i guess so its completely up to her, marriage is what you both decide you want in your lives and doesn't give either partner power so they can still decide want they want to do (with in reason) but think of your lives if you both work your house could be twice as big and you could afford twice as much

One of the good things about the feminist movement was that it emphasized personal choice - the choice to work...but also the choice not to. It's perfectly alright to want to be a homemaker!
That said, you have to be realistic. How are you going to support yourself? If you're married and your husband supports the idea, great - but make sure you have life insurance (and accident insurance) on him (and a prenuptial agreement) in the event of an accident that could leave you penniless and without the experience or skills to work.
If you're married but your husband doesn't support the idea...then you need to ask yourself how much strain this is going to put on the marriage. My own wife wants to be a lifetime homemaker, but because of that we have to move from the city (where my income alone cannot make ends meet) to a smaller town - we are working together for this, however.
If you're not married...then you need to ask yourself where you'll get money from. You may have to get a job in the near future, and finding the right kind of man who's willing to let you get married and stop working may be harder than you think these days! However, don't give up on your dreams. It's what your mother and grandmother fought for - choice.

No. Woman should not stop working. No one can guaranteed that her husband will forever faithfull to her. Anything happen, she able to take care herself. Being a homemaker for too long especially without children is bored. Life is different when you have a job with a lot of friends and colleauge.......

Why not?
Now I'm assuming by "homemaker", you mean the person in charge of the cleaning/ shopping/ tasks and errands involved in maintaining a beautiful, inviting home.
It is a wonderful thing. The daytime tv junkies that just stay at home on the couch give it a bad name.
If you are so fortunate to dedicate your life to your home and husband, and not your job, enjoy! :)
Best wishes!

Yes if that's her desire. And she making it comfortable for her husband to come home. Soon or later she might get bored. Who knows. If that's her choice and if your the man in her life and you know that's want she whats and marry her don't do know complaining after you marry her. If you want a working women then you better leave homemaker alone.

If her and her husband are both in agreement and happy with the situation and the family is not struggling financially there should be no problem. There are many other things a person can do with their time. Many wonderful organizations to volunteer for and ways to give back to the community.

Usually housewives have children to take care of, but that doesn't have to be the case I suppose. If your husband's job covers both of your expenses and you're otherwise financially stable, then it's up to you whether or not to work outside the home. I personally couldn't stand being in the house all day, but then again, to each his own...or her own, in this case.

Yes it is. As long as you and your husband agree and it is not causing problems. Enjoy it and don't worry about if it is okay. If it works for you and your husband then it is good. Have fun with it and make the most of it.

Of course it's okay. See man is supposed to labor out side of the house and women are supposed to labor at home.
