A REAL MAN's lens, "Men can handle a more powerful wife". And change the wording for a REAL WOMAN, "My spouse’s job DOES NOT impede my future career success;” “I am PROUD when my spouse accompanies me to work events;” “My spouse’s work is COMPLIMENTARY TO OUR WORK LIFE BALANCE.  It's about choosing the right partner, having a strong and supportive relationship, and having realistic expectations.  I suggest the study add 1 more factor - personality type.  I think that A-type personalities, either male or female, will 1) have issues with a more powerful spouse, 2) feel their careers are impeded by their relationship,  3) feel embarrassed by their spouse at events (unless it's all about looks), and 4) will have a level of shame about what their spouse does.  My recommendations - 1) choose your partner well, 2) be prepared to support each other regardless career success; and 3) focus on your life outside of work.  Remember, check your ego at the door - it's just a job.
