[quote=Anonymous]I haven't read this whole thread but here is my take: My husband is my partner, not my opponent. Together we determine what the priorities are in our married life. We will decide for ourselves how important our careers are and how much energy we want to put into our jobs. If our family is better suited to having one working spouse and a SAH spouse, that is what we'll do. If we are better served both working and dividing home/life responsibilities even/steve down the middle, that's what we'll do. If we are better off having one spouse focus on and excel in their career while the other spouse focuses less on "getting ahead" and more on home/family life, that, too, is our choice. I don't think it is realistic or wise to expect all couples adapt to one "best" formula. What works for one couple might not be the best thing for another couple.[/quote]
