I guess the part I don't understand (maybe I'm obtuse in this regard) but why do people need convinced to work? I have wanted shit in life and then set out and worked for it. If a household needs the money to achieve goals then why are all these wives needing convincing?

I think for my wife she just wants to stay at home with the kid. Prior to that she worked full time for the last 10ish years. I don't know if she'll be like the other wives here that don't want to work.
Maybe she'll work at ihop

We only get one go at life, if a spouse would rather spend those years with their children then pursue other mutual goals it seems like that is the kind of things a couple should work out prior to coupling. Anytime in life you are having to coerce someone to action it's going to be a pain in the dick. Jobs/Money seems like an easier one since it shouldn't be hard to align the interest of the two partners.
So the answer to mkopec is work harder to have her see the perceived benefit of her working if you succeed you won't need to convince her to do anything as she'll want to do it.

That's totally fair point but couple often have long standing goals, their dream vacation home, things they want to do when they retire. Desires as far as standard of living I would imagine dont usually make stark changes over time but maybe I'm wrong on that and content people suddendly become driven and vice versa but that is not what I have witnessed

Just depends. When you marry young people change. I used to like to party but my ex and I talked about settling down, buying a house, having kids. So we got married. Eventually into this plan she realized she didn't want to settle down, she didn't want to work full time or pursue her goals, she didn't want to do anything. I married a dud.

He did. During sex he introduced biotoxin into her system that would eventually turn into a parasite, sapping all life from her body. Backfired on him, though, and he got a daughter instead. Though, that may have been his original intent.

I have been so tempted to do this. For me, its not the time, its the money. She cannot stay on a weekly food budget to save her life. I cant understand this. I can do a weeks shopping in under an hour and easily stay in the weekly budget ($150). For some reason she consistently blows through the months food budget in the first two weeks by "shopping sales" and "stocking up". I'm like woman, buy enough for a weeks worth of meals and go home. Its isnt rocket science.
But as you correctly point out, winning an argument can lose the war.
