Marriage should have nothing to do with whether you work or not. If you had a job before you got maried, you should keep your job after.
Once children come into the picture, you and your husband should decide, together, if you are going to be a stay at home mom. Personally, I think all mom's should stay home for at least the first couple of years, but that is just my opinion.

Wives should work outside the home, or have their own home based business. Housework, cooking, and the like are not substitutes for a real job with real responsibilities as well as intellectual growth and financial independence.
The only reason not to have a job is if she and her husband decide she should be the one to stay home to raise their kids. And once the kids are in school, she should go back to work. There is a huge financial risk to women who stay out of the workforce for too long, not to mention it puts too much financial pressure on the husband.

That is a personal choice. I believe that being a parent is the most important job there is. I personally would have a hard time putting our little girl in day care while I work. I would be sick in not getting to see the milestones of her growing and developing. But there are other women that have to work and I don't judge them.

Personally, I think all women should work after marriage, as should men, to keep the sense of equality and independence. Why would anyone want to ask her husband for grocery money, new clothes. As long as she works everything is half hers, because she earned it not because it is given to her. That is my opinion, I tried being a stay at home wife and felt useless, once I went back to work, I was proud of myself again. I knew i was helping our family, what he didn't realize was how much it helped my mental state.

I think it is important for both people to contribute to a marriage. That could mean financially or if there are children at home, and one spouse (man or woman) decides to raise the kids at home instead of daycare, that is quite a contribution too.
Working is good for self-esteem and confidence too.
I think it needs to be a decision made by both people of the couple and their needs need to be evaluated when the decision is made. For either spouse not to work outside of the home.

Women should work even before they get married..........
It's the only way to develop their own independence, self esteem, contribution, and to experience life..........
keeping in mind that women that stay home with kids are considered working women as well.

She better help provide for the family or she's not marrying me, I'm not going to work and support her so she can sit on her *** all day watching soaps. That would be like me asking my fiance if I should work or not after we get married, and asking her to support me. Think about how ridiculous that sounds.
If there are children at home, then that's different.

no why should women have to give up their lives and careers to start a family
the notion of women having to give up work is selfish chauvenistic and sexist
women should not have to become the stay at home mum or the trophy wife women like this have no real fulfillment or enjoyment in their life
this is the 21st century
women and men are equals

Should since women need to contribute something too. No woman should stay home after her children reach school age. Going to work is providing a good example of a valuable member of society. Women who stay at home after a child has started school, unless there is a special circumstance, are poor mothers who are not good examples to their children and are not contributing valuable members of society.
Should women have a choice? Sure, as should men. We all have the choice, but that doesn't mean that every option is morally acceptable.

I think it depends on the circumstances. If you need two incomes to live in a decent place, then the woman shud work. If you want to buy a house, have a child, go on nice vacations, these all cost money. If one income is sufficient to accomplish you goals, then fine. But what is good for one couple should not inpact on another.
