Reply #51: Interesting. I never thought of it that way.

I am six years younger than Mr. Midlo, and if you asked him, he would say I'm the one with the power. LOL.

To me, it's more an issue of interests than power. He makes way more than me, but I was out of the work force for 13 years raising my kids. I'm happy doing what I'm doing because I don't have to go into an office or do any traveling, which would make things difficult because he travels.

I think you may have a point, though. I do see some couples with power issues. We don't have that, so I don't think about it much.
