Should all women get a good education just in case situations like this happen? I respect women who want to stay home and raise their children, but what would happen if her husband just left or died?

Good point.
My wife's mother was a stay-at-home mother, but she and her husband were very religious, and he wouldn't have thought of leaving her.
However, my wife got a college education, and is now working. But when we have kids, we have agreed she will be a stay-at-home mom.
I hope that doesn't mean she doesn't trust me.
--P.S. I want to be a stay-at-home dad, so I don't have to go to work every day. I would rather work around the house. But my wife won't let me...

If they don't, they should! I firmly believe that every woman needs a good education. Perhaps not before children, but while she is raising them she should not neglect herself.
As soon as my children were in school I started to take classes for a better education. It not only reassured me that I was capable of raising the kids alone if need be but gave me the confidence in my ability to get a decent job that increased our income to better the lives of our Children. Thankfully, I never had to do it alone.

Women learn how to cope and any woman that can take care of house and kids can work in the world. Trust me, I know, I have 3 kids, and am now a stay at home mom. I can easily do alot of jobs out there. But childcare is too expensive to work. But single mothers learn. Its instinct.

Nice answer jessica,but that didn't prove true for my ex-wife. Instinct? When it comes to ALOT of women there is no such thing. I recommend every woman get an education, but even with educaation if they are LAZY and think the world owes them a liveing, it makes no difference what they have; education or instinct.

ALL women get concerned when the court ordered child support payments aren't on time or don't come at all. Statistically the man's standard of living goes up and the woman's/children's go down after divorce.
That's when it hits. Until then most married women (and men) think, at least as they are making babies, that it will last, don't they?

Well, since I'm a stay at home mom, I guess you are asking me.
No, I don't worry my husband will leave me, never have worried he would. Having a good marriage has NOTHING to do with working or staying at home. In fact our marriage has worked better since I do not work.
oh, and before I stayed at home and raised our kids from birth......I was a teacher. I got an education for myself.not for 'backup'

Mine finished her masters before I did. When the time is right for children we're stable enough that she can take a few years off and pick back up where she left off with her career.

Everyone should be prepared for the worse. My wife never worked outside the home, and I was well insured but not everyone has the means that I have had.

LOL
The moms often get knocked up just to be able to take the house, the 401k, etc.

Is this a political question or a culture question?
