i think it is ok for a married woman not to work if her husband is earning enough to support the whole family and the woman can stay at home to be a rich "tai tai" ... :)

If I had the possibility not to work, I would do! Anyway the women makes the home clean, and nice, and warm. It is not a little work day by day. If the women have to work also in an office, then they can not care with the home so much. So I vote: Let's stay at home :DD Unfortunatelly in my country the men usually do not earn enough for 2 or more people. So mommy has to work too,even when the babies are only a few months old :(.

I see no problems with it, as long as she's taking care of stuff at home. If she's not working outside the home, but it's up to the husband to do all the household chores as well, then that's lame.

if your married but doesnt have a child yet and you want to work why NOT??? maybe you can stop working if you decide to have a child because having a child is a great responsibility and rewarding! but still it's all your decision to make!

well its her life let her decide... well according to me it depeds in what kind of family she lives and what kind of husband she has,.. its a decission of both her as well as her husband's but the final verdict should be decided by her

What then would be the usefulness of her learning or certificates if she has any? I agree that ladies should not work once the are married. But i will also suggest that ladies should not go to school or learn any trade since it would not be useful later in the future.

Yes I think it's OK when the husband makes enough to support them both. Then she has the time to make a nice comfortable home for them

if you like to work then you must. no matter if you are married or not. to work is a good way to keep yourself busy. it will also help you to add some extra income to the income of your family. it is good not to work only when you have an infant child which needs care.

Now and days both husband and wife have to work to make ends meet. Things have become so expensive! We don't have any children yet, but my husband and I both work two jobs and do extra things to save money (like MyLot) in order to pay off our student loans and bills so that once we have a family, I don't have to work so hard...or hopefully not at all. It's just not easy to support a household on one paycheck anymore...and I don't mind working. If I was at home fulltime while he worked his two jobs I'd be bored and lonely if I wasn't caring for a family!!

i dont think that there is any ine line answer for your question. it really depend upon person to person and culture to culture. some cultures do not allow at all for girlto work after marriage irrespect of kids. but my personal opinion is yes she should work if she really wish to. afterall she has her own life her own personal space to do what she wants in life. i cannot hinder her for this.

I don't like my wife to work. She should take care about our children. I will not allow her to work.
