No our marriage is not based on our shared employment (We have been married for the past 10 years, while she hasn't worked).
It is based on a shared vision of our future.
I see no evidence that we have such a shared vision. The vision that we seem to have is more anagolous to that between slave and master rather than husband and wife.
So without sharing, I have my own, separate vision of freedom. Without her in this picture I anticipate paying 30% child support, but no "spousal maintainance" since, if she chose to, she could work. This is much less than the % I pay now. Of course the primium is paid for the privilage of seeing my kids whenever I wish (while I'm not working, which won't be much if I gotta take a second job).
