Some General Guidelines For Women
Proverbs ch 31:
10 Who can find a virtuous woman?
For her price is far above rubies.
11 The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her,
So that he shall have no need of spoil.
12 She will do him good and not evil
All the days of her life.
The virtuous woman is the God ordained help, suitable to a son of God. She, being the wife of a King-For-God, is a godly Queen. With her husband she shares responsibity for ensuring a godly seed will fill, subdue, and exercise dominion over the earth. She is a valuable woman, her price is far above rubies, she's worth whatever it takes for a man to secure such a wife. Her husband can trust her, she will not do him harm. Instead, she proactively does him good, all the days of her life. Unlike Eve, who was the first feminist, and who in spite of knowing the truth and divine ordinance of God, yet allowed herself to be seduced and deceived by the serpent. Her desires getting the better of her, she brought about her own downfall, and through her her husband fell as well.
Not that she was solely to blame, for Adam shouldn't have been weak and given his strength to his wife. But consider how many women, who ought to know better, and whose husbands know the ordinance of God, nevertheless become forward enough to ask or even demand some course of action contrary to good judgment or even the Word of God? And, having been seduced by the devil they entice their husbands to yield to them, to capitulate to their demands for some thing the husband (and wife!) know, or ought to know, is not proper? And how many men surrender to the pressure, whether from an inordinate desire to please her in every thing, or from an equally controlling desire to avoid confrontation or put an end to nagging?
But the virtuous woman is not so. She is a
help to her husband, not a rival.
13 She seeketh wool, and flax,
And worketh willingly with her hands.
14 She is like the merchants' ships;
She bringeth her food from afar.
15 She riseth also while it is yet night,
And giveth meat to her household,
And a portion to her maidens.
16 She considereth a field, and buyeth it:
With the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.
17 She girdeth her loins with strength,
And strengtheneth her arms.
18 She perceiveth that her merchandise is good:
Her candle goeth not out by night.
19 She layeth her hands to the spindle,
And her hands hold the distaff.
The virtuous woman is industrious. She is not sitting around eating bon-bons watching soap operas on TV having dumped her children off at a government day care center so she can be idle, wandering from house to house as a busybody (
1 Tim 5:13). She is, rather, busy working to advance her family's situation, to provide for her family's needs. Yes, her realm is primarily the domestic sphere, something modern feminazis can't accept. But we can see what the feminist movement's philosophy has wrought in society: the near total destruction of the family and of the nation.
