Growing up, I always knew I wanted to just be a wife and mother. I had every intention of marrying a man who wanted me to have children and be the one home full time with them. We absolutely talked about it before marriage and Ken was fully on board. He had every intention of being the provider for our family and thankfully, he has been for 37 years.
There are way too many women I hear about who are postponing marriage and having children for their careers. Then when they finally get married, their husbands want them to continue working since they make good money. Suzanne Venker wrote about this.

They found that when women earned more than their husbands, they were more likely to use anti-anxiety medications and more likely to suffer from insomnia. No, God did NOT wire women to be men. Our hormones prove this. Our physical build proves this. Everything about us proves that this is not our role in society no matter how hard feminists have fought to say that it is.
Men are made to provide and protect for their families. She only has so much energy and most of her energy must go to her work to keep it, then to her children, then her home, and nothing is left for her husband. Way too steep of a price. Men have ten times the testosterone for a reason. Laura always used to say. Many women who try to do this eventually suffer from burned out adrenals and ill-health.
Half of medical and dental school students are women these days. This is tragic for the women: for the men whose jobs they are taking away, for the lack of children they will be having, and for their future marriage. Stop the madness, women. Marry a godly husband who wants to work hard and be the provider. It exists because pregnancy, childbirth and the needs of babies invariably make women vulnerable. Bearing and raising godly offspring while being keepers at home is what children, husbands, and this culture needs more than anything else.
