It seems like a truly archaic idea now, but years ago there was an expectation between heterosexual couples that the man was responsible for working and bringing home the money while the woman's job was to keep the house clean and the kids fed.
Thankfully, it's now 2019 and women aren't being treated as their spouse's personal live-in maid anymore (or at least, they shouldn't be.)
But despite the societal change, there are some marriages out there that still somewhat abide by these more traditional male and female roles. So much so that when the man decides to pick up a broom, the woman nearly faints from shock.
