Certainly there are those marriages where the woman makes enough that she has no need for her husband to work, thus she requires him to be her full-time househusband家庭主夫 — a husband who keeps the house and father to her children. However, these are the exceptions and not the rule. Perhaps a man can take off a few years while the child is between infancy and kindergarten to care for the child instead of using daycare. That is happening more in our society. But once the child begins to attend school, the male goes back into the workforce.

Each marriage approaches this differently but what is most important, as far as a female supremacy marriage is concerned, is that the woman makes the decision on what she feels is the best course of action for her, her children and her marriage. Perhaps the woman will want to take a few years off from her career to be with her children while the husband picks up the extra financial slack by getting a second job. Or perhaps the woman will want to stay focused on her career and will require that her husband take a few years off from his career to raise the children. Or perhaps she will want them both to continue working and she will choose to utilize parents, babysitters or daycare. The woman should make this decision because the woman is the nurturer and she will want what is best for her children. If the husband makes this decision, he might only look at the finances.
