Yes, it's the verse that says wives should be keepers at home.

Titus 2:5 KJV
To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.

mariahAngel:


I own my own business

Nuttella:
Ladies, never you agree to be a housewife to avoid see finish, not only will he control you, he will chase after women that are working or doing something with their lives, if your husband is working, work also, if he wants to do masters, also do your masters, that's if you enjoy being respected in marriage, na small thing dey make person lose respect for marriage.

Wisest decision I ever took.
I was just imagining..Not been able to take care of my financial needs without "begging" ..Having to wait for my husband to give me money before I could send funds to my parents and siblings, buy stuff for myself,etc.
Who goes to medical school for 8 years to become a full time housewife with no source of income except "husband gives me"? Definitely,not me.

I didnt even argue with him or try to negotiate.
I played dumb..Got home ,texted him I was no longer interested and we stopped seeing.

Nuttella:
I thought it through, your comments on this thread irks me. Find something doing before its too late. My friend's mother spent 15years suffering immediately her husband died, she didnt have any job to fall back to or anything doing, she was just a miserable housewife. It was difficult finding something to do to feed her kids, the economy is hard, if you are a housewife, give yourself brain, or else your husband will keep controlling you and cheat on you cause you deserve it for being lazy.

Nuttella:
Housewife spotted. Find something doing before its too late, your husband might not be alive forever, God forbid he dies, how will you feed your kids?. Think!

My ex told me I will have to quit my job,forget about a career as a medical doctor and be his full time house wife before he marries me...He promised to place me on a monthly salary,just to keep me away from work.

The relationship ended that day.

I didn't care how long we had been together or what people will say.

My eye opened..and I received sense.

I rebuke the life of "I am waiting for my husband..If my husband no give me,I no chop".

Thankfully,I married my colleague the following year..
Its been 3 years and we fine!

The fact that the men around you punish their full time housewives doesn't mean all men are like that.

Some men send their salaries to the account of the wife/joint account who manages it; some others decide to pay their wives 'personal allowances' in addition to the allowances for running the home.

I think knowing that your finance is all that is giving you a leverage in your marriage is a terrible place for a woman to be.

I don't know who keeps deceiving women that earning a living is all there is to 'preventing' abuse in marriage. Most of the women we hear were killed by their husbands were working.

Learn to discern and choose well.

Acidosis:


The only "cage" is getting married. Do you honestly feel that you're better than a 'housewife', assuming the word exists in your pastor's bible?

Reference:


I asked for details not innuendos.
My private life is not up for discussion here but I will say this, there is no single woman in my life before and after, immediate and extended family who understands what the term housewife means.

It is just a ridiculous waste of humanity, human capacity and human resources. I will not bring up a girl child towards that at all. It is better she forgets about marraige completely than engage in that.

She either gets a man with such a humongous vision that will require her assistance or pursue one of her own. The efforts of any parent towards the girl child must not be wasted on any useless sentiment. We want to see our daughters, not just sons become something. Something God created them to be.

I am waiting for Coco to tell people here that most women work anyway and I agree with her. The nostalgia surrounding the full-time-housewife is a myth. Even in the olden days women used to work on farms and sell the products grown there. How many families can afford to comfortably live on one income anyway? Don't you see mothers with babies tied to their backs hustling?

Anyway, always have something to fall back on. Your children will grow and need you less and you can do a part-time job when they are young and still have time for the family. And get a supportive man. The men on food section know their away around the kitchen very well.

MISSCONGENIALITY:
It's either his wife is a housewife, or if he's single he is among those who believe woman are home decorations and shouldn't be allowed to make something out of their lives. And if it's a she, then I think she's a lazy woman who either stays at home and expect the husband to kill himself or has been bullied to believe that staying idle is submition to the will of God and her husband. And if she's still single, she's a lady without any plans to become useful to herself and people around her. And that's the reason for the painment.

mariahAngel:

saaphiere:
You are just so pained that we have women like this who want to put fellow women in the light.

" because the ones with the earning power "

wtf does the above even mean?!!
Did any man stop you from earning your own money?
You're making it look like men prevent women from earning

Hathor5:


Who is "we"?

Women have been at the receiving end from times immemorial because the ones with the earning power have abused their position.

That's not going to change.

truthsayer009:


True, a house wife is a full time unpaid labour. If I was a woman, there is so many things I won't tolerate and house wife is one of them.

No matter how people tend to romance it, once you don't bring in money, you are a liability. Sad but true.

Nuttella:
God forbid the man mistakenly die, how will the housewife cope, I dont understand why people dont think of the future.

exactly,that is modern day slavery

mariahAngel:


As long as they understand each other, I see no problem with it.

A woman who stays at home does not mean she's idle.
If you understand what it takes to keep the home going on a daily basis, you'll know that it is not easy.

abdullahi45:


It is quite hypocritical when all of a sudden even the prochoice see being a full house wife as being in a confinement...

alBHAGDADI:


Where in the entire Proverbs 31 does it say the virtuous woman went to work under a boss?

She was her own boss, and what was her business? Farming. She had a vineyard which doesn't need daily inspection. This gives her enough time to be at home. Also, the virtuous woman had maids which means they helped her at the vineyard. None of her activities kept her away from home.

However, today's 9 to 5 jobs which are really 8 to 7 divide families. Kids lack proper upbringing as a result of mothers being away hustling like fathers.
