If he’s right that, on average, black women make way more, then I guess there’s little choice but to have income-unbalanced couples in that direction.  I’m just not sure that he’s right.

I’m not very techy and I don’t even know how to take a good screenshot on the computer I am using right now, but I used this site to find the U.S. Department of Labor’s answer.  If you click to specify that you want black men and black women, you will see that in 2021, the medium income for black men was $50,187 and the median income for black women was $46,543.  Therefore, I don’t know what Tyler Perry is talking about.  The woman as the higher earner is probably something he sees occasionally, but it is not the norm.

I think a lot depends on a couple’s life stage and goals.  If you are young and hoping to be able to quit work to be with your kids, then you need a high-income husband.  If you are past that stage, though, or if you are both wildly wealthy (like, comparing $2 million/year to $3 million/year), then it might not matter.
