I worked my but off to make it so my spouse would not have to work.  I don't wish working upon anyone, why would I want my house to have to work?

Having one spouse not working makes everything easier.  Life logistics, events, travel.

I feel that our relationship has also benefited tremendously. Lunch/day dates are great.  Even just going to the grocery store in the middle of the day when we feel like instead of cramming it into a busy weekend or late night removes stress and urgency.

Anything that I can do or we can do together to make life (especially DW's) as stress free as possible, I am all in.

Relationship run into issues when one partner thinks because they work they are relieved of all other responsibilities.   My wife is better with the hands on stuff.  I am better at the big picture stuff.  I plan travel, make and go to Dr. appointments, do school pick up and drop off,  handle a good chunk of other logistics and life needs.[/quote]

Well said.  The same in my house, married for 19 years, 4 children, we're very happy.

Interdependence is a crucial thing.  Independence and dependence are both enemies of happy marriages.

I rely on my wife and think she is priceless and irreplaceable.  She relies on me and tells me the same.

You all hedging your bets in case of divorce sound tiresome and miserable.  Burn your ships, be all in.[/quote]
