What's your definition of failure? I have seen several successful partnerships/marriages where the roles were reversed from the traditional concept, and the woman was the successful go-getter career person and the man more the homemaker with other interests. In one, the woman worked to put him through art school; then he worked to put her through graduate school. She went on to be a high flying corporate executive, while he maintained the home and worked in his studio. Neither was a failure -- just different priorities in life, and they supported each other.
