CAR, I’m gonna guess that you are a stay at home mom.
I think that would explain your skewed perspective. Stay-at-home moms tend to cling to older traditional concepts as you’ve described. But that doesn’t match reality.
Either that or you’re black – and I’ll explain why I say that below, where I’ll back up my position with factual data not generalizations and stereotypes.
[quote=CA renter]… most women would argue that having a husband who makes a decent living is necessary for a good marriage, as well. There are always exceptions, of course, but that doesn’t change the rule.

This is simply not true. Most women would NOT argue that a hubby who makes a good living is necessary for a good marriage. See attached data.
Your statement is only true of the subset of women who are black. It is not true of American women in general, and is especially not true of white American women.
