I have to say the article made me laugh. GOOD GRIEF, what has being married to a man earning $800.000.00 a year got to do with the general population?
So many great things posted. I think whatever suits your FAMILY
(not necessarily YOU-individually) is what's important. Being married and having children means you have to operate as a unit.
I do HIGHLY encourage mothers to stay home with their kids, they need you so much and the joy returned is priceless. BUT for many, MANY people, sacrifices must be made. These women did sound a little self centered...or maybe idealistic would be a better term. That's OK-you learn quickly once the baby comes.
I have always felt sorry for men who have the total earnings responsibility placed on their shoulders-unless that's what has been agreed upon. Things happen-illness, job loss, the general economy-then there are braces, dance lessons, college BLAH BLAH BLAH! From the tone of the interviews, I wonder if these women could step up to the plate and keep the family together if disaster hit.
James, I honestly believe the majority of people, men and women, desire marriage. (I DID NOT SAY EVERYONE!) Within THAT group, I would think MOST would desire a family. College comes at an age when young adults start sorting out these feelings. Finding or HOPING to find your mate at this time seems kind of natural to me.
When your friends start getting married, it's does hit you like a brick. It CAN make the drive to find that someone seem more urgent. It's scary to feel like you may never find the *right* one-especially when that's your heart's desire.
That old saying about the MRS degree holds a lot of truth, but it fails to say, there are men looking too.
