At first, I was thinking of interviewing random couples that I will be able to spot in certain places, but due to the lack of time—because I am also working a double job on top of school—I thought that sending out surveys to people will be more accessible.

One of the most interesting research findings that I was able to obtain was an article written by Duke Selwyn, titled “Rise in Female Breadwinners Mean that America is a Loser”.
