Thank you for picking and choosing what parts of my post you respond to. I did mention that EACH couple needs to decide between themselves what they want out of the marriage. I know couples who fit each of the scenarios I mentioned and neither is necessarily the man working more. I know a wife who works and her husband home schools, a man who works part time and his wife works full so it's not just the woman who has the "choice"...it's generally a mutual decision between husband and wife.
I'll be honest...I'm tired of working. I'm tired of missing so much of my kids lives, however I don't have the choice of staying home and I'm okay with that. If I were to marry (which I'm not) it would be a decision between my husband and I as to the working situation. It may be best for both of us to work. It may be better for him to work and me to stay home. It may be best for me to work and him to stay home (doubtful considering my menial wages).
Saying a woman who stays home is a gold digger is quite a judgmental statement and not a very fair one.
Not really the point of the discussion. We're talking about women that place a great deal of importance on a man's wallet. In the rest of society we call it gold digging. In some Christian circles gold digging is cloaked in religion and called biblical. I never said it wasn't up to people how they want to live, most men know they're hooking up with a gold digger when they do.
And you don't think there are legions of men out there that are tired of working their lives away and missing out on their children's lives because they have a spouse at home that doesn't pull her weight financially?
It's entirely fair to say that someone that doesn't support themselves is using, gold digging, the person that they live off of. It's not really a judgement statement, just a fact. If a guy wants to let a woman live off of him, that's his call.
