I know my husband and I discussed this before we were even engaged and we both agreed it would be best if I was a SAHM when we had children.
For many women, you can't have a career, which is different than a job, and take off a few to several years to raise children. It can be quite difficult to get back into the game when you've been sitting out for 5+ years, which is why many women opt not to become SAHMs at all.
most families can live on one professional salary if it is a priority. call me old fashioned, but i'm still a fan of a child being raised by his or her parents whenever possible.
What's that supposed to mean? You just prefer a wife with some sort of a job or you don't want a wife at all?
basically what it means is there's all sorts of shades of gray between those two choices
I want a woman who can stand on her own two feet.
I've tried the SAHM thing and honestly I'd be very reluctant to try that again. I suppose if I met the right woman and I thought it would work...
A career woman on the other hand, no interest. I'm not a career man. I have a career, but it's still just a job... I'm not interested in climbing any ladders, my LIFE comes first. I could never date a woman who places a premium on her career.
Essentially, yes, I want a woman with a job for a future wife.
I can't have a woman who puts her job before me once we get serious. And when It comes to marriage, I really need to be a lightyear above her job in the priority list. Jobs come and go, even good jobs, people you're married to shouldn't imo.
Neither can I have a woman who sits at home all day looking at the poolguy or whatever stay-at-home women do before there are kids in the picture.
After there is kids in the pic I'd be alright with it if it was her choice.
I would not marry someone in some white-trash lifestyle staying at home on welfare raising her 3 kids from 2 different fathers while none of them are me.
Otherwise I'd like a woman with a serious job or some kinda plan for a future. I wouldn't want someone who is a waitress with no plan on what to do when her cute-ness wears off after a couple of years.

Would your wife also be your top priority, lightyears above your job, should you marry?
