Do u think a wife should be a housewife or should do some job and earn like the husband for a happy marriage?

Answer 1

I dont care who stays at home, a man or a woman, but that is what is wrong with the kids today,, BOTH Parents have to work,

so Pay levels have gone DOWN because there is so much competition for a job now,, back in 50's and 60's when mostly men worked, they made more money because companies wanted to keep them on, Now employees are a dime a dozen

Answer 2

A happy marriage will be based on whether or not the people involved are doing what they feel good about doing. If one person isn't happy, the marriage isn't going to be. If the wife wants to work and can't, then she won't be happy. If the wife doesn't want to work, but instead stay home with the kids, yet she has to work, she won't be happy.

I believe we went from a male dominated workforce to almost everyone working and now we have to make our way back to the middle. I believe that people need to choose, individually, what is right for them.

There are a lot of good things about a wife staying home with the children, and incidentally, that is a far harder job than any other. So as far as 'some job' is concerned - if you're lucky enough to have a wife who wants to stay home and take on the hardest job of all - that's a real bonus - if it can be afforded!

Answer 3

I'd much rather be a housewife. I don't want to throw my kids in daycare and have someone else raise them for me. Women these days put their careers ahead of their husbands and family, that's the most selfish thing you can do. Women feel like they need to have a career to have some power in the relationship, and they feel that they are too good to be a housewife. Not true. I find the housewives are nicer people, and they have the most prestigious career of all. The man should be the sole provider. I work, but we don't have kids right now. We are putting money away so when we do have kids, I will be able to stay home with them.

Answer 4

The trend of working spouse and housewife began to change
50 yrs ago as the divorce rate climbed. Equalization in the
team is wise when they have joint accounts, separate accounts
and open a savings for each child born. They both partake in
paying expenses in proportion to their income. When a crisis
comes along, (job injury or death) the other spouse is not in
total devastation. Non-working periods to gain more education are less difficult to manage. Happiness need not just grow more for one than the other, and security as well. A wife working
part-time, and mother, is better prepared to jump in and take charge for the team or alone if she must, than the wife that
has not worked out of the home. Should a man burn out from
the weight of his work & married years, separate, a housewife
has no provisions until going to court, if he can be found.
Some of the most beautiful people I've known ended like this.

Answer 5

I'm in a traditional marriage and very happy, but some of my fiends (also with tradition) are going stir crazy staying at home. So I would say its up to each couple individually what ever keeps ya happy & with food on the table!

P.S. Volunteer work can always help a bord housewife or a partime job.

Answer 6

it depends on both husband and wife.
some should work if the husband and the $$$ situation requires it. but others agree that the wife is for children care and home duties (pay bills, go shopping, clean, cook) but being a housewife or a working wife should be mutual choice!

Answer 7

I think that the womans place is in the home. my husband and I are doing financially fine and he takes care of us all, and I do the housework and the meals and stuff like that and all he is expected to do is pay the bills and take out the garbage. It was me that brought it up and he likes it. Im 24 and he is 25. If I wanted a job outside the home it would be very hard fo me to leave my kids in the care of others as I dont trust anyone with them. And he also agrees with this too.

Answer 8

That all depends on the situation. If the husband is the sole money earner and is stressed out financially, then yes, she should work. But if he can afford to do it then she doesn't have to. It all depends on the situation. There are no right or wrong answers here and nothing is written in any rulebooks that say what you can and cannot do. This is your relationship. You handle it as best you know how and what is best for you. Nevermind what everyone else says or thinks.

Answer 9

She should do whatever makes everyone happy. If she is a housewife and doesn't want to be, then she will be miserable, which will in turn make her marriage miserable. If she wants to have a career, then she obviously shouldn't marry someone who expects otherwise. If she wants to be a housewife, she shouldn't marry someone who expects her to contribute financially to the household.

Answer 10

If the second income isn't needed to maintain the household finances, then the wife should consider herself very lucky & stay home & take care of things there. If the husband & wife are truly happy with that arrangement, then so be it.
