Most women who did that always regretted it
Even if your husband is extremely rich as times goes on you get bored and want more out of life
Expecially when you see your peers who were able to still. Keep it together as in work and family
I was watching bloom TV
Okonji iweala said her own was just to give birth
Family members where on ground to help
If you want to enjoy your life as a wife,mother and carrier woman (Don't be. Stingy)
I can't remember when last I did my laundry
I have a help, there is washing machine, she does the cooking, she does the shopping, she comes to work everyday, I give her weekly transport allowance, I pay her salary on the 23Rd of every month. If I have to travel I talk to her mum to give allows her sleep over. I even go as far as calling her madam
I will advice every woman who intend quiting job for hubby should think twice
Life does not go as planned. Even in the biblical days women worked
We are virtuous and will remain so

Sexy bash you don't even cook your meals?
So what do you do aside working

If you quit your job because of your hubby,years later it is still that man you gave up a lot for that will say the most hurtful words to you,if care is not taken you might go into full state of depression
He will still be the one comparing you with younger working ladies in his office
He is still the one that will get irritated seeing you home all day
He is still the one who would say you have nothing upstairs,good for nothing lazy woman
He would completely forget the days when you were a hard working single lady

So why do that to your self?

Capital NO!
in dis 21st century,I would nt advice a lady to quit her job because of marriage even if d lady wants to change base after marriage,d best thing to do is to get a job at her new base before getting married!
It's nt a good thing for a lady to be jobless after marriage besides there is no right thinking man that would want to settle down with a LIABILITY

It's a very bad thing for a married woman to wait till her hubby comes back from work before she buys sanitary pad nd other luxuries...

NO, except in cases where I have no other option than to quit for a while. But, saying full time in order to become an housewife is a capital NO.

Madam let's be realistic please, you sound like getting a job (especially in Nigeria) is a walk in the park, I don't think it's advisable for a lady who's ready to get married and has a good man to stall until she's able to find a job after quitting one, one can be married and continue the job search, the most important thing is not to stay idle.

Thats why I said if one has a good man, it would go a long way to help, women please avoid egg heads.

It's not easy I know ofcourse even as a single lady sef, the idea of quitting a job and waiting to find another one before finally settling down just doesn't seem like such a good idea.

Hahahaha , one can gather experience through peanuts, it gives a boost to your CV and prepares you for the main bucks. If her job isn't paying, then she can easily drop it and look for another. I rather leave my house for peanuts than stay at home, one who is at home isn't idle but monotony drives me nuts ( if you are usually hyper) ...Every day at work breaks the monotonous life of market, kitchen, chores and more chores. This is for those in Naija though,am not sure if experience and age affects employment there.
Re: Can You Quit Your Job Because Of Marriage by rolled: 9:41am On Nov 11, 2014
Start from somewhere
Am not sure if you want to keep collecting those peanuts for a long time

You right,even here experience but I am not too sure about age.
You know,it's not only an office job that can give you experience.Some ladies with kids will leave home by 5 and return by 8pm,and still struggling to make ends meet.All their salary will be spent on transportation and child care,so what the point?Like you said,searching for a more productive job will be better.But if one has grown up kids,then you can keep the job while looking for a better one.I don't know,it might be different for other people....

Starting from somewhere isn't bad,but I am talking about a married woman with kids.Because going for that job will require a lot of sacrifices,if it is for experience,a voluntary job with time I can manage,can give me experience.All in all its depends on individuals....
