I think it would be wise if both husband and wife start seeing beyond their fence. With the current global economic trends, you do not want to be caught in the inertia of being made redundant at work, or even families whose houses were burnt in the elections violence . Such families have to almost start all over again. It is important that both husband and wife, have an updated resume and keep improving, and strengthening their professional skills, just in case they have to live in a completely different place and had been living on "just enough" or one partners savings alone.

Nowdays it would be silly to say that it is a feminist issue to work and still manage a family. It is more of a requirement for average income earners.

That said, even if my husband was a billionaire, and gave me the money to do some philanthropy work, I'd still not agree to stay at home because a profession for me would be more of a passion than a pre occupation.
