Stay-at-home wives is a growing constituency

Many women leave their jobs and careers to become stay-at-home moms. But there is a growing segment of women who leave their careers to focus on homemaking and having a better relationship with their husbands. These women do not have children. Some say these women are a status symbol that tells the world that this couple has enough money coming into the household that both people are not needed to work. But stay-at-home wives say it’s not about being a status symbol but making a lifestyle choice. They say they are less stressed and more able to focus on home and other desires like volunteer work and creative outlets. If a woman has a choice and chooses to stay home, why shouldn’t she? There are a lot of working women who would love to have this option available even if they never make the choice to stay home. I know I would.
