how important career is for a married women

If you think your husband is worth keeping, leave your career behind. You can easily find a good career but a good husband is seldom seen. This is especially if you have a growing family. This should be your priority. I think that the wife has to adjust with the husband's career because the husband is the bread winner of the family. The wife can survive without a job but it would be difficult for the husband to live without one -- financial wise and ego wise.

I think it matters what has been agreed upon by the couple. Career are very important for women but for some women, family comes first... i think it depends what the situation calls ... like in our case, my mom could not possibly give up her career because my father's earning won't be enough for the family and that's fine.

career is equally important for a woman as a man. Does she get extra advantage in making her career or she has to work less towards it? it is more challenging in our society for a woman to become successful. In couples both should make equal contribution. men never compromize for their wife's career as such.

i will insist my own career,,,if stop myself career maybe be out of joint with the science...later maybe have little words share with your excellent husband..so i will insist my own career..

I think its a matter of priority and also would depend on the husband career. if the woman's salary is big enough to support the family while the man's salary would just barely get the family going,then maybe the woman should not give up her career. Given that in today's living condition, every dollar counts and not all the time can a woman get that kind of an opportunity. I think the couple has to talk it out and weighs whats best for the family. I think its a matter of bringing up the family and its also a big sacrifice for the women who have to missed out with the milestones of her children.

hi nkhanna.i think i will ont sacrifice my career,since i too have dreams and aspirations of mine which i want to fulfill.there is just one life for everyone and i think everynoe has the right to do wat they like.i dont understand as to why its always wife who has to sacrifice?why not man?i will not do this.i will definately give time to family but i wont ignore my career as well.

There is no set "correct". It depends entirely on the couple, but the absolute key is communication. They HAVE to talk about it. Preferably before they get married so there's some kind of game-plan should something come up. I'm personally going to be moving overseas with my husband about a year after we get married. However, this was something he'd been planning even before we met, so I knew going into the relationship in the first place that he'd have to move for his work/education in the future. I simply chose that I wanted to be married to him so that I could go with him.

i think i will sacrifice my career if my husband has a good job in some other place and will go to join him. i think career come first to a man while family comes first to a woman. but i don't mean i will give up my career. my career comes after my family and only after it.

I think having a career gives them a lot of confidence in life.

hi, i have seen both the cases a women leaving her career aside as well as a man leaving hios career aside for his wife's career. It all depends upon situation. I feel these days its been like this that both the partner's career is equally important but in this case the woman have started feeling that they are sacrificing their career, well both the partners should be earning in case of middle class people but i feel taking very good careers and very demadning ones brings the relation ship at satke and offently leabds to breaking of the same. If both are involved and giving priority to career than that relation is of no use as they live only for earning money and are satying together but have their own world. I think that woman should be earning but not devoted to wards her career alone but also to wards the family a minimal time demanding job paying good sum of money satnds sufficient to support the husband.

I am and Army wife that does follow my husband from state to state and I don't think that I give up anything by not having a career. I think that if we had a traditional marriage then it would depend on who's job made more money. That's what is really going to provide for your family. And I know that my husband would follow me if the tables were turned.
