Women have expectations now (for the better imho) that simply weren't there 50 or 60 years ago. I know the career sacrifice that my wife would have to make to stay at home and raise our kids would shatter her sense of wellbeing, so I want her to get back into the workforce when she is able: in the long term, a happy, fulfilled wife is going to make for a happier marriage, and I am all about a peaceful life at home. It also means that at any given time, either of us could support the family in case of disruption (e.g. I start a major project that takes a few years to generate revenue, or she decides to take time off active research to write a book). I value the flexibility that having both spouses work brings our family.
