Maybe. Maybe not. "Who Mourns for Adonias?" also touches on the results of marriage and female officers.
MCCOY: And he thinks he's the right man for her, but I'm not sure she thinks he's the right man. On the other hand, she's a woman. All woman. One day she'll find the right man and off she'll go, out of the service.
KIRK: I like to think of it not so much losing an officer as gaining....
SCOTT: Come along.
(He and Carolyn enter the turbolift.)
KIRK: Actually, I'm losing an officer.
Being married to your immediate superior can constitute a conflict of interest. Regardless of what the animated series said later about Sarah and Robert April (the original series is not responsible for what came later), during BoT, the line can suggest that Angela will at least be transferred to another department.
I always thought it reflected the automatic cultural assumption that when a career girl gets married, her next step is to quit that job and start a family.
"Balance of Terror" was filmed during a transitional era, but a lot of women in 1966 still went to college to get their MRS degree and retire. And if you know where to look on social media, tons of girls today are posting videos to say they're tired of working, and won't some successful guy please come along and "wife me up!"
Yes, because relationships don't involve work... 
I'm sure I'll see them in my office too, next the guys terrified of asking girls out because of fear of being accused or not wanting baggage from past relationships.

That's a weird term, but I can see that some women are fine with the idea of it. They want to be full time moms, and they're looking for a guy who can support a family and wants kids. And as an ex child care provider myself, I see the raising and nurturing of the next generation as a noble cause, whatever your gender.
I also assumed that. Judging by American media, I get the impression that only single women have a job over there. Even in modern series. Whenever they show a teacher, for example, she's single. At least in sitcoms. Married women seem to be always housewives.
That's how I took it.
My wife is an AVP for a financial institution, I’m a stay-at-home hobo.
My wife runs her own business and treasurer for a nonprofit.
I work 40+.

How old are the sitcoms you're watching?
The Simpsons or Family Guy, for example. Most movies that depict families.
Anything from this century?
Darlene and Jackie from the Connors have several jobs.
In Last Man Standing the wife is a Geologist/Teacher
In the King of Queens the wife is a secretary,
In Dharma and Greg, Dharma is a yoga instructor
Even way back in the 80s Claire Huxtable was a lawyer
Elyse from Family Ties was an architect,
Rosanne held various jobs.
In the 90s Vivian Banks (The Fresh Prince) was a professor
The mother is Boy Meets World is a real estate agent
Mad About You features Jamie who's in PR
Just best friends.
I see people still trying to judge a 1966 line of dialog by 2025 standards.
In 1966, "temporarily at least, I am still your superior officer" was a joke about wives casting off the submissive, demure guise used to "catch" their man, and becoming "the boss" of the house once they were married.

Unless the original writer wants to chime in, it is all open to interpretation. Being born in 1971, I can really only interpret the line through the world I grew up in.
Well, to quote "My Big Fat Greek Wedding", the man is the head of the house, but the woman is the neck. And she can turn the head any way she wants.
Thank you for your reply! I am unsure of what you are getting at, to be honest.
The Simpsons and Family Guy are still on.
