Christian Writer: Women Having Careers Outside the Home is Unbiblical
July 26, 2017 by Hemant Mehta

Lori Alexander, a Christian author at a blog called The Transformed Wife, wants women to know that they should never think about careers. A full-time job will only draw attention away from their eventual children and husband, and they shouldn’t defy God like that.

Plus, the Bible said nothing about women having jobs outside the home.

Are older women, as written in the Bible, to be known for their careers? No! They should be known for bringing up children, lodging strangers, washing the saints’ feet, relieving the afflicted, diligently following every good work (1 Timothy 5:10) and teaching the younger women (Titus 2:4). There’s nothing about them having careers.

In fact, if women work after having (the first of what will surely be a double-digit number of) children, they’ll have no one to blame but themselves when the inevitable divorce occurs.

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.

What?! FREEDOM?! Can’t have women learning about that now, can we…?

What if you’re a working woman who has a strong marriage? Well, you’re obviously making God angry.
