Should Women Work Outside the Home (Titus 2:4-5)?
Bible Questions & AnswersThe primary responsibility of all married women should be the home and family, even if they also have outside jobs. Mothers of young children are especially encouraged to avoid working away from home. Young women should be taught to be discreet, chaste, homemakers, good, and obedient to their own husbands, so that the word of God may not be blasphemed. In situations where a husband is unable to provide adequate support due to illness or other extenuating circumstances, it may be necessary for the wife to work temporarily to support the family. However, the happiness and security derived from being a wife and mother should not be sacrificed for extra money or material possessions. Any outside work that hinders a woman from properly fulfilling her responsibilities in the home is not worth the monetary gain she might receive.
