I dont think a lot of people could live with only one salary per household in this economy. If it’s working for you then great. 
Also personally of course I work because I need money but I also love what I do and I feel that it kinda give me purpose and I can feel useful for society. Being at home every single day only cleaning etc would get boring really fast in my opinion. Also atm with all the business closing because they lack staff would be even worst if you remove half of the work force to make them stay at home
If it works for you, then I won't knock it. For me, however, I think I'd hate being a stay-at-home mom because of the lack of adult social interaction. Also, if I make my own money, then I won't be SOL if me or my partner wants to leave or if he dies or something. >

I have a very large life insurance policy and no prenup so I think my wife is set if I die or our marriage ends.
