mezonos maven- gavra at work-ben melech- the mishneh (avos 5-25) says; ” at five, you teach a child mikroh, at ten, mishneh, at thirteen mitzvos, at fifteen gemoro, at eighteen marriage, at twenty “lirdof”-to pursue a livelihood (yes- work)”
although today times have changed and the way of learning too(we certainly teach mishneh and gemoro much earlier, although the MaHaral was very unhappy about this), the general idea of the misheh is still with us. You learn till you become eligible for marriage (then eighteen,possibly a bit later today)and then he learns for two years and then, the young man should go out to work!!!!
this correct way of living is repeated many times in shas. kiddushin, of course, with the chiyuvim on the father, berochos- showing that you MUST work to feed yourself and other ways are NOT succesful and , of course, kesubos, where it is crystal clear that the husnad has obligations to his wife, that include feeding her and clothing her.
There are no chyuvim on the wife in that realm at all.
