I don't want nor need a housewife. I don't mind having a wife that is retired, but until she reaches that stage in her life, I want a working wife to help out with the expenses.
I also want a wife who brings something tangible to the table and have shyt to lose that way she will be more willing to make the marriage work.
SAH wife makes more sense for people who are young adults versus someone who is middle aged, divorced and/or widowed IMO..
But, for those who want that traditional life, just know, understand and accept what you are signing up for...
For better or worse, through sickness and health and all that other shyt it says in wedding vows...
I just don't wanna have to work myself to dealrh in order to fulfill a certain lifestyle that I am not guaranteed to maintain for a significant portion of my marriage/life.
To each one's own!
