Which is more important his job or hers?

I would have to say that all depends on several factors: Who enjoys their job most? Who makes the most income? WHo has better benefits for the family? Who is better at caring for the child each day? Among other things. It would depend on the couple and their situation, in my opinion. My partner makes more money but doesn't care for his job so much. I make less money but can say I almost love my job. We each have security in our jobs with full benefits and advancement potential, so it would depend totally on the couple.

Oh,you are so great!YOu must have a happy life with your husband.But I think you can also find something to do when you have time.

I feel that noone should have a 'more importantance' stature put on their jobs. I feel that each of us do our jobs and that it shouldn't be well mine better then yours. Even for stay at home moms. If we didn't stay home and do it who would? That just be more money to spend out for childcare so each of us has our own jobs none less important then the others.

I left my job a year ago and make a living online now. My monthly income is at times more than what my husband brings home so we don't have any power struggles, we are equals. I think as long as you (wife) make some income to help around the house, your husband will be more than happy with that or like my brother he does not work a full time job. He saved up when he was working and retired at 34 after he bought a few flats to rent out. His wive brings home the bacon...these days.. but he does have enough money to pay his own way. They don't have any kids so it can be a bit different.

That's hard to say. Sometimes people judge it by which one earns more. But it's wrong. As to a housewife, her job is also very important. She has spent her time for her family, such as doing the housework, cooking, babysitting etc. She hardly has a break. In fact I think it's much more tiring than working in a company. I love China

I believe the most stable job, if it has a good salary and a good retirement plan would be the logical choice.. Be it his or hers.. You do have to watch out for your future..

well I am a widow now but when we were married we both worked and he being a guy got paid more for the same work that I was doing. I was a nurse's aid and he was an orderly. no power struggle in our house as we both were being paid peanuts compared to todays wages .lol. it does not have to be a power struggle unless one makes it so.

If one job is considered more important, one person or the other will feel undervalued. Irrespective of income or type of work, both must feel valued. One way to do this is for the person who makes more to refuse to consider their own work 'more important' unless necessary for financial balanced checkbook reasons.

My household is probably not the norm. My job comes first and then my husbands. I work in management in an office and he works part-time so we can avoid child care costs.
