Being a Titus 2 Woman Even When it's Not Celebrated | Christian Homemaking

Показать описание
These days, being a wife who values being a homemaker and helpmeet is very counter cultural, even amongst Christians. It's time we normalize a Biblical wife's irreplaceable role in the household, as a wife, mother and keeper of the home. It's a great blessing to be a Titus 2 and Proverbs 31 woman. Even if you're the only one you know doing these things, you are giving a positive vision and setting an example for our young ladies that they don't have to follow popular cultures expectations for women, but there is another way. God bless you and your home and the works of your hands.

My sister ( says she's a Christian) called me a "kept woman" because my husband & I thought it the very best for me to stay home & raise our children, which I did. Never regretted it and we are blessed by the decisions we made early in our marriage. We've been married for 50 + years and are blessed with wonderful relationships with our children & grandchildren. God has blessed us abundantly ! Thank-you for this vlog.

I would like to say how much I enjoy your videos.
I was forced to work out of necessity for many years. I was always stressed and exhausted. I always wanted to be a homemaker.
5 years ago I got cancer. After I recovered, hubby and I decided that I would be a homemaker.
What joy! I LOVE keeping my home and cooking and gardening.
Ladies, don’t let anyone discourage you from the MOST important job there is, keeper of the home. ❤

My dear sister, I am a childless wife of 42 years. I worked outside the home for the first 28 years I worked full time. There were various reasons, all good, but when we got to the point where I could be home, we did it. Over the years I have been given many spiritual daughters and sons. My children are those God brings to me. I am at peace with who I am and the journey God has taken us on. God bless you for answering His call. May you always have peace and contentment.

Don't let others discourage you. You're on a Godly mission.

I've been a homemaker since we had our first child 3 years ago. I knew it was the right thing to do then but having recently found my faith (church goer for 18 months now) I am even more convinced and no longer get frustrated when people ask when I'm going back to work.

I am blessed with 5 children but looking back now I can see what a huge opportunity I missed out on by being a working woman before kids. I would have been so much better prepared mentally and spiritually if I'd given myself the time to learn homemaking before babies came along. My husband would have benefitted of course too. I love your clear convictions on this!

I love this. I am older(54) and at this time am very blessed to be able to stay home. I feel this is my calling.

I literally had my own mother (who was a sahm for 20 years) make a comment 2 days ago, about how boring & miserable it would be if AI/robots took over & we all had to be home with our families all day long with no job to work. I told her that she was describing my life & wondered what she thought I felt about that statement! I don't feel bored or miserable at all. I am too busy to be miserable & because my husband loves for me to be home, I can often indulge in interesting hobbies - so never bored either! Plus, I have felt blessed to spend all of this time with my kids & to support my husband. I didn't take the comment personal in regards to my current life, but it did cause me to reflect on the fact that that must be how she felt about being my mother all those years. bored & miserable being 'stuck home' with 4 kids. But I didn't choose that life for her, she chose it for herself. And one certainly can be a sahm & be bored & miserable - it is all a matter of motivation, focus, & perspective. I am motivated to serve the Lord, by serving my husband, loving/caring for my kids & cultivating a nice home life. I am focused on the task at hand & finding joy in it. & perspective? I GET to be home, I do not HAVE to be home. I verbalize to my husband all the time how grateful I am that he supports me in staying home, that he works long hours & values what I do to make our home a comfortable, loving place. He says his job is to take care of the house, & mine is to take care of the home. And we stay focused on that. I have been working extra hard on being a Titus 2 woman to some younger friends - especially encouraging them to love their husbands more. That is a bad aspect of our culture. Many women have a big chip on their shoulder when it comes to honoring, obeying, & just plain old loving their husbands. & these often are women claiming to be Christians. I want to ask them sometimes..."why did you even get married in the first place?" & "where are you placing God in your behavior/life?" I make sure to express my gratitude to my husband regularly and thank God for placing my husband in my life.

I went through the same thing in the 1990s! I always felt defensive especially toward my husband's side of the family, who all are unsaved. They thought I was just lazy. I don't regret one minute of deciding to stay home even before children.

