And without going as far as the Quiverfull folks, there's the complimentarian view, also a conservative religious view.

I don't personally understand why a woman would want to do this, or a man for that matter, since I don't want to be the sole supporter of any able adult.

But surely a feminist couple can make the choice that, for them (whether for the short term or long term), it makes sense for one to work outside the home and one to stay at home. I think there's a very real difference between, say, the wife not working outside the home because she's not "supposed to" and the wife (or husband) not working outside the home because she/he/they have made the decision that it's what's best for them.
