So lovechild, you contribute nothing to the marriage unless you bring in assets and a paycheck?
Example:
What if I bring nothing into the marriage and do not have a college education? I was brn poor and my family has nothing.
But, I marry a man right after college. I stay with him during the rough times and have children. I am a good wife. I clean, cook meals for my family daily, do most of the child rearing including doctors appointments, etc. I pay the household bills, go grocery shopping and do household repairs such as painting and upkeep such as gardening. I do the laundry and press my husband's shirts before work. I help the kids with their homework, I research and advise my husband on retirement plans. I make sure I keep myself healthy and make and effort to keep our sex life satisfying. My husband's elderly mother moves in and I also care for her. I fill prescriptions and wash her clothes and cook her meals. Our children get older and I decide to get a part time job. Husband has an affair and says he wants a divorce. The kids are over 18 and in college.
