I don't necessarily agree about earning more. For example, many couples are frugal so that mom can stay at home and not have to be out earning. There are lifestyle issues that are not just financial. Having one parent stay home isn't the best choice as far as earning money is concerned, but if it is a priority for you, you do what you need to do to make it work.
