My income is higher than my husband's and he feels challenged. How do I protect his feelings?

A difference in income need not threaten harmony when both see provision as a gift from Allah, not a measure of self-worth. Avoid mentioning your income to win an argument or control decisions. Appreciate your husband's contributions that may not be in the form of money, such as time, service and leadership. See provision as a test for both of you, not a tool for getting the better of each other. Manage your finances as a team with agreed shared goals. Keep respecting him as the leader of the family, and let him in turn appreciate your efforts. See rights of husband and wife.
