Is it supposed to be a gender thing? No one should quit any job for the other irregardless of how much they receive.

If it becomes compulsory that one partner must quit,
The partner with the least pay should make the sacrifice even if it's the man.

I know a woman who supported the family for 10yrs and even built their personal house.
I know how it is about men and ego, however the kids deserve a good life.

i've seen cases where where wives earn more than their husbands and the men is just irritated by that. most men have it at the back of their minds that they're the bread winners of the family and cant stand the thought that their wives is richer.

I believe every individual has the right to financial independence, but if this is the case, then the wife should cover more of the bills. As long as the couple is happy,

None of them should quit their job,
But the wife should work less hours
inorder to take care of the children.

Mama gee, who says the husband can't take care of children? Some men are very good parents. What's important is that at least one parent loves and cares for them.

We should always see marriage as a union that brings two people together to become one.in that case what belongs to Lanre belongs to Ada and vice versa.

If Lanre has 2 shops one is very profitable and the other is barely surving,if the need ever arises that one of the shops has to be closed which one do you think that Lanre as a sensible person would close?of course the one which is barely surviving.

So,in this case,the husband and wife should see it from the perspective that they have two shops.and if the need ever arises that they should close one of their shops,the most sensible thing to do is to close the one that is less profitable irrespective of who is affected.

So for me the man who earns 70k should resign and let the wife who earns 700k retain her job,that is if they are married and truly love themselves.

Their situation would dictate this. They need to sit down and talk and decide who.
Re: Who Should Quit Job? by mamagee3(f): 10:07pm On Jan 17, 2010

Notwithstanding if she earms $3million monthly.

In a marriage, i personally think, whoever is making the most money, shd hang on to his or her job, and the other get something doing to someting to improve and get better.
Always remember that it is not a competition
