Marriage changes your life, and brings the start to a new chapter to your life; however, it never closes the old one. Be it a working woman or a housewife should be your decision, and not forced by anyone.

Think of These, Before you Plan to Quit Your Job just for Your Marriage.

1) Your Escape Route – There are certain points in life, where you wish you wouldn’t be stuck at home. Being a housewife, it is not always easy to step out. Working gives you a break from all the quarrels and arguments and helps maintain peace at home.

2) Financial Independence – Monetary flow helps you not ask your husband for financial help. You can do whatever you wish to. That constant nagging and arguments in a relationship are mostly about money. Being a working woman, you have your financial independence.

3) Family Respect and support – Sometimes managing two things simultaneously builds up your respect amongst family. People have a notion of considering Housewives as useless and think they have nothing to do. Your life should be full of your choices. You need to build respect, to get respect.

4) The Pain of letting go of your Career – We decide on a certain profession, and study according to it, to fulfill our dreams. Just because someone is not happy with you doing that, rethink if you are taking the right decision. Sometimes you may compromise on your career because your partner or family wishes to see you at home, but at the end of the day, somewhere or the other, you might keep blaming them for the same. If you think you cannot let go of it then think of another way to make things work.

5) Happy and satisfied you – Apart from other things, it is also important to do what your heart desires. If your job makes you happy, don’t even think about quitting it. The main cause of quarrels is an unhappy heart. Doing things for others, but not yourself might not always make you happy. And at the end of the day, if you aren’t happy, there is no happiness in your marriage.

Keeping all these in mind, also remember if your spouse or family doesn’t support you with your decision, either talk to them and clear their doubts else to fulfill the wishes of your heart.
