God created men to do work outside the house to be the leaders, the providers and protectors. (Genesis 2:5) and women to be Keepers at home instead of forsakers of home. A man ought to work and support his family. This is correct in the Lord. 1 Timothy 5:8 but if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.
God created woman From one of Adam's ribs To be an helpmeet for man To be the glory of man, Loving and affectionate Tender and constant to her offspring, to bear children, and take care for the household stuff, to be Good and virtuous, to be Submissive and respectful to husbands, Fair and graceful, adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety, to be Kind, self-controlled and courteous to strangers. To be compassionate towards poor and needy and to be generous to her neighbors. The older women are to teach the younger women and to live lives that glorify God. A true stay home mother will be godly in character, spiritually strong, submissiveness to the Word of God and to her husband.
True feminine beauty is reflected in a godly woman. She fears God and is devoted to the home and manages the household. A godly women is different by Conscience, Character, by her Clothing, by her appearance and She sees her family members are clothed with humility, pure, righteous and holy. Motherhood that is the most important feminine role that a woman fulfills. Every woman now has a freedom to make her choices in life.
God has given us children as a blessing to train for Him and for His glory. A true motherhood lies in her home watching the child grow step by step, sharing all the first -moments, devoting herself for her children and family members.
Keeping up with children is very tiresome and is equal to working a full time job. Stay home mothers will have a Special bonding between their children. They too have a several jobs like Child rearing, nurturing , guidance cleaning up after children, trying to feed children, giving constant attention for kids, dealing with sick children, supervising the children making sure it is in a familiar, comfortable, relaxed, and nurturing environment, disciplining the children, cooking healthy food for the family , house cleaning, doing laundry, she prays for her family members well being and for finances and she constantly grows in her knowledge with Gods wisdom. And God will supply all her needs because she and her family are seeking God.
Stay home mothers have the opportunity to be in touch with their child on a regular basis, to witness the child's emotional and physical changes. They are given a better chance to be the first to see anything new that happens in a child's life. They shape up their children’s attitudes, actions, behaviour and associations teaching them the statues , the commandments and the laws of the God. Stay home mothers love their children so much that their availability and Involvement becomes primary in every part of her children's life, she sacrifices her worldly desires like money , luxury etc in order to be around her children and family .She refuses to keep One Foot in God's Word, and One Foot in the World. She Seeks God's Kingdom First, Not Worldly Wealth & Possessions and she chooses to Suffer for doing good and Be Poor and Not Compromised with the World Than Be Rich and Famous .She becomes the role model in her children's life by Training, Disciplining and nurturing her children' According to Gods word and keeping away her family members and children from the evil influences of the world who will morally corrupt their morals. Being a stay home mom needs a lots of sacrifice , courage and blessing. Career woman are worldly minded, her sense of value is in rushing towards luxury and comfort endlessly and they miss out all the joys around her children and family . My perception may be different from yours. But at the last its what God says matters! But As parents, God holds us fully accountable to faithfully represent His authority and standards for more than just providing food, shelter, and protection. The best way to raise godly children is, by parents being godly and setting and living as a Godly example. There is always a success and rewards in parenting in Godly ways. Our worldly culture rarely values this role of the stay-at-home mother instead they accuse that stay home mothers are week, uneducated, lazy ,worthless and they need to pursue a career be equivalent to men rather being stayed at home and managing the household. Our culture do not value or appreciate the stay home mothers, traditional family values are no longer accepted. The Bible teaches in 1st Timothy 6:8 that we ought to be content with just food and clothing.
The Bible does not teach that children should be exposed to all kinds of sin. Children do not grow spiritually stronger in a negative environment where Gods standards are mocked, where worldly standards are enforced. Standards for morality must be taken from Scripture not from day care centers or from the schools .
Even during biblical times, Mother Mary who is a mother of Jesus Christ was a very godly woman who was obedient to gods word and she was blessed among women (Lk. 1:28,42) and she was uniquely privileged to bear the Savior of the world she didn’t run after luxury and comfortness like the today’s mothers will go , she did not dump her responsibility on some day care centers or some schools to teach or made arrangements with her mothers or friends or caretakers to fulfill gods role of being mother and to raise the child . There were unmarried or widowed women, like Lydia, or Ruth, who have to earn their own living by working outside. We stay home mothers will trust on God and his promises because he is the one who supplies all our needs.
