As a man looking for a wife, it is essential that any potential life partner is willing to have children, help you raise them, love you, cook for the family, clean the home, make you happy in the bridal bedroom, while you make her happy there too. But it is not possible that she would do all these things and still maintain a full-time job to support you financially. And that is why women look for a man who is rich enough to financially support her and any children she will have for you. It does not make them gold diggers. It makes them practical and prudent! You are not ready for marriage if you are not ready to carry this load.
