My husband said this “Getting a job isn’t the big deal the bad part is if it starts to affect your women duty’s” He won’t let me work tho (not forceful) but he believes his duty is to take care of me and I shouldn’t even if it means he needs to get in extra hours ❤
You did a fabulous job of handling this topic, Heidi. It is truly about a woman's heart & priorities. We have to spend less time judging other women (because we just don't usually know someone else's heart and private world) and looking at our own hearts and situation. This world is so complex and women & men bring a mountain of baggage & socialization into marriage. I personally, have been discouraged by female Christian influencers who never talk about the husband's role in this topic. I actually know of five!!!! marriages where the wives are full-time professionals because, honestly, their husbands just don't want to work. These women are exhausted trying to still be mom. They are choosing to not divorce and the pressure from others to "kick the you-know-what out" is high. Their homes are a disaster; never a home cooked meal. I'm in daily prayer for these incredibly strong women. It's not fair for female Christian TH-camrs to criticize women working and not include husbands in the criticism.🇨🇦♥️
Americans seem to make a lot more of this topic than us guys in the UK and Europe. I've had responses to comments on other videos slating me for saying women can work etc. saying they should never ever work. What happens to people like me? (No husband and no kids, am I just supposed to survive on social security benefits? And what about God's calling on my life to go into Youth Work, which I have faithfully done every since and God has CLEARLY and DIRECTLY blessed me and my work in this matter. People need to back-off making stupid blanket statements about women.
I worked with children before I had my children. My youngest child is 9.5 years and I have only just returned to work. I work part time and I'm still being "mum". My job is exhilarating and I help other women to raise their children because they have a need to work or even study or even want to give their child a day to socialise with others. I loved spending 22 years at home raising my three children. We have had abundance and poverty. I am now working outside the home because I was sick of my husband complaining about the lack of money and also the fact the industry he works in is now in danger of being dismantled thanks to the evil in this world. I would love to study further to upgrade my skills in early childhood education because my youngest child is getting older and my older children are now adults. I have always wanted to be an early childhood educator so I'm glad the opportunity popped up again.
Great video!!! I cherish the time I stayed home to raise my boys…we lived on little and it was a struggle, but I was home with them❤️. It is what we felt best for our family and children. Thank you for this and for all you continue to do❤️🙏❤️. Now I work from home so that has been a blessing now that they are older in their teens. But I am still “home” whenever they need me❤️
This is something we need to talk about more often. I love this. I've always wanted to be at home with my 2 girls and husband and being a homemaker. I have worked in the past as a full time and part time mom. I like the part time but I knew god calling on my life every since we had our first daughter. But that wasn't our time for us to be one income home. We had to work on paying things off past couple years and also moved into a home we always wanted was the one level so there was things we needed to wait on for gods timing. He has blessed me and my family and that I'm able to be home with them. I do feel alot better bc I remember those days being frustrated and stressed out and being miserable pregnant working. And I kept asking god when will I be able to be home serving my family and I had to wait. And sure enough this was going to be the year. God is amazing! I love watching your videos so encouraging!
Not everyone has a father or husband to provide their every need. If someone thinks working as a Christian woman is wrong, they must have a husband or daddy who loves them and not understand reality outside of that. If I didn’t work as a single woman, I would literally be homeless and begging. And our economy is terrible.
I struggle with this every day! My children are in their teens but I still feel the pull to not work, but not sure how to make it happen. My house is definitely not in order as it should be.
I’m a Christian woman and I work very hard. I cook, clean, garden, preserve, study, craft, teach, and minister to, not necessarily in that order. So I would say the answer to your question is yes! 😊
I agree, that a woman can work outside, but, I don't know how it is in the US, but here in Switzerland we have to work outside of the home for the reason when retirement is coming. And this is hard on many christian women here
Any direction for a husband staying home and doing all of the typical SAHM duties while the wife works. That seems to be more common now than years past.
