I believe a dual-career role marriage would make it tough on having children. There obviously would not be anyone around to watch after kids unless you hire an Au pair,it would not be a normal way to raise a family.
Part of what's wrong with kids, today.
Mom and dad think they have to have the flatscreen and the matching SUVs.
They raised a litter of kids that think they're entitled to the Xbox and cellphone.
Spend to work, work to spend.....
Nothing wrong with mom staying home with the kids and dad working.
You don't HAVE to have the newest and biggest of everything.

Amen,people want more and more,how much is enough?.

Nothing wrong with dad staying home or pulling his weight after work either.
My mom dropped grad school and didn't work while raising my brother and I. When my father was hit by the dot com bust and went through a series of layoffs (including having been laid off now for almost a year), my mother had NO skills to support the family. She had subbed for a few years when I was in school but that doesn't pay the bills. Now she's working in a daycare because that's ALL she can do. However, the measly money she makes doing that doesn't really do much to support the family.
My dad didn't encourage my mom to work or build skills. He also didn't discourage her- my family is thankfully of a more sane religious persuasion. However, I grew to not respect my mother- not because she didn't work outside the home but because she COULDN'T. That's no role model for a young girl.

When we put our trust in the Lord He provides. We put the Lord first in our life not jobs.

Try that one 3 out of 4 in a family have serious illnesses that need attending to. G-d doesn't provide when you haven't properly prepared yourself. Not developing career skills and staying out of the job market (not working or significantly volunteering because your children "can't" do without you for one second) is not learning to help yourself.

Now you know that is not true. God never gave anyone a good paying job, or paid for college for a struggling student. God doesn't give a hungry family money for food. God never gave anyone anything. That is why it is important to encourage our girls to get an education so that they can support themselves if they have to. No permission needed.
Unless he doesn't, in which case the Lord always answers prayers, but sometimes he just says "no", because he knows what's best for us. He may not give us what we want, be he'll never give us more than we can handle.
Unless he does, and he lets you or your children die. In that case the lord had a plan for you, and it was for the best that he called you or your child home. You/he are in a better place now.
There's a catch phrase for every situation. No matter what happens, it's God's loving hand is there. Unfortunately, its very hard to distinguish between that and there being no God in the first place.
Oh you just said exactly what I thought for years while in church! Someone's child would die and they'd spit out the ole "God will never give you more than you handle bit..." And I'd be thinking "Oh how flipping nice of god! What a guy!" Sarcasticly of course. Christians have a million cliches don't they.
My wife brings home six figures. I'd be not just a fool, but a d*mn fool to tell her to stay at home! She started grad school after we got married and I was able to get her an entry level job in my company. She's done well, and enjoys her work. I think she'd go nuts at home all day and no one would benefit as a result. She never asked for my permission and it's not mine to give or deny anyhow.

I know for a fact that is true,Christians don't put jobs first or education,they put the Lord first as He will provide,it is all directed toward the Lord and not of worldly aspirations.We as Christians put our trust in Him and he will provide.
