Should I tell him to take the new job?

My fiancee makes a decent living, but has been offered a higher-paying job within another company. I know he would enjoy this job a lot less than his current position, but it does pay 1/3 more and I think it could lead to better oportunities for him. We're saving to buy a house and the extra income would help! I think he's leaning towards no, but should I encourage him to take it? I don't want him to resent me if he hates this new job.

    He has to live with the job day in and day out. If you want more money, then go make it, don't try to get him to take a job he won't like.

    His inner happiness is more important than money. Let him make his decision, then celebrate whatever he wants.

    You'd want him to support you if you had a decision such as this. Give him the same respect and enjoy a long and happy marriage :)

    Your not his mother or his superior to tell him which job he should have. You are his wife, so your only job is to support whatever HE decides to do, not what you decide... he's a grown man, he can make his own decisions... so just support what HE decides.