My opinion from biblical scripture and real life, is that the man should be the main provider and career driven…. It takes an hour to deep clean a house, the kids are at school. The women should have a job 5 days a week in school hours, period… the man is not a slave but he is the main provider… it is near impossible for the average Christian man to singularly financially be able to pay for a house, a wife and children on his own… a women should be working while the kids are at school. Even just a minimum wage job is a place she enjoys… a florist, a garden Centre, a cafe, anything. But should not chase a career, she should be able to switch off from the job immediately as she leaves.
Proverbs 31 shows her priority to her home and the cottage industry she pursued in the availability she had left over- it does not promote a “career woman” prioritizing work outside of home. :)
I need to find my community as a woman with no children and who is the breadwinner between my husband and I. Seems to be very hard to find among Christian women. They have to be out there somewhere.
I think more so it's as we grow in accordance to scripture and the Lord lays that path before us- it can be a slippery slope trying to find people doing what we're doing when we should be looking for fellowship with others who are seeking the Lord's will above all. There is much value the women without children can pour back into the body of Christ! :) Praying always! 🙏🏼
yes, a woman can work outside the home when Paul wrote those words for women to be keepers at home, most homes were a business in the front and the home at the back, so any job a woman had was "at the home" but life and culture has seen many changes. jobs now located in their own locations. but in many 3rd world countries a woman lives in a shack and brings goods to the market or works at remote locations the idea that a christian woman is more godly if she stays home is a christian misconstruct based on error is trying to apply ancient roman life to life today. The best thing to teach is that each christian, male or female should seek God's will for their life and forge that personal relationship with Christ. That could be a career or home body back in the mid 1900s it was "godly" for christian missionairies to leave their children with caretakers as they went into the mission field in a show of loveing God more than their children.
If her husband is a Bible believing Christian, as she is, I would hope he would want to meet her needs, even if she brought no income into the home. Men are called to submit to Christ and that very much means putting his wife's needs first.🇨🇦♥️
@@HeavenlyMindedHomewhy does everything have to have some kind of christian basis. Seriously sounds so boring. We have the right to live life how we want and it makes no since to me why people like u talk about this stuff like it's right it's not..this way of thinking comes from fundamentalist Christianity and not the real world christians who are decent. They spew nonsense that goes against the modern day and women have rights to be who they want it's really no one else's business how one chooses to live those lives it's not fair to be forced to live in such a awful life
The bible doesn't distinguish between the sexes when he says do nothing out of vain conceit - THIS MEANS MEN TOO. Men who work to suit themselves and not to serve the family are just as "bad" as women doing this too. People who say men can ENJOY and PROSPER from a career but women cannot, or that men do not have to be involved with their children / family - they are simply missing the point and this too is not biblical for MEN. Nothing wrong with enjoying your work whether male or female in my opinion, and WORK CAN BE A TYPE OF MINISTRY, TRUST ME I KNOW, GOD HAS USED ME IN MY JOB(S) - YOU CAN SERVE GOD THROUGH YOUR JOB, WILL PEOPLE STOP SAYING THAT WORK IS JUST ABOUT MONEY OR STATUS - this is a very stupid and very narrow minded perspective to just say work is only about selfishness - NO IT IS NOT. If God calls you to work with abused children for example, you obey, you do it. And you serve God doing it. STOP SAYING WOMEN ARE SELFISH if they work as if work is not a service, that family is the only thing women are allowed to do for God. People have to wake up and stop being so judgmental about this.
My husband said this
“Getting a job isn’t the big deal the bad part is if it starts to affect your women duty’s”
He won’t let me work tho (not forceful) but he believes his duty is to take care of me and I shouldn’t even if it means he needs to get in extra hours ❤

In the UK, one income is usually not enough, for most households 2 people have to work to pay the bills and housing costs!!
You should do a video on why “sexual “ things are OKAY in a MARRIAGE. NOBODY ever talks on this topic at all !
Any direction for a husband staying home and doing all of the typical SAHM duties while the wife works. That seems to be more common now than years past.
I would love to join your study

Proverbs 31. Yes, a wife can work outside the home. It’s matter of what is best for the marriage and what is God’s will.
Proverbs 31 shows her priority to her home and the cottage industry she pursued in the availability she had left over- it does not promote a “career woman” prioritizing work outside of home. :)

Christian women better work. She needs things too.
I’d love to see your Biblical basis for this comment?
