She might be too ambitious to have kids (or might want to wait until her career is sufficiently advanced). This might be fine for some, but not for others. Also

She might be too ambitious to have kids (or might want to wait until her career is sufficiently advanced). This might be fine for some, but not for others. Also, the global implications of this are described in this documentary[0] The other issue is location/lifestyle: even if all else is agreed, it often becomes impossible to decide where to live (or to stay in one place) when both partners are ambitious. I am not passing value judgement here - different strokes for different folks. But the strokes must match for a married couple, if it is going to work out.
