I am weary of hearing women who place pressure on their husbands to come home after a hard day at work and do the jobs in the household that the woman could have been doing all day and finished by the time he comes home.
The Proverbs 31 woman is one who takes care of all the household needs, she is active in the community and sees to it that nothing is lacking for those who live in the household.
I have been a homemaker for over 50 years. I have done everything for the household including providing clothing and arranging for doctors, and meds when needed. I did yard work, painting walls and even the outsides of our homes, as well as other things outside the home. All without a paycheck but having full access to the family money that my husband brought home for us.
I saved us $10,000 by painting the outsides of our buildings myself instead of hiring someone else to do it or leaving it for my husband to have to battle when he already works hard during the week.
I have never been bored, there has been too much to do for a creative person to be bored. I have never been lonely having many interactions with people in the community. I have only worked with my husband on the businesses he has owned with me.
I suggest that if the CEO of her household, that is the wife, does her job well the man who works all day outside the home, and even overtime to earn the money, should never have to come home and do household things, they should be done before he arrives home.
Homemaking is not a shame as the libbers want every woman to believe. It was wonderful for myself and my husband that the work was all done for both of us when he came home. He didn't do housework it was all done because I did my job. I didn't do housework in the evening because I did my job during the day.
I laugh when I see women who hire themselves as housekeepers as being seen as having a career but the homemaker who does it is not having a career. All this "women's lib" nonsense that men's jobs are better than woman's roles is irrational.
Obviously, when a woman thinks she must be like a man to have value she denies her God-given talents as CEO of the household as though men are better because they earn money.
I feel sorry for those women who think they have no value unless they are acting like a man.
The libbers have convinced women that they are nothing unless they act the same way as a man. In other words, those women who love to be homemakers and do it well are nothing only to be mocked. It is a lie, I loved my job and did it well. I was never without something creative to do and had much interaction with the community. And, God blessed my husband with a good-paying job because of our decision to follow God in our roles. His role outside the household was not better or worse than mine and my role as the CEO of my household was not better or worse than his, they were just our roles and we make them as creative as we choose.
Those women who cannot stay home and do the huge job of CEO of their household lack creativity, they must have a boss somewhere else telling them what to do. And, they do not value a job unless they are paid for it. This is a twisted culture without understanding men's and women's roles. Both roles have value and no one is better than another.
Sorry women's libbers, you have denigrated yourselves by saying that women must act like men to have value. I value who God made me, I love my role as CEO of my household and I am more creative often than many women who leave the home, neglecting their children and husband for merely a paycheck and to be able to boast of their status.
So many very creative women who have left the home could express themselves better in their creativity if they didn't have a boss over them monitoring all they do. They would enjoy their job more if they knew the value of it, but most have been fooled into thinking their job is worthless. The sorry state of the American western mindset is seen in the way we think.
Proverbs 31
An excellent wife, who can find her?
For her worth is far above jewels.
11 The heart of her husband trusts in her,
And he will have no lack of gain.
12 She does him good and not evil
All the days of her life.
13 She looks for wool and linen,
And works with her hands in delight.
14 She is like merchant ships;
She brings her food from afar.
15 And she rises while it is still night
And gives food to her household,
And portions to her attendants.
16 She considers a field and buys it;
From her earnings she plants a vineyard.
17 She surrounds her waist with strength
And makes her arms strong.
18 She senses that her profit is good;
Her lamp does not go out at night.
19 She stretches out her hands to the distaff,
And her hands grasp the spindle.
20 She extends her hand to the poor,
And she stretches out her hands to the needy.
21 She is not afraid of the snow for her household,
For all her household are clothed with scarlet.
22 She makes coverings for herself;
Her clothing is fine linen and purple.
23 Her husband is known in the gates,
When he sits among the elders of the land.
24 She makes linen garments and sells them,
And supplies belts to the tradesmen.
25 Strength and dignity are her clothing,
And she smiles at the [p]future.
26 She opens her mouth in wisdom,
And the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.
27 She watches over the activities of her household,
And does not eat the bread of idleness.
28 Her children rise up and bless her;
Her husband also, and he praises her, saying:
29 “Many daughters have done nobly,
But you excel them all.”
30 Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain,
But a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised.
31 Give her the product of her hands,
And let her works praise her in the gates."
Please don't tell me this woman worked outside the home!!! She left the home on occasion to purchase a field and direct others on what to do with it, but she was a full-time homemaker with the field as only one small part of what she did.
She was diligent about teaching the children the ways of the Lord, it takes time to do this. One cannot do all these things when they work outside the home for another boss five days a week.
