even scarier are the times when the wife hasn't worked for whatever reason and also hasn't handled the finances, and the relationship goes south. completely up a creek without a paddle...

again, i would say this could apply to men and women both. very few people, regardless of gender, find such a truly rewarding and inspiring career that they'd be willing to work for free. if you're not willing to work for free, you're doing it for money, not love, and that can happen no matter what your gender.
as for folks who don't want to go out and get a job or who aren't interested: i guess it's a great gig if you can get it, but when times are tough you gotta buck up and deal. if that means taking a job you hate to be able to afford to keep the house, deal with it. if it means OT so you can pay for a car repair, that's life.
