Female here, with some feedback:
Most men today don't want their wives to be homemakers raising the children. They expect their wives to provide a second income.
And, believe me, as a woman who stopped working to raise her children, I now understand the value of a woman working, or at least holding onto a part-time job. Suppose the husband becomes ill... or suppose he leaves. Those of us who've been out of the workforce for a long time have more difficulty finding work.
Thank you for your perspective.
I disagree but that is life I guess. No most men do NOT want their wives to work - at least not those that want marriage. Now if you want to include those that want comfortable living arrangements - both parties working and very nice living conditions, then I would agree.
You are going by today’s feminist men, I’d guess, but to me that says that you don’t get out much or you are mixing with the wrong folks - especially men. Sorry, but if the man becomes ill (i’m assuming a major long time illness), then that would be major in any marriage and unusual.
So, I do disagree but am glad to hear an alternate opinion. I wonder if you are of the later generation though as things do seem to be very different these days.
Not for the better though as women find out when the feminists continue to alienate men.

i agree with you but the socialist economy that we have now dictates that. high taxes and regulation require you to work.

I cannot emphasize this enough.
Women have a lot more to lose if the man walks away. With the kids and being primary caregiver, women are often considered devalued for being unwed with kids, even if the kids are born in wedlock. So frankly, women SHOULD consider a career/job a priority and keep it no matter what.
It is a double edge sword. If you have children, one income rarely provides for a family, at least not comfortably or in a safe area. Yet, If you have children, it can be damn inconvenient to not have one caregiver without another job.
