People (as Carl did and women usually do) often humorously use the example of the 'Proverbs 31 woman' as an example of a 'working mother' - an oxymoron if there ever was one - or a 'career woman'. The woman described in Proverbs 31 lived in an agrarian culture where most of her day was consumed with going to a market for food, preparing it several times a day for her family, making clothes, washing clothes, tending to her house, getting water, educating her own children and tending to the thousands of other domestic responsibilities that were necessary for a mother at that time. There was no electricity, no stove as we know it, no refrigeration, no washer or dryer, etc. She was indeed a very busy woman but there is not one thing listed in Proverbs 31 that she wouldn't have been doing while tending to and raising her children. To teach otherwise is to deny the very clear teaching of Scripture (pay particular attention in the New Testament) regarding women's roles in a Christian home.
She certainly wasn't absent all day while putting herself under the authority of men who were not her husband to 'fulfill herself' or provide money for a layabout husband. |
