Can a woman truly love her husband?

I've read numerous women who post on manosphere blogs claim they are truly devoted to their husbands and are above any kind of feminist imperatives. Some recent comments I've read at The Rational Male  (regarding the females conception of "love") got me thinking on a particular case in point.

Let's say the husband is out there working long hours (breaking his back) for the family (assume traditional Christian). In the wife's free time, while the kids are at school, she decides to write some young-adult fiction. Let's say she looks for a publisher, with the hope that it becomes popular and she might become a millionaire like Stephanie Myers? of Twilight Fame.

Ok so now she's rich, the husband is redundant; just an ordinary and overshadowed man; while she is the wealthy, gifted individual.

What is the solution (or answer to the riddle) here? If a woman was truly devoted to her marriage in a "traditional" sense of male headship... what is the way this situation should have played out?

a. She refuses to write or cash in on the novel. (impossible)
b. She does it anyway and gets rich.... Why should her genius go unnoticed?
c. ?
