Career

Because career will not wake up one day and say it's leaving u

kfrosh:
I would say having a fulfilled life is all about learning how to create a balance between what the society want from you and what you really want for yourself. Ladies & Gents should create a balance between their career and family life. This might seem hard to achieve but that doesn't mean it's not achievable.

OP you are right about this being a deep issue because I always think about it. I know of people whose husbands' left them because they were too busy to care for their homes. To me both career and marriage are important.Sometimes, I feel like I have goals to reach in terms of my career but then I know that deep inside that marriage is more crucial. I don't mind making sacrifices to keep my home but I would expect my husband to be understanding. When I have kids,they would become the most important thing to me and I don't mind giving up the world for them. It takes times, patience and sacrifice to raise kids these days. I would try to have both but I think my home should be more important especially when children are involved. I am not saying I will become a full time house wife. What I am saying is that instead of working at a hospital, I will work at a school or part time instructor at a university

I also think it depends on the husband. If he is earning enough and isn't stingy towards his wife then it's easier to pick marriage over career.

Marriage... Use 5 years giving birth to kids and go back to ur career...

It all depends on the couples arrangements..

Marriage should be respected or it's better you don't get married when all you think as a woman is all about career leaving your duties as a wife and a mother, I've seen many homes broken due to inability to balance their career and marriage. It's an agreement that needs to be reached between the husband and wife[b] if he wants her to work or betterstill take care of the home and he pays her monthly or weekly salary. Establish her with a shop where she can sell things while she watch over the kids and her home[/b] #mypoint

Keeping a balance is all that is needed.

If you can't then you choose the one that matters most to you. You take career and pursue fully or take marriage commit fully.

Although I find the attitude of most African men towards a career woman very disgusting. A man wants to pursue his career fully and expect his wife to sacrifice. I believe It should be a combined effort. We are in the 21st century and we should act like enlightened people.

lielbree:
I love being married. If I lose my job I'll be hurt but if I lose my marriage I'll be devastated.

For me marriage comes first

cheekyleggy:
If you have known poverty , your view would be different. If you know women who suffered in the hands of the men in their lives simply because they were not empowered, you would know why your mother made her choice. If you've seen women thrown out on the streets because their husbands died, you would understand that career choices can make a home.

Although a balance would need to be created so that the kids don't suffer. These things are not mutually exclusive.

I see no reason why a man should be stingy....
