I don't feel less for being here running the house - I also don't feel he should come home and "take over" - it isn't about power or who brings in the money, it is about having a haven for our family - a peaceful place where we are safe and happy.

I agree in principle. But with that said, I think it is generally better for children if one parent stays home. I believe it strongly enough that if I ever find a woman desperate enough to wed me and have children, and if she doesn't want to stay home, then I am happy to do it myself. The Bible says to raise your children up in the instruction of the Lord. I am a Christian. I take this stuff seriously, and we all know that our children probably aren't going to get the instruction of the Lord from the public school system in this country.

Staying home isn't always an option but I am fortunate to have done so for most of our marriage. I homeschool my son, but our daughter graduated from a public high school.

Life isn't a one-size-fits-all -
