In today’s world, it’s common for young mothers to take jobs outside the home. Many do this to help meet financial needs, especially when money is tight. Others may have different personal reasons. Still, the Bible gives clear direction. In Titus 2:4-5, Paul encourages young women to love their husbands and children, to live wisely and purely, and to be busy at home, kind, and respectful to their husbands.
This guidance isn’t meant to be harsh or rigid, but it does give priority to the home. While it doesn’t say a woman can never work outside the house, it does show that her main focus should be her family—supporting her husband, caring for her children, and creating a home filled with peace and spiritual focus.
Of course, life doesn’t always go as planned. A woman may lose her husband through death or divorce, or the family may face sudden financial hardship. In such cases, she may need to work to provide for her household. But even then, the long-term goal remains—to make the home a place where love, faith, and family are at the centre.
Scripture sets the standard, but God also sees each person’s situation with compassion and wisdom.
