Perhaps, you've heard or read about the Forbes magazine editor who presented peer-reviewed research showing unhappiness on the part of married women if they earn more than their husbands. The husbands, according to the research, were also unhappy.
Certainly this doesn't hold true for all married couples. You can check out the link to the article in my links in the sidebar and see what you think.

I feel an important point is that, when both partners are assertive enough to say how they feel about these and other marital or relationship issues, there is a better chance that difficulties can be resolved through honest and open communication.

That is a large part of what this blog is about, and I hope that this information, showing you how assertiveness succeeds in most aspects of life, will be helpful to you at home and at work and elsewhere.
