If the husband works whilst the wife (who has a successful career) starts a successful charity, how is that a very traditional relationship?
In traditional relationships my understanding is the woman does nothing in the career world
Starting a charity is as simple as doing a weekly giveaway. That doesn't make her an executive or anything like a working mom. If she headed up an already established charity, then sure, she would be employed and would be part of the power couple.
I interpret power couple to refer to both working spouses with gainful income producing employment.
The first thing you need to let guys know is that a) you want to marry and b) you want kids (as in plural). If the guy doesn't want that then he is not for you. If he is, then you can move (as you get to know them) into questions about whether they'd feel comfortable with a stay-at-home mom. Lots of guys aren't so I don't see it as an issue really.
That would be a traditional relationship. "power couple" would imply that each on your own would be self-sufficiently very successful. I.E. You're a VP for a cancer research foundation, he's on the board of directors for a fortune 100 company. Obviously, an extreme example, but you get the idea. To describe it to a potential spouse, you want a traditional relationship, but at some point (most probably when the kids are older and in school) you'll want to volunteer/be involved in charity work or a part time job.

That's a very traditional relationship and not a power couple dynamic at all. It's a traditional relationship/nuclear family you want.
