I don't think it plays any role for me. I would let the woman work, if she really wanted to, but deep inside, I would prefer my wife to stay at home, watching for kids and household. But I repeat, I would allow her to go to work if she wanted to.

Being practical, I would say a woman who goes out for work. I know it is the responsibility of the husband to provide for his family's need, but if the wife could help on this matter, then I guess that would be better.

If I were a man I wouldn't mind if my wife wanted to go out of the home and work. It would probably make life a little less stressful with 2 incomes. On the other hand when both parents works you spend more money with daycare and transportation etc. Alot of companies here in the US are beginning to offer more work at home positions, it lowers there overhead and sometimes creates happier workers, which in turns creates more productivity! Well that is my opinion coming from a woman :)

to me if i was making enough money to supporte my family without my wife working then i would say yeah its all good. but if not then she needs to go out and get a job and help out. at one time my wife made more money then me at one time. and it didnt bother me at all.

I think this depends on the situation. If the man can afford to earn all the expenditures,then,it would be better for the wife to stay home and look for their kids. It is always better and good for the mother to look after the kids rather than trusting kids to a nanny or housemaids. But,if the husband's earnings is not enough to survive a family,it is good for the wife to help her husband. Anyway,a wife can work part time jobs also,so,she can still do her house work and also earning some extra money to augment their earnings. Couples must help each other to give their kids a better life and future.

well i guess its depends, if the guy can bring a lot of money to his family then why not but if not then of course the girl must also do something to help her husband for their kids sake. like me for example, i want to work but i rather want to stay at home to stay with my kids and watch them grow up so i can look after them and make sure they will grow up as a good person. while if my husband coming home i will be the one to open the door for him with a kiss and smile so that no matte how tired he is it will juts gone if his home.

To be honest I believe that a man and woman should not be concerned about who is going to take care of the kids when they go into marriage. The thing they should be concerned about is if they truly love each other. Worrying about finances is another thing, and I think that if a couple is financially fit to take care of a child with only one salary they should go for it... but that a woman has the right to stay home just as much as a man, so if the man wants to stay home, so be it!

There would definitely be some factors. If I was making enough money to support my family, then there would be no need for her to go to work. Though she might choose to work part-time to help pay for things. Personally, I would want her to stay home and take care of the kids starting out when they're still little. Maybe as they get older she can start working again to give them a chance to be more responsible and stuff.

Hello! If i marry now, i chose a woman who now what she want! If she want work I allow to she's do it. If she want be a housewife it's be nice. She educate children on time then i be on work. I think we don't need to sort the woman in "working" and "housewife".
