How is married life for folks where both work?

Just want to understand if it’s manageable when both are working. Like given the current cost of things in tier 2+ cities and uncertain employment scenes… I can’t imagine a household going well enough without both earning. If you’re such a couple, can you share some thought? I would also imagine at some point ur job companies may be in different cities ?

Me & wife both are working she staying another city with kid & parents. Taking bit support from parent. As WFO mandatory I am traveling on weekends & meet, do best possible to help in everything as she can take bit of rest. But I am not succeed to give her 1 day complete away from everything as kid 1 year old. We usually I have face time in the morning & evening & usually calling time ex: after lunch & before sleep. I think it's really tough for girls after marriage specially after baby. No one support us to hangout only us together without baby as it's trouble to take care of baby more than 4 hours.
