Everything I post these days is under the lens of a recently divorced guy, but I think I can chime in a little on some unforeseen issues with an LTR/Wife not working.

If she isn't working, once the kids are in school, da fuck is she gonna do with all that free time? Cleaning and cooking doesn't take very long. Help the kids with homework when they get home I guess and get them sorted for bed? I can hire a student for like 10-15 bucks an hr for that.

When you guys get divorced, you will have to pay child/spousal support. In the event that you can get away with paying on the lower end, your ex will not have any recent working experience to get any meaningful work - at first anyway. I'm in the position now where I can get away with paying significantly less but she would lose the house, car, etc, and in turn, that would suck for my kid. I have to support this person until they get their shit together for my kid's sake.

I dunno, I was all for the stay at home mom thing, but really, daycare/dayhome frees up so much more time for both parents to work as well as keep the mom in the workforce and obtain a independence in the event of a split. Dual income also relieves the burden on you to be always providing, say in the event you lose your job or you get injured or something and can no longer work.

I'm a divorce lawyer and I personally have seen a ton of marriages break down when one party (either the man or woman, but usually the woman) decides to stop working for whatever reason.

Unless you have a family of 4+ children, they will have too much time on their hands. This means they also have more time to spend money gratuitously and/or sleep with the poolman. And the other person will resent the fact that they are pulling all of the weight financially.

I do not want my LTR to have a job. I want her full-time job to be helping me in my business ventures as well as raising our children. RungoodInc above is correct in that too much time on ones hands can never lead to a good result. But I believe if you find a woman that respects you and has predisposition to be loyal then directing her efforts to assist in your own ventures can be the route to go. Just my opinion.

I understand the sentiment, but with all of the jewish, feminist NGOs and the Jewish judge court rulings over the last four decades of marriage law, having a wife not work is a recipe for disaster. 

For instance, with labor saving devices the wife has nothing to do except hang out with other jewish cultural fed harpies and with being bored. 

When divorce happens, the lack of income will mean the judge will give alimony in addition to child support, more incentive to get rid of you when the feels dissipates.
