You've chosen a mate so you save all the time you'd spend "being on the market" or "playing the field."<BR/><BR/>2. You go out to work every day from a base of emotional support, and you come home to it every night. That makes you stronger.<BR/><BR/>3. Physically, your home base is likely to be more comfortable. When our friends in graduate school were cooking Ramen noodles in their one third-hand pot, my husband and I were cooking full healthy meals in the pots and casseroles that came to us as gifts. We both benefitted from practical gifts from both parents. Even when each us was earning very little, we each knew the other's pay was coming in. That sort of thing makes it far easier to concentrate on career.<BR/><BR/>4. With two earners, one of you can take risks while the other provides stability. I was able to lead a nonprofit from startup to major earnings because I could work for less in the early years.<BR/><BR/>5. If your career requires high heels, you need someone who loves you enough to rub your feet when the heels come off.SPorcupinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12088269844922566716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16201378.post-1145109155387181782006-04-15T09:52:00.000-04:002006-04-15T09:52:00.000-04:00Yes, though men's and women's different biological...Yes, though men's and women's different biological clocks make the question more urgent for women.Gruntledhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14377809238377382438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16201378.post-1145106299579530432006-04-15T09:04:00.000-04:002006-04-15T09:04:00.000-04:00and a formula that applies equally well--or should...and a formula that applies equally well--or should--to both sexes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
