Yes, I can read. And no where does it say men should earn a paycheck and wives should stay home. You completely make up that connection.
These verses are an admonishment to men and women to love each other fully and completely as God loves us. They are not to dictate who meets what family needs. If anything, they plead with both the husband and wife to look to God for discernment in all things in the marriage.

And let’s quote the entire Ephesians (from Chapter 5) verses while we are at it22 Wives should be subordinate to their husbands as to the Lord. 23 For the husband is head of his wife just as Christ is head of the church, he himself the savior of the body. 24 As the church is subordinate to Christ, so wives should be subordinate to their husbands in everything. 25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ loved the church and handed himself over for her 26 to sanctify her, cleansing her by the bath of water with the word, 27 that he might present to himself the church in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish. 28 So (also) husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29 For no one hates his own flesh but rather nourishes and cherishes it, even as Christ does the church, 30 because we are members of his body.
