Summary
Jeremy and April Pryor wade into the sensitive topic of what happens in marriages when a wife earns more money than a husband, and eventually becomes the "alpha". This conversation is a reaction to a recent video by Patrick Bet-David.
Is it guaranteed to cause problems? What are the effects on family in a world where this is becoming increasingly common?
This deeply impacts how we raise our daughters and how we work together as family teams, so at risk of offending everybody, we're diving in to explore relationship dynamics and what this means for modern families.

10:18 Is being a workplace leader and a wife incompatible?
20:18 Niceness and agreeability
29:25 Why it's so hard on marriages when women try to "beat" men
33:28 Do women "lose attraction" to husbands who earn less than them?
