No Longer Quivering
by Lori Alexander from The Transformed Wife – Can’t Get the Keeper-at-Home Out of Women
Editor’s note: Another argument for being only a stay at home wife by Lori. Now she claims that since you’re going to be stuck doing all the housework and childcare then you shouldn’t add the stress of having a job at all. She has a point, but it’s rather hypocritical coming from a woman that used paid household help while being a stay at home wife. Why is it alright for her to have domestic help, but it’s wrong for working women to do the same thing?
“To truly be free, we need to free women’s minds.” It’s been over 70 years since the sexual revolution when feminism began taking a firm hold on this nation and they haven’t been able to free women’s minds from their homes. What makes them think that they ever will? They won’t since God created women to be the keeper at home which is a full-time job, contrary to popular opinion. Even women who are married without children find working full time outside of their home exhausting because of all the upkeep of the home, food, and husband if she has one.
This is why the big expectation of men helping with the children and housework (even for those women who are home full time) has become a juggernaut in most marriages. If their husbands don’t help, the wives secretly or not so secretly are continually upset with their husbands even when their husbands work long hours to provide for their families. My mom never expected my dad to help her with any housework or her children since he worked so hard and knew that children and home were her duties as a keeper at home.
The last thing women need today is have one more reason to be upset with their husbands and cause strife between the two of them. Instead of trying to “free women’s minds,” we should be encouraging them to go back to their created purpose and find joy being keepers at home.
