For eons, men were expected to go out and hunt and bring home the bacon for the woman to cook.  In the past few decades, women have been climbing the corporate ladder and earning higher incomes.  In some cases, she earns more than most men she meets.  When a woman earns more, does that change dating?  Does it change the roles she plays as a wife? 

Many women have benefited from feminism.  The feminist movement demanded women be given the same career opportunities as men.  And women are paid the same.  In the 21st Century, there are clear results of feminism.  The majority of the workforce is made up of women – 51%.  In addition, many women are so well paid that it is difficult for them to find a man who fits the tradition of the man making more.  So does money interfere with love?  In other words, can a woman love and respect a man who earns less than her?  Is money strong enough to change the biology of men and women and reverse roles?

On this show, we are going to discuss this topic in great detail.  We are going to sit down with a woman who is so well educated and intelligent that any company in their right mind would compensate her handsomely.  Yet, when it came to love, her choice of a spouse was not predicated on his earnings.  Her name is Barbara Broome, Ph.D.  She is the Dean and professor at the famous Kent State University College of Nursing.  Without question, she is a model woman for anyone’s daughter to follow.  At the same time, many of her philosophies about love, marriage, money, gender roles and feminism may shock you.

For this show, be prepared to have your core beliefs provoked.
