question for men only Do you believe a womans place is in the home?

Question

Society has changed,and the housewife is no longer considered ideal in most households,however the bible states many times the womans ideal place is in the home.what do you think?

Answer 1

In the home, raising our kids.

If I had a wife, which I don't, I think it would be an embarrassment for the wife to work outside the home. It would mean that I'm a failure at supporting my family.

The big trend to women working started in the '70s. It was a means for families to do better and get ahead of the game. However, the government caught on to this rather quickly and did a "dollar value adjustment". What followed was that couples had to each work to just keep up with what the husband used to bring alone.

Answer 2

Iam very religious and I have read the bible front to back, and the thing is it never in the end is going to be known whether the stuff written in there is true. It was interpreted by apostles and other people, how do we know any of these things were said by jesus, or what god did. We don't. I dont believe a woman's place is in the home unless they want to be there. Women have become some of the best and highest paid workers in the world with some of the highest positions. Iam a guy and I will definetley be the first to admit that women are becoming the more dominent species slowly. If you believe in what the bible says then conventionally yes a woman's place is at home but in reality, no.

Answer 3

How many miles to the gallon does your camel get? When was the last time you made bricks with mud and straw? When was the last time you met three Wise Men?

Maybe two or three thousand years ago, the woman's place was in the home, but you must accept that times have changed and certain parts of the Bible are dated. Are you saying that we should live as they did, back then? Then you'd better throw out the TV, the air conditioner, the computer, the automobile, modern medicine, modern dentistry, airplanes, wonder bread and Skippy peanut butter! We would not be able to feed our population, compete with other nations and the life expectancy would go down, big time. You really want to life in a place like that? Move to Afghanistan. Last I heard, they were living pretty much like what you envision. I suspect that life would not be easy and your family will curse you for going through with it.

Answer 4

In my opinion being a mother is the key word in this. If a woman does not have children I can sympathize with her chasing carrier and success in other things then home. But if a woman has a child, until the child is at school age she should only take care of home, child and a working husband. And after the school age she should get payed double for half the work of a full time worker. Because I believe in the institution called "family" and mother is the most important factor in it. Its the back bone of home and family. And it is a hard job. To do it properly a mother should not deal with ugly business atmospheres of competition, cut throat, tackling, corporate games .. Her mind should not be stained with these so she can be a good mother, good wife and a good home maker. After the children are gone to university she can do whatever she wants..

Answer 5

Actually, the Bible doesn't say that. It lists many things that the woman does, including buying and selling things. The woman was designed by God to be a partner and help-meet for man. Man and woman are supposed to be a team, working equally, each focusing on those tasks they are best suited for. The genders are meant to complete each other. The man is supposed to lead the household in God's divine plan, with input and cooperation with the woman. Because the man leads, he also bears the responsibility. However, marriage was meant to be a team effort, and the man is to lead with love, NOT violence or coercion. The woman has the freedom to go along with and support the man, or not, but their endeavors should be shared and agreed upon. Hope I'm explaining it well.

Basically, to confine a woman to just housework is cruel. A woman has dreams and hopes and goals and needs, just like a man does. The man should encourage and support the woman, and likewise, she should support him if what he is doing is according to God's plan. It's a TEAM. The man should share in the housework, and so should the woman. Each should do their part, according to their abilities. Tasks should be shared whenever possible.

Answer 6

To make a family work, especially on with kids, there are a certain number of things that need to get done. These range from bringing home the bacon to doing the laundry. The bottom line is that marriage is a partnership. It doesn't matter which partner has a career and which partner takes care of home and hearth nor does it matter how those tasks are divided among you. What matters is that they get done and both partners do their part to make that happen.

Answer 7

Aloha! Interestingly enough, I wasn't real happy about my wife's employment when we first got married because of my own ego. As it turned out, the bride's career was always a perk for us! Of course our relationship was built on a 'no children' policy! Now that we're retired, it's even better! When she's not in the home, she's out shopping for the things we need in the home.
As far as I'm concerned about the Holy Bible & women's issues, I think that the tradition of parents raising a family require the mother to be in closer attendence to the children with recognition of the father's role as head of household, but I'm old fashioned, like the Holy Bible!
Thanks for the question to spout my beliefs! [+2] ;-)

Answer 8

House is the right place i believe but if due to some financial constraints she has to earn, the society should provide her the job which she can comfortably do at home. Else the society should provide comfortable environment where she can earn respectfully. The main thing is that she should not be the cause of vulgarity in the society.

Answer 9

Weeelll - why ask the guys. The woman decides if she works or not. Both should share cooking dishes dusting vacuum scrubing bath room cleaning laundry , etc, even if she stays at home. It is a fact that housewife equals two full time jobs even before you add in kids so fair is fair. Would my wife work - no - why - I don't have one.

Answer 10

The family unit is strongest if 1 parent stays home to watch over the children and keep them from getting in too much trouble. It doesn't matter which one it is. They can decide between themselves how to handle it. However, men still earn more then women in the workplace in many jobs. So fiscally it might be better for the man to go and bring home the bacon.
