That doesn't sound ridiculous at all. To me, it sounds like pretty much the definition of a good marriage.
I've been married for ~40 years. Neither my wife or I have been concerned over whom is contributing more to the family income. Perhaps having taken up the rather expensive hobby of raising children may have had something to do with that.
In many ways, Charles Dickens had it right:
“Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen nineteen and six , result happiness.
Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pounds ought and six, result misery”― Charles Dickens,
