The livelihood of a person is obviously necessary to their own well being and personal sense of purposefulness in life, when they are in adult hood.
Sitting around and doing mundane everyday tasks at home, proves rusting to an otherwise brilliant mind. That would be a great loss.
No matter what culture or social set up is it nowadays, educated people know that it is necessary for both the spouses to earn and make their family’s social and economic status better and maintain it.
Emphasis on education helps not only make a person educated for marketability in the work field, but also improve their civic and personal conscience and mind.
Self esteem, a sense of personal stability also comes when someone is working, outside of the house. It is a basic right of everyone to earn their own living.
Times are different since women have been working more regularly and for longer hours. Making sure that the family’s needs of a warm house are not neglected is necessary. Getting organized and changing things is also necessary.
Life is an adjustment of sorts, if you will, since there are so many roles that we have to fulfill.
Between 16 and 45 years of age, one has the prime opportunity to build one’s career.
Young parents in families with young child/ren, who are working and have a lot to work on, to save for their children, need nothing but to make a difference in their lives by earning.
Whether it is for the individual’s old age investment, or a current sense of utilizing their knowledge and reaching a stellar point in their career, working, developing a career is essential.
Scenarios in life are different. Things do not until there is all kinds of help available and used to make life better. It is true that some families, may not be happy, even when they have all the money they can have for being rich. That is a separate issue and has its own reasons to be explored, at another time.
The question is what is the personal cost of sacrificing a career? Does that create a rift in the relationship which could have been avoided?
Who can guarantee that the other spouse will not misuse the hard work that one does inside and outside the house?
Are there good welcome examples of couples who helped each other as a team, and did not relinquish their own part in helping each other achieve their career aims?
Chime!
