I think she should do what she wants to. What she should do is weigh all the reasons for and against, her feelings and values, taking into consideration the opinion of others, but it should still be her choice. The reason shouldn't be just because someone asked her to. It helps when you both want the same things from a relationship though!
That is a very personal topic that a fiance needs to talk about before getting married. Everyone is different and we all have different mindset. I say each to their own. Personality I like taking care of my kids , cleaning , Cooking. Nothing wrong but I have to work lol
No she shouldn't, unless she also wants to be a stay at home wife. If she doesn't do what she wants and she doesn't work then what's going to happen to her if they divorce? She will have nothing. She shouldn't be so dependent on him, that's never a good idea.
The answer is not a yes or no, if he wants his wife to but she doesn't want to then they should understand why they both think the way they do and whoever has a reasonable opinion should be the one to decide. if the man's reason is he doesn't want the kids in public school then I think that may be more reasonable than anything she can say (there is probably something though) but if the home is already struggling to make ends meet then, by all means, she should probably still be working.
I believe that is a conversation between the two of how they want to build their life together. Wife and husband is a bond of partnership. The day u decided and see that u want to spend ur life with that person is the day u make a decision that it's going to be the partner for life before marriage. It is something to talk about from the beginning of the relationship in order to have an understanding and work as a team. From BIG decision making to a forever home.
Nope, its up to the women.
I work two jobs and my wife stays at home with the kids.
I keep asking her if she wants to look for a job, financially we still live paycheck to paycheck. I really do need some help coming up with money, but i would never tell her to get a job.
I love her for who she is not what she does.
Interesting viewpoint. I think it should be mutual and I think one should know before they even get into the relationship. Cause it sounds like you want a wife that will work and she wants to not work. But your problem is more so that you earn money from working. Earning money from working is the worse way to earn money. You earn money from providing a service or product. You work for pleasure. Anyway I still respect your ways and you definitely are a true man. I respect it a lot.
@PoliteSpeaker thank you so much.
I never actually wanted a wife that works. It just the times we are in that two jobs can't get us ahead. And even if its not a glamorous way to make money. People need people to sell and make the product and services or no one makes money.
As it is now i make pizza, arguably some of the best. And i cut meat for a small town grocery. Both in my opinion are good products and my service to the community is appreciated.
Not at all. It’s definitely something that should be figured out before marriage and kids or just kids whatever. My wife and I wanted one of us to be home for the kids while they were little and I was able to make the most money and she loved being a stay at home mom. So I busted my ass working 2 jobs both hard labor and went to school and she held it down at home. It worked best for us but everyone is different
Honestly the question isn't the right one. The question should be: Should we know what we want before we get into the relationship? You should already know if you want your wife to work or be a stay at home wife. And then from there you go out and find that girl who fits with you. You don't go find a girl and then try to make her fit or change yourself to fit her. That is scarcity mindset at best.
If both parties want, then she should.
If not both want, but it is needed at the time, and the husband has more reason to keep his job, then she should.
If not the above cases, then she should do whatever she thinks best. In the above cases I think that her being a stay at home mom is best.
I'm actually a stay at home mama myself, and my husband asked me to be one because his income alone is more then enough to take care of us and our son. I think its completely up to you if being a stay at home mama is something that you want to do. If not then talk to your husband about your authentic feelings and make sure he understands in a gentle way how you feel. If you do, thank go for it! It's a huge blessing to become a stay at home mama!💗
No i dont believe that. If he is providing a good income for the household and she wants to add more to it, she is more than welcome. I would hate to be home all day, every day and doing nothing but home duties. I think that if i were to feel that way, i wouldn't like it and would want to instead find s job to do something else. Its our life, being committed doesn't automatically make you property of the other person nor does it allow the other person to control you.
I think a woman should do what she feels is right for her. Some women believe they are there to serve their husband's that's fine if it's what they want but my opinion when it comes to a relationship is that both are equal. Decisions should be discussed and agreed upon by both.
Yep she should but only if she loves it and consider it the norm...
Personally i'll never marry a girl who wants to work after marriage...
I appreciate, admire and support every devoted housewife 😌
Also the main role of a woman is becoming a housewife, she works inside while the man works outside "traditional gender roles"...
She's the love, warmth and peace at home 😊
No. Not unless it makes sense for the household and that's what she wants to do. Most couples cannot elect to do this. It's a bad thing for the woman's career and she'll be fully reliant on her man in a world where there is a lot of divorce and a lot of unstable jobs.
Only if she wants to. She doesn't have to though. But if that is his goal, then he needs to find someone who wants that. Not force it on anyone. Reverse it. What if the girl automatically tells the guy she wants to be a stay at home wife and he needs to pay all the bills, and he has to support her all of her shopping habits too. Has to pay for her car insurances, her phone, everything. Just saying.
If he makes enough money so that they have a disposable income that allows her to live a comfortable life without working, I think if she wants to, I thinks it’s a good idea, save the stress, of her working, particularly if the job she does is not a seriously skilled position, something she never went to university for, and is not going to adversely effect her own career.
Women have to be working part time at least. We have so many labour saving devices in the home now. I keep my house in working order, take care of a dog and work 40+ hours anf still find time to go out and try to meet women. Being a stay home mom full time is crazy unless she is homeshooling several children.
Stay at home wife doesn't mean she can't enjoy her life and is doing house work all the time.
Even onlyfans girls can be stay at home and still work from home and enjoy and maintain their lifestyle.
I think it is mutual understanding between the two so she should accept if it bothers him so much. But then again, stay at home isn't necessarily a bad thing
This should be a topic brought up before the wedding. If she is OK with being a house wife, fine. If she wants to work in a job outside then she should be allowed. If the guy really loves her, he will allow her choice and respect it.
It depends if they agreed on that before marriage you can’t just assume she wants to stay at home. And another thing is that sometimes having a stay at home wife doesn’t make sense, if a family is poor then both parents should definitely work rather than survive on one income.
