Top fan Bill Taylor God’s Expectations When You Marry American society has turned against stay-at-home mothers. When my wife was raising children, she was told not to waste her time: “Just put ‘em in day care and get a job. Do something worthwhile!” Fifty years later, the anti-motherhood movement has become much stronger in spite of God’s command:I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, I Timothy 5:14aHistory shows that weakening motherhood destroys societies. A Greek soldier who died in battle was carried home on his shield. If he ran, he’d throw his shield away to run faster. Greek mothers taught their sons, “Come back carrying your shield or on it.” At that time, Greek warriors were the best in the world – Alexander the Great conquered all the way to India. When Greek mothers stopped teaching sons to be ready to fight to defend their homes and families, Greece was conquered by the Romans.Back when the sun never set on the British Empire, the saying was, “The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world.” British mothers deliberately raised children to be ready to spread the gospel and British rule throughout the world. They also said, “Behind every successful man, there’s a woman” because a wife’s encouragement and her husband’s desire to care for her is a big factor in how well a man’s career goes.Consider his potential as a father. Is he healthy? You don’t want a sickly child. Is he smart and responsible enough to hold a job that will support you and your children? Is he interesting to talk to? Does he have good ideas? Does he consider Scripture and think before he acts? Can he explain logical reasons for what he does? Does he value your suggestions and your knowledge? You can’t help him if he won’t listen to you.
