Totally agree. Wouldn’t have missed it for the world.

just live their life instead of making it a show.100% - too many look for the likes and social media justification. Just do your thing.

Ok whatever
Gather around the radio as a family.
You act like electricity is a modern invention.

But women entering the workforce, greatly increased the available supply of labor, putting downward pressure on wages.

There might be something to that, except that I purposefully chose (and so did my wife) someone's whose core values (traditional Roman Catholicism) would make such less likely, NOT only because of our own beliefs at the time, but also because our friends and families largely share those beliefs, and either of us would be somewhat ostracized if we acted in such a hypocritical manner. My wife's peers (friends at church and family members) would NOT encourage her on such a path.
In short, I found someone whose values are from a different era, and hold them myself. In our case, I don't make so much money that there is any pot of gold for her to tap into, and since she is a homemaker/homeschooler, her workload would be increased, not decreased.
It is challenging, but I know too many good marriages (MANY) with folks much younger where the collapse you describe remains highly unlikely.

They’re both cute! Good for her! I have been seeing a trend in young wives beginning to ditch the world’s Marxist nonsense that a woman has to militantly place work in front of her family and home to be fulfilled. That’s not everyone’s calling. Happy to see young Christians leading the way.
To: Dr. Sivana
As I see it every day, everything is transactional with the younger generations. They haven’t shown a propensity of doing anything long term. Those that do are more the exception than the rule. I see young women like her getting roasted online for her choices. The Feminazis demean her as being the antithesis of freedom.
That was my entire point.
Merry Christmas to you and yours!

It was a time of declining manufacturing jobs and women largely benefited from the growing service sector. Job opportunities increase wages in some instances because the shift in the labor participation is caused by increased demand.

She looks more confused going out to brave the prairie on Instagram. Who gets hitched at 18 to a guy introduced by the parents because they always dreamed of marrying young ? There has never been an era where that is the norm. Fortunately no kids involved yet (besides herself :).
