It all depends on how time and work intensive there role is for them and what they intend to do to extend that time to climb up in there field.
Lol, I have a doctor and a dentist in the fam and the former is very intense especially the first few years. It gets better after a few years if they go into GP work, but don’t expect being married to a doctor to a traditional relationship. As a man you’ll need to really help around the house as in the beginning she’ll be very busy.
I very much live by working smarter not harder and I'm not very far from having generational wealth on my own so I don't necessarily need a woman to contribute to it via a career. I would rather she be someone who I can invest in and helps me via partaking in my endeavours.
And how can she partake in your endeavors? Are you going to encourage her to start a business? Invest in her savings?
I ask this because a huge concern for Muslim women who might want to be housewives is
security. A lot of men think that’s it just about a woman being provided for.
As a man that works, you’re full fulfilling your side of the bargain and a woman that looks after the home is fulfilling her side of the bargain, which is all fair and dandy. But the biggest issue that the Muslim community
neglects which will stop more young women going down the housewife route is the general lack of security. I’ll break down:
As a man fulfilling the rights of your wife, you get to have a savings account and if you work smart as you’d said, you can use your work to
invest in your own
future.
A woman who is fulfilling your rights doesn’t have those ‘perks’. She’ll be working for decades like you but in the house but without a pension or savings.
you’re both putting in the same type of work and you’re both benefiting the family, but only one which is you has financial incentives that you
protect YOU.
A middle aged woman that has worked for her family for decades is not
protected upon divorce or death of a spouse. Historically such women were protected by their community. Society was
tribal based yet now society is
individualistic.
Unless the Muslim community find ways to get around that, don’t expect Muslim women who are smart enough to see this become full on housewives. What’s shocking is that a lot of those trad Muslim women on twitter and Instagram who berate women for working offer one to mentoring for more than $100. They see it too, but berating women is how they make their money.
