* ''Film/TheFrontPage'' has a male example in Hildy Johnson, who's leaving the newspaper business to get married and join his wife's uncle's advertising business in another city. A combination of editor Walter Burns's manipulations and a breaking story jumping into his lap drag him back onto the beat and [[spoiler: ultimately breaks up the marriage]].

There ''are'' some male jobs that do not permit marriage, the Catholic clergy being the best known.[[note]]Less well-known is that while priests in Orthodox Christianity can be married (only if they were already married before becoming a priest), higher-ranking clergy cannot.[[/note]] However, this trope in media is normally AlwaysFemale; [[MenActWomenAre men are "supposed" to be the breadwinner of a couple]]. A more gender-balanced version is quitting a job that is too dangerous or time-consuming or has too high travel requirements, for a married character, though in that case, the man usually gets another job.

* In ''Series/WhatsWrongWithSecretaryKim'', Kim Mi-so renounces to her job partly because of this trope. She wants to find love and get married, and being the secretary of very arrogant and narcissistic CEO Lee Young-Joon is too intensive of a job for her to get any kind of partner (as she's too busy to even hire a matrimonial agency or go on blind dates), so after having settled the financial difficulties that tied her to said job she quits to dedicate completely to husband hunting.

* ''Manga/{{Naruto}}: Hinata Hyuuga was one of the most active {{Action Girl}}s in Shippuden, but by the end of the anime, she completely gave up her ninja life to become a housewife once she became the wife of the titular character and had his children. In ''Manga/{{Boruto}}'', she mostly spends her time at home, taking care of the households and educating her kids while Naruto is doing his job as Hokage.
