It's a societal view though, not hard-coded as the OP suggested. Also, there is an issue of gender pay inequality that is a factor here. In most fields, women still do not receive equal pay, so how can they make up half or more than the income in a relationship in more instances (obviously in the 38% they do, but not more than that). I don't think we'll see that number rise substantially until pay inequality is further addressed.
