It's a job, not a life sentence. Take it, but if it negatively effects your marriage or your life in general...quit.

Yes, you should take the job. Don't just rely on your husbands money. What if something happens to him on the way home from work, and unable to support you and your habits. Then what.....the stress level increases, and then you are kicking yourself in the behind for not taking the job in the first place. Also, God and Satan don't have anything to do with you making up your own mind. Do what is right for the family and take the job. Save the money you make, or pay off all of your bills with it. So when you do start having children, your husband will not have to worry about supporting two people, and making sure that all of the bills are paid.

It really all depends on whether or not you want a career. A career is made up of several progressive steps should lead you to your ultimate occupation. Each job you take should be a challenge and a step forward. This job seems to answer that definition. I think your real question is whether you want a working career or if being a Mom might not be your career choice.
I think that is a hard question to answer this early so why not take the job with an eye towards starting down this career path and then make your ultimate decision once your baby comes.

Gosh, it seems to me you want a lot of things at the same time. If you want to stay home once you become a mum - then that's your plan. If you want to work on a career now - then that's what you should do. In my experience most choices should be based on gut feelings. What feels right?
Good luck

I would take the job, and quit when you want to.
Your real problem, is that you don't want to promise them you will stay for years and then quit.
They would not have any qualms about letting you go, and they expect people to quit as circumstances dictate.
Just follow your heart and be honest with them.

I can't tell you if either God or Satan is talking to you, but from my knowledge of the Bible, we are to use wisdom and knowledge in all things. Good luck.
