Married at First Sight star Bobby Dodd would love for his wife Danielle Bergman to be a stay-at-home mom one day, but he realizes it's not his decision to make.

"I think it could be healthy for the kid, but ultimately, whatever Danielle is happy with being, whatever is best for our family, and for Danielle and I and our child, is what it's going to be."
Bobby and Danielle, an account executive, exchanged vows at the altar without even knowing each other's names. Although they both went into the marriage blind, Bobby and Danielle have had one of the strongest relationships in show history.
The couple have yet to fight, and Bobby described his marriage as a "Perfect 10" weeks into the process.
The only sign of struggle, however, was when Danielle revealed to Bobby she'd like to continue working when she becomes a mother.
Bobby, with his traditional southern values, desires the opposite given both his mother and sister raised their children at home while the men worked.
"Danielle is a really hard worker. She's got a great career -- has had one for a really long time. And if she chooses to pursue that, then more power to her," Bobby explained.
"I'm not somebody who is just going to make her stay home with the kids. I mean, that's not what kind of life [I want]."

Jamie then asked Bobby, "But is that your preference? Because you did say on the honeymoon that that is your preference."
"I did say, 'In a perfect world, if I had it my way, you would be a stay-at-home mom.' Sure. But I do realize in today's day and age that it's not often that that happens," reasoned Bobby, a project manager.

"A lot of women have careers and a lot of women have more wealthy careers than men these days. Danielle makes more money than I do, and I'm not shy to say that. So when she sacrifices her job when we have kids, when that day comes -- if she does -- we'll be taking a pay cut."
Bobby's Married at First Sight co-star, Amber Martorana, made an appearance on Unfiltered as well, and Jamie asked her to share her thoughts on being a stay-at-home mom.
"I've kind of always seen myself that way, if I were to have children, because my mom stayed home with us, and I couldn't imagine it being any other way," revealed Amber, who is married to Dave Flaherty on Season 7 of the Lifetime reality series.
This conversation hit close to home for Jamie, who married Doug Hehner on Season 1 of Married at First Sight.

When the pair welcomed their daughter Henley, Jamie hoped to put her career on hold so she could focus on her family.
"I genuinely always dreamed of being a stay-at-home mom, like, I really wanted to do that," Jamie shared.
"But we really couldn't afford that in our family. So, here I am, and I actually love being a working mom too. There are times when it's hard, but it's all doable."
