The psychic reward to the income-earning spouse seem like a form of compensation, too. Some people really enjoy what they do for a living, and have had many moments of transcendent bliss. They get all the platitudes and social rewards (status, recognition for a job well done, etc.) that a SAHP does not. Does that mean the income-earning spouse should work for free?
