Yes, we need to talk about it, tho.

I think some men are beginning to see the point in having a housewife, again, but the sort of prudent woman who would make a good housewife is going to balk at the current situation and prefer to keep her day job.

I think the key is in severing the direct link between earned-income and personal wealth of each spouse. More FINANCIAL acknowledgement of the homemaker's (male or female) contribution to the success of the entire family. So that homemakers can retain some financial independence without a salary.
