# Balance between husband and wife's career and family after marriage There is no one-size-fits-all answer to whether both spouses should give up their careers to take care of their families after marriage, but it depends on a variety of factors.： ## Balanced perspective The ideal situation is that couples can negotiate together to find a balance between career and family responsibilities, rather than simply asking either party to abandon their careers completely. In the modern family, there are many possible arrangements： - * *Shared sharing**: Both parties maintain career development, while collaborating to share housework and parenting responsibilities -**Phased adjustment**: In a specific period of time (such as when the child is young), one party may reduce the workload and then return to the workplace. -**According to the actual situation**: consider the career development stage, economic needs and personal ambitions of both parties to make decisions ## Key considerations -The values and expectations of both parties -Economic situation and demand -Personal career development trajectory -Available family support systems (such as parental help, nurseries, etc.) -The quality of communication and decision-making process between the two parties Most importantly, this should be a joint decision based on mutual respect and understanding, not an arrangement based on gender stereotypes or external pressure.
