If the marriage was traditional and the spouse was coerced by either pregnancy or culture to give up aspirations or education, I think alimony is absolutely essential. That person gave up their dreams for a relationship and alimony could help them recover their skills.
If the marriage was modern and both spouses were equally educated and have professions? Alimony is stupid and archaic.
For spousal support I assume you mean while married, I think it's a weird power dynamic to give a significant other money directly.

Cases where one partner decided to pass on education or career advancement make alimony appropriate, I reckon.
Someone with minimal education and a large gap in their resume is going to have trouble getting back into the workforce.
