[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When my husband proposed and asked me relocate with him for a professional program, he told me after his degree we would prioritize whatever I wanted to do and if I wouldn't  move, he was staying put.  My response was I'd support him through the degree and then wanted to stay home with three children. That's what happened. He understood and valued what I saw as my vocation. Would have been equally supportive of me having a career. Married 45 years. Exactly the life i wanted.

Some thoughts: you need to find someone who values you more than money.  I don't know how. Others may have suggestions. 
You need to have the ability to work if necessary.  As with everything, it helps if you have family money/future inheritance. 
 
We were downwardly mobile for 20 years, but [b]were never worried because my family would have been delighted to employ us in a family business.  [/b]They even made a counter offer to my husband when interviewing for first post grad job.

[b]Didn't buy a house till I got an inheritance[/b].  Shared one compact car for decades.

OP, do you come with built in family support so your future husband never has to worry about losing his job?  [/quote]

Also this. Clearly family money backstopping them.
