The traditional and biblical roles of
parents are thus: 1) the father as the breadwinner, and 2) the mother as
the homemaker and nurturer. Both functions carry equal weight, even
though the husband is the head of the family.
Unfortunately, feminism
has convinced many women that being a full-time mother is inferior to
that of a breadwinner, and that man should not be the head of his
family.
The sad result has been the emasculation
of man along with children being unrighteously nurtured, which in turn
has created instability in our society.
The same unrighteousness also
materializes when the emasculated father, within a society that more and
more favors woman above man in the workforce, fails to financially
provide for his family, which then forces the mother to become the
primary breadwinner as well as causing her nurturing duties to suffer.
Mothers can work or exercise their
calling/talent/aptitude at some point, preferably on a part-time basis
after the children have reached a certain maturity, and as long as it
doesn’t interfere with their maternal and wifely obligations. Indeed,
mothers should decide what is truly important to them: the workforce or
their family.
Proverbs 31: 10-31
If couples end up divorced,
which God hates, or biological parents separated, they must not impede
each other’s participation in their children’s upbringing (unless
there’s proven criminality). They must put aside their pettiness and not
use their kids as pawns in a vindictive battle; elsewise it would be
pure selfishness. Children need both of their parents.
When planning to get married
1) gentlemen, make sure you are financially ready with a good source of
income, and 2) ladies, be willing to put all that you are and have into
being wives and mothers. Otherwise your family, especially your
children, will pay the consequences of your irresponsibility. Worse,
you’ll have to answer to God for your failure as parents.
“Each of us will give an account of ourselves to God.” Romans 14:12