Some people can call themselves Christian’s, but are they really Christian’s. You follow the word of God and don’t pay attention what they say. You are setting examples to the young woman’s who are starting the same journey as you or even older woman’s who never had the opportunity to live the way God intended them too. Continue the amazing work and stay true to the word of God always.

This was a great video and very uplifting. Thank you! I am also a homemaker. Having worked in the corporate world and experienced all you described, I was never so happy and relieved when my husband looked at me one day and said, “that’s it…you’re done.” I handed in my resignation within that hour. 🙏 You are blessed and a blessing to others.

I love this! My husband and I recently decided it would be best for me to quit going to school... I was so nervous! It has been such a financial blessing to us! There is so much to be done in the home!

I think it's such a blessing for you to be home. Especially before children! It is so hard to figure out a home economy during those young years. You are ahead of the game and your children will rise up and call you blessed for it. You are in my prayers !

It is a blessing to be able to be a wife who stays home to take care of their home and husband. When we read and understand what the scriptures say we know that your prospective is correct. I agree with you.

I’m a Christian and I totally forget sometimes that I’m a help meet to my husband and not just keeping the house for the sake of keeping it, and raising just my own kids 😂
It’s demeaning when people say “what do you do all day?” when you work at home for your family, but if you work outside the home at a meaningless job it’s totally accepted. Like somehow it means more to be bored at work (because there are boring parts of every job) and doing a job that can be done by lots of other people. At home you’re the only wife or wife/mother!

Hello there! I just wanted to reach out and say that you've inspired me to find joy in quitting working for the man! (which I've done since I was 14 years old I'm now 40) you have helped me understand what a blessing it is to be home to be able to cook meals for my kids, bring them to their Sports events (I actually have time to enroll them!) as well as being able to be husbands helper as God intended. This is so brand new to me, and I'm incredibly grateful to have your viewpoint and your help. I'm incredibly grateful for your Biblical standpoint on this. Otherwise, I found myself battling "mom guilt, " which in turn created chaos in the home, which is the opposite of what God intends for us🙏🏻
thank you, sister!

You are more of a gentle woman than I am. I would be blocking people left and right if they came into my home and criticized my way of life. You are inviting then in and they are rude.
Personally, when I see your shelves full of jars, I say to myself "she is doing a lot more than a lot of working woman as she is preparing for her family"
You amaze me and I am so proud of you... an retired empty-nester ❤

I feel a bit embarrassed to say this, but the other day, I told God that I was bored. I have been inside a lot because the weather is nasty and I just wanted to be outside or doing something different I suppose. Anyway, within a matter of minutes, the Lord found stuff for me to do and I no longer had that feeling of boredom. He had me preserving some vegetables that I was just unsure of what to do with. Then He had me reorganizing a closet. All things that needed to be done, but I had just not had the ambition to do them. Just thought I would share what my experience of boredom was from a homemakers point of view.

You are a true woman. This doesn’t mean women who have to work aren’t true women. But whoever doesn’t see the value of keeping a home and being a strong woman for our husbands, mostly while calling themselves Christians, well, they just didn’t get the memo or don’t want to. Many women go to work because staying at home is HARD, it’s a lot of work. The “lunch break” is whenever we have the time. And everyone else usually always comes first. Not because we are martyrs but simply out of Love. To me this is the beauty and privilege of being a woman. We get to practice surrender, self forgetfulness, and these are the very things many women, men included, shy away from. Because it is hard. It takes sacrifice, but the rewards are so gratifying. Something I truly wish everyone would experience. Unfortunately, they just don’t want to. You are an example. I am not Christian, just a God loving person. Keep up the good work. I can feel God being proud of you. Maybe “thinking “ to Himself 😄 at least some people are living life as I meant for them to be living it. God bless you guys❣️🙏🏻

Hi, Kelli. I’d say you and your husband have been wise to listen to God’s calling on your life, even when it goes against the norm. What a blessing for you to stay home. And your videos are so calm, encouraging and from a place of passion and love 💖
