  • In general they are more comfortable to work around, because they really don't confuse open fun conversation as flirting when it shows no signs of flirting.
  • G'day Rocker Girl, Thank you for your question. Good luck to them if that is what they want to do. Regards
  • So be it.
  • not a lot its none of my business
  • YAY? Does my opinion really matter i mean your going to work or not no matter what i say.
  • That there aint much to say about it, it's quite normal and these days I'd be more surprised if she wasn't working.
  • Most married women need to work to help support the family or just because they are career women. I especially give working Moms a lot of credit. It's a really tough job to balance work and home responsibilities in that case. Bravo to all the working women.
  • Good on them!
  • Oh yeah....Go Girl!!!!
  • I dont see a problem with it If I were married Id still work I only recently stopped due to redundancy but cant wait to start again
  • It is their choice to work. However, I think that if the married couple has kids, one of the parents should take some time off from working and look after them (like my dad did for me and my sister). Doesn't necessarily have to be the woman, it would depend on individual circumstance, but I think it should be based on economics and what jobs the man and woman have (ex. who makes the most money? who could more easily return to the work force after? who wants to stay home? etc.). Personally, I am never going to be a housewife even if I do get married. I want to have a career.
  • Whats to say? Its there life to choose and do as they please.
  • I would say it is most difficult for married women to work. They would have to balance their roles as wives to their husbands, as mothers to their children and as dedicated employees to their bosses. It is not easy to play these roles effectively and efficiently. My wife continued to work until her retirement. I know what she went and I would like commend her for having done well.
  • equal society so wht shouldnt married women work - otherwise marriage would become disempowering for women!
  • It used to be that all women stayed at home but, in the US, World War 2 catapulted women into the workforce in vast numbers. Societal norms changed and it's normal for both partners to hold down full-time jobs. It's great financially because the income can easiliy be double but I think that increase in household income has also prompted families to be more wasteful. I would be OK with my partner not working put it does come with a financial price. I grew up very poor so I learned early how to be very happy with very little. The question is... would my partner know how to be happy without that income? I could be but I don't consider myself to be mainstream in that respect. I think people have gotten lost in terms of knowing what is really important in life.
  • Why not?
  • These days, it's almost impossible not to have both spouses working.
