“Lest you think the statistics come out this way because tradition-minded women happen to like tradition-minded wedlock or they’re just brainwashed by their churches, you’re wrong. In an unpublished second paper, Wilcox sifted through the survey data and discovered that even wives who describe themselves as feminists report being happier with traditional marital arrangements in which they stay home with the kids and their husbands provide for them.”
“One more surprise: Even for wives who work full time outside the home, the key to marital happiness isn’t splitting household chores and child care down the middle with their husbands. It’s much simpler: an affectionate and appreciative husband who believes, along with his wife, that marriage is forever. Sociologists call it “emotion work”: husbands talking to their wives, being understanding and supportive, spending quality time in the form of romantic evenings for two, walking hand-in-hand on the beach and so forth.’”
TheStateOf . . . Marriage. I agree with this article completely. If a man appreciates his wife, and spends quality time with her the family, everything else flows from that. Additionally, I (Justin) think staying home is the best way to go.
