I disagree.
If one spouse makes enough money for the family to live comfortably, then there's no reason why the other spouse
needs to be bringing in a steady income, if any income at all.
Having a housewife or househusband allows the couple to have the day to day stuff taken care of without intruding on the family's time together. Said housewives and househusbands (hws and hhs) aren't necessarily unambitious, either. For instance, I've seen hws and hhs who are huge assets to their communities because of the volunteer work they do.

I don't have any hard stats to cite, but I've heard that the likelihood of divorce is directly proportional to the education level of the woman (assuming the highest education level was attained before the marriage). The higher the education, the less likely the marriage would result in divorce.
Then again, I've Heard and They Say are the biggest liars in town, so take that for what you will.