Solomon said that it is better to have a dinner of vegetables served with love and peace than to have a stalled ox served with hatred (Pro. 15:17).
Stay Home Mothers know what influences their children are around and control what her children can see and hear.
Scripture reference: Titus 2:5 to be self-controlled, pure, working at home, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be reviled.
Psalm 128:3 :Your wife will be like a fruitful vine within your house; your children will be like olive shoots around your table. The Bible nowhere forbids a woman from working outside the home. However, the Bible does teach what a woman’s priorities are to be inside the home.

Problems that working women face!
Many women these days fallen into a worldly deception allow worldly values and place importance on riches, careers and status ignoring God's standards of living. Proverbs 31 describes a virtuous woman who would do variety of things. All of those things are home-centered jobs and to support for her family. .I am not condemning all mothers of little children who work outside their homes because some of them have no choice. But those who have a choice have to think what is important for them either noble duties of motherhood or their successful career.
For some women it is not possible to be stay at home to make a decent living and if they are single Moms or because of their poor financial conditions, debts,etc .Its very difficult for career oriented Mothers to enjoy the job and motherhood at the same time because their jobs becomes their first priority and they work so hard and become too busy to give their children all the luxuries they wanted in order to makeup for their lost time with their children . Some people who think they must have two incomes to survive might be surprised if they learned that other families live comfortably on less than half of their budget. God intended for women to be keepers at home. Titus 2:4-5 says, “That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, to be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.”
But often these women will forget at the end, the children needs mothers love, nurture, and quality time not the luxurious life or the gifts or any other material thing. God intended for a married couple to "Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth" (Genesis 1:28). There are various problems a career oriented women will have to face. Some career women pursue careers at the expense of motherhood keep delaying to have children until they have achieved success or secured financial stability as a result they might have complications during their pregnancy in order to have children or end up in becoming barren or childless leading empty lives. Some other women wait and over time decide they do not want to become a parent for a variety of reasons and there are few who could not have children of their own might try to adopt someone’s kids. There are few women who pursue their career by living in sinful lifestyle of fornication, adultery and abortions and few of them have been subjected to exploitation and torture physically, sexually, mentally in working place. For some women they want to work outside the home just to exhibit her talents and abilities to prove that she is not less than a man.
When career women lives behind her precious children to be educated and taken care of outside strange people such as overcrowded day care centers, schools etc, the children tend to absorb someone else's values and morals instead of parents. A mother knows her children and their ways and needs but a baby-sitter will not care as much about their child as much as mothers do.
Hence their children’s are exposed to, filthy language, sexually immoral behavior, dishonesty, deceitness, self-centeredness, materialism, bullying, violence etc, We also know that our children’s are sometimes exposed to filthy and ungodly people who mistreat and abuse of the children some of them could be their teachers or caregivers who are pedophiles, and to those who have alternative life styles which is contrary against biblical teachings.
The career women have to sleeps lesser than before because she has to wake up early cook for the family, get themselves ready for the job, get their children ready for the schools and later to drop of her children to day care and she needs to hurry to go to her office, sometimes she can cook or sometimes she orders fast food which is bad for kids health. When the kids come home the children’s are left unsupervised and left in their own way in front of TV which is an electronic babysitter teaches them violence, rude and inconsiderate. First of all being a woman has to struggle a lot in the families more than men. When she chose to work outside the home she has too many responsibilities to be fulfilled as a role of mother, wife, guide, teacher and employee etc.. Her life becomes so stressful as a result many working women suffer a depression.
The main responsibility of women is to be God-fearing woman , be a helper of husband ( Genesis 2:18) , homemaker of the homes devoting herself to care for her family, to bear children and raise them up in the lord by providing their physical, spiritual, intellectual and emotional needs.”
There are many men who are greedy and selfish will try to push their wives into taking a job outside the house and leaving their children by exposing them to morally toxic society. When our old aged women are all out working and don't have time to teach the younger women how to be virtuous and self controlled have contributed partly responsible for the failures of the younger women as a result the family structure has too often collapsed. With both the parents working outside the home, the children's lives are often filled with loneliness, lack of training, and perhaps frustration, unloved and resentment. Also it has negative effect on the couples as well because they can’t spend quality time together either.
