such "requirements" ridiculous.

i know a lot of couple living happily with wife earning more than husband.

as couples (married or not) - you should be happy when the other's earning is increased, even if it's the lady that's earning more. be happy for the blessing. not be jealous as jealousy over such petty things spoil the relationship. like for example, a couple with both earning RM 2k per month. girl gets salary adjustment first, she'll earn more lor. guy get then he'll lead again. both also take turn to earn more BUT shouldn't be competing that way. should look at is as cooperating to have better living.

when work - earn together, spend together. just because the lady earns more that doesn't mean the man is any less capable.

the most important part of a relationship is NOT about who earns more. it's about learning to cooperate with one another, supporting one another and understanding one another.
