Thoughts on if I should ask him to work for a few years before we have kids (not touch ANY of his salary/save it) and then we will be used to living off one salary when the time comes?

Why is he in grad school if he wants to be a stay at home dad? Tell him to be a teacher or something.

Defiantly have the conversation but also consider whether you want to be working full time. Nothing wrong with it as both my wife and I work full time with 3 kids but make sure that you're OK with working full time If he's at home full time

Sure! I know stay at home dads and it works well for them.

That sounds smart OP. But hey I know nothing I don't have a spouse

My dads cousin was a stay at home dad and it worked great for him and his wife. His wife was CTO of a successful startup and he got to train for a black belt in tae kwon do after he took the kids to school.

If you plan to stay in consulting then having a stay at home spouse can be an awesome idea

I like the idea

it feels like every survey about working from home is (poorly) designed to answer the useless question "would you rather work from home or from the office." I submit that the set of people who prefers to have only one of those two options, always and forever, is the null set. which means it DOES NOT MATTER because the correct answer is always going to be "make both possible." you're welcome, HR departments everywhere.
