnign to manage the egos of your co workers and partner

Well yes there could be some experience which could be bitter but speaking from a idealistic situation, the man should feel happy and should own up that he has played his part of the relationship, and he is a equal partner of his wife's success, being negative will only cause downfall not only in the relationship but also the success which is bestowed upon by the almighty.
I believe if the partnership is not to do with one upmanship, if such is the case than marriage is wrong choice, for there cannot be first among equals, and prerequisite for equality is equal freedom, equal rights, equal everything.

Though i agree women's lib has a long way to go, but at least start in the right direction would lead to the goal.Coming back to topic, i have seen people where wife not only earns more but is a lucky omen and the husband takes up the job of managing the wife's career and also uses her luck to best possible use in his business / profession.

In most of the cases, particularly with our generation, I think it is not as strong as "one up manship"
More often than not partners are supportive and liberal in encouragement.
But a male ego cannot control the surge of jealousy, a pang of insecurity. And it is but natural. I am not saying women are above such human tendancies..but traditionally and a woman accepts her husband as the literal "better half"

Well i am man and if my wife is luckier than me in terms of sucess than i would name everything which is mine in her name, so as to increase our fortune.
