If you think about it, a good housewife is a valuable but highly undervalued person.
If someone had to pay for all the things she does, well, it would be expensive.
I think its really cool, what it says in Proverbs about the issue:
'Who can find a capable wife?
Her value is far more than that of corals'
At the time this was written red coral was highly prized and was made into beads and other ornaments.
You might enjoy reading about all the aspects of a 'capable wife'. The rest of the chapter lists the things she does that make her so valuable. (Proverbs 10: 10-31)

This will now make many men feel to lose the desire to get married.
Does the wife pay the husband anything for whatever good she gets out of the husband?

@TerribleMan marriage should be based on love and respect, people should do things voluntarily and on their own without expecting payment for people they love.

That sounds like a great idea, but I'd have my concerns about it. I'm not against people being paid for what they do, of course, but I can see it causing problems. I guess it depends how it works. I'd wonder if husbands are then going to decide on set hours and tasks for their wives, or ask them to contribute financially so they wouldn't really be better off anyway. I would hope it does turn out positively, but I'm not convinced it will do.

That's weird because he is working for the family I don't see the reason why he should pay her, when even the money will be used for the both of them.
