What kind of relationship will it be if both partners are always off doing their own thing: one playing poker and one off buying and selling on ebay. I don't know about anyone else, but I got married because I wanted to spend more time with my wife, not less. JMHO.

I don't think this is what is being said here, we are trying to show her she has as much to offer financially as he does, there is no reason to let the marriage fail but I really think she needs to find something that is hers...selling on ebay will not take her in the other direction...in that case she will still be home but earning money and having a sense of self...I agree, ignoring the problem is not the answer but finding one's ability is not going to ruin her marriage. There are millions/billions of two income families out there that have strong marriages.
