It depends. If your husband earns enough income to be able to support the family and you can stay home and run the house then no. But today, it is hard to run a house on one income. I don't feel a family should go through hardship because the wife doesn't want to work. It is hard and in the case if the wife has to work then it would then be appropriate for her husband to help with household duties. A marriage is a commitment from two people to work together. That means doing what is necessary to support the family. If both need to work then both need to run the house as well. If one can stay home, the other should run the house to support the one who earns the income.

Now a days it is a must. It is hard to live in society with only one income in the home. Things are so sky high even the necessities of living are hard to get with just one income. I think if the kids are small and not able to talk then the women should stay at home otherwise they should bring some money into the household. Not only will you be able to help out with necessities you will also feel better about contributing. Just say that a woman did stay at home for years and the man was bringing home enough to support the household then something can happen to the man and then the wife will have no experience in the working field.

It depends on what else the wife is responsible for. Is she the caretaker of the home, does the laundry, cares for the children, cleans, is a taxi, irons shirts, scrubs the toilets, shops for food, does repair work around the house, etc, etc, etc. If a wife can do it, and the husband SHARE in the home responsibilities, then if they agree, then she should do it.
There are more ways to contribute financially besides a paycheck. Which would you prefer..and wife who works and spends 500$ a month on child care and bearly breaks even, or a wife you saves you $500 a month in child care. Laundry can be taken OUT for 50 $, but you can do it at home for $10. It depends on the financial needs, comparing what you spend and what you save when working or not working outside the home

Only if the decision is made between the husband and wife. If there are children in the marriage that has to be considered before the wife can go outside the home to be able to make a financial contribution to the family.
I worked a job outside the home, maintained my home, raised my children and kept my hubby satisfied all my life. A LOT of women do it. You can do it too.'

It depends on the situation.
If she is spending an inordinate amount for child care, it is ridiculous for her to work to pay the sitter when she could be home giving the standard of care the kids deserve.
If there are no small children involved, she should definitely be out there and contributing, unless there is a mitigating factor involved in why she can't.
If you can split the babysitting or eliminate it, then she should consider working outside the home if it can be done without overburdening the relationship between the two spouses if the money is an absolute need in making it from week to week.

This all depends on if you have any small children? My brother has two small children and his wife can't work. To put the two small kids in daycare would cost as much as the salary his wife would get from work.
So the answer is. If you have kids in the house. It is difficult for the wife to work, unless it is a top paying job.

I don't think any woman should put herself in the position of depending on someone else for support. I work because I am able to work, there is no reason why I can't work, I don't have to ask my husband for a dime. I pay my share of the household expenses and he pays his. Marriage is a partnership, not a free ride.

I believe that men who want wives to make a contribution to the home should marry women who are assertive and have a strong work ethic.
I have a friend who married a very non-threatening passive woman who isn't motivated to work outside the home and he is all upset. Now they are retiring with no savings.

If the wife is working then she should contribute what she can without putting a strain on her wallet. If he takes care of the house and she takes care of the daycare & house supplies then I say that she is doing her part.
