Bismillah,
''Islam is only talking about money in the marriage.''
I don't think that statement is quite true, ONLY, but it is also a part of life. Somehow one has to support a family, we cannot live of air simly. And there will be no doubts about who has the responsibility. Allah, Subhanahu wa Ta'ala has given the guidelines. Masha'Allah such a straight path, no questions has to arise about who has to do what.
''And among His Signs is this, that He created for you mates from among yourselves, that ye may dwell in tranquillity with them, and He has put love and mercy between your (hearts): verily in that are Signs for those who reflect.''
The Qur'an 30:21
''And Allah has made for you mates (and companions) of your own nature, and made for you, out of them, sons and daughters and grandchildren, and provided for you sustenance of the best: will they then believe in vain things, and be ungrateful for Allah's favours?''
THe Qur'an 16:72
''O mankind! reverence your Guardian-Lord, who created you from a single person, created, of like nature, His mate, and from them twain scattered (like seeds) countless men and women;- reverence Allah, through whom ye demand your mutual (rights), and (reverence) the wombs (That bore you): for Allah ever watches over you.''
The Qur'an 4:1
