Alimony is based on difference in income. If there's no difference, then no alimony. If you agree she'll sacrifice her career to be a mom, then I'm A OK with alimony.

This alimony thing is a vestige of times past, when a woman would be damaged goods unable to find another partner or fend for herself. Ironically, it is now harmful to marriage. Let's say you had a job you got because you absolutely loved it. However, if it got old and you decided to quit, you got half the companies assets and half your bosses salary. How hard would you work at that job if there were some rough patches? Divorce is too comfortable for women, and I think it winds up making many of them not put the necessary effort into the marriage.

I like the idea above where a divorce just means parting ways, and you need a prenup explaining if anything in addition to that will be given.
