No Longer Quivering
by Lori Alexander from The Transformed Wife – Not One Bible Verse Instructs Women to Have Careers
Editor’s note: In the unquoted bits Lori orders those unmarried or widowed to stay home, expecting someone else to provide their financial support. This is rich considering Lori comes across as someone that would scream to the heavens if an unmarried or widowed woman signed up for a government support program. Her ideas are grounded in the misinterpretation of the Bible, just like always.
Her writings always read like someone who completely hates all other women.
There are several problems I see with women having careers, even when they are single. After spending all the time and money in pursuing their career, it’s difficult to give it up once the children come along, if and when they do. Also, many husbands like the money their wives make and don’t want them to stop so they insist on their wives keeping the job even when it becomes a strain on the wife. Married women who don’t have children still come home exhausted after working all day. They don’t have the energy to care for their homes or husbands like they would like to do, unless they are high energy women.
I believe one of the main causes of divorce today is due to women having careers. Women put all of their time and energy into their careers and neglect their husbands. They were created to be their husband’s help meet but they fail to do what God has called them to do because they can’t do everything and are too tired and exhausted to be helpers to their husbands. This is a recipe for failure and marriage is important to the Lord so it should be a priority for us; for marriage is an example to a lost world of Christ and His Church! Plus, when women have careers, they know that they have the freedom to divorce their husbands since they aren’t dependent upon their husbands for provision but God created wives to be dependent upon their husbands. This is a good thing, contrary to popular opinion.
