I was just wondering this. If you were making over 100k a year, would you rather your wife was a housewife or went out and worked yourself?

My husband makes over 100k as a lawyer and we already have a house, so there is really no point in me working. He likes that I can stay home and great him at the end of a long day.

If you made enough that her income would not make a difference then sure, if you have kids then that would be the best thing to do. Raising kids is a full time position with no income, and the benefits is you know your kids would be fine with your spouse rather than some stranger. If there are no kids, then she needs to work regardless, cuz that is the reponsible thing to do.

It's not my decision to make. For me to be so pretentious that I could even begin to believe that my rathers are more important than hers would be ridiculous. If I thought from the beginning that a stay at home wife would offer me more of what I needed in a relationship than that particular should be resolved before marriage. Under no circumstances would I even begin to believe that she should operate under my command, so to speak.

If I was making enough to cover all of our bills and expenses and have money left over for savings, I would prefer that she does whatever makes her happy. If she wants to work, that's fine. If she wants to go shopping and meet her friends for coffee, that's fine. If she wants to stay home and pursue hobbies, that is also fine. But I would not want her to sit around and watch TV all day every day. That would get on my nerves very quickly.

depends on where you live. In Calif, that wouldn't be enough for 1 person to stay home. My wife and I agreed we would try to have a stay-at-home mom no matter how much I made. It works if you change your habits based on what your total income is.

whatever she wants. if we dont need the money than i would think she would rather stay at home. but if she feels that is boring i would have no problem with her having a job. plus the little ( or big) extra unneeded income will come in handy for luxury's. either way it is up to her.

there's no such element a "10". i have yet to considered a perfect human speciman. besides, i ought to take the overall woman who brings in 100K. i imagine a lady who has her own sh!t lined up, isn't searching for a guy to pamper her, believes in equivalent roles in a relationship to be damn suited. they are hard to locate notwithstanding.

If she wants to work she can, but she gets to use her money for all her little extras such as a nicer car, spa, hair, gym, clothes, and anything she wants for the house.

This is a two way street... If you have kids she should stay home.... If not you have to ask her and then you talk about it... You want your marriage to work? Talk, talk, talk.... Good luck... Grant M in Pennsylvania
