In the early years of my marriage I was a stay at home mother and wife I loved keeping a home for my husband and son. Unfortunately financially I has to return to the workforce. In doing so God blessed me with many opportunities and a career I loved. The marriage ended a few years after returning to work. Bravo for this woman who finds fulfillment making good meals for her husband

There used to be a time when one income was enough and a family could afford for a wife and a mother to be a homemaker, not any more. It's like it was planned to undermine the family dynamic get children to be raised by the state and force women to toil in the rat race...

This. Yes. But the couple should sit down with a pencil and grind the budget down so she can stay home and cook. Or only work a little. Maybe part time. Not a long commute. Just to get a few bucks in and get around a little. Maybe.

It is worth giving up travel, most restaurants, live music venues, latest gadgets, and many other things to keep a woman home.

A woman herself can grind her own budget down, by doing her own nails and hair, putting her hair up in a clip instead of frequent cuts, getting clothes differently, and on and on.

Home cooked food is cheaper and that will help toward this.

Definitions of "what's enough" have changed. Alot. If the definition used during the era of "single income earner,/stay at home mom" families was used again and embraced again that alone would be enough.
