No reason she couldn't pick up a homesteading hobby or trade like knitting or gardening to occupy herself and earn some cash on the side.

>My mom became happier when she became a real estate agent, something to get her out of the house

You're probably not wrong. I think a lot of the problems/disastisfation come from modernity. We live depressing existences as consumers in a service economy. On the other hand, two income households mean that your kid will be raised by someone else (day care, schools).

I don't really know a solution except to be rich enough to own land and live a semi agricultural lifestyle (homesteading) but that's far-fetched and unlikely even if you have money.

>I'm afraid the woman is gonna get extremely bored, irritable, and claustrophobic

Are you only saying that because that's how you would feel? You're not a woman.

>My mom became happier when she became a real estate agent

How many kids does she have?

>>603155

Agreed. Women who are right with God love keeping the home and raising children.

Two income households is Satan's way of making everything less affordable for Biblical Christians.

This, plus cutting out a major key to a family's sustainability. It's chopping at our legs before the tribulation.

>>603152

You’ve been brainwashed by feminism anon, there’s nothing inherently unpleasant about being a homemaker. Of course some women can choose to be unhappy with it, just as men can choose to be unhappy with working a 9-5 job.

youre not wrong

Acts 18 indicates that this setup isn't particularly biblical. Aquila and Priscilla were both tentmakers, together.

They both worked and even did the same job.

Key word together

What they had going was more akin to a farmer and his wife working together than the modern example of having the woman slinging coffee or working the factory or the office.

When the modern man has his wife work one of those jobs he's essentially renting out the authority he has over her.

>>603221

>working the factory

As a factory worker, this thought makes me utterly cringe. I would never let my wife work where I work; factory women are utter degenerates.

>>603152

Have good relations with the neighbors. Offer to take care of their kids at times when they want to go out together. Maybe they'll reciprocate and you can go out with your ladyfriend often.

>>603221

>he's essentially renting out the authority he has over her

Interesting perspective … You are aware husbands don't own their wives like slaves, right?

>>603231

>implying the job maketh the character of the woman

>>603770

Men hold authority over their woman as women hold over children.

>>603220

>Rants about modern work schedule

>Takes for granted that children MUST be handed over for 10 hours a day to state indoctrination camps

>"JEEZ, what will keep my wife occupied while the kids learn about anal sex?"

Maybe instead of ranting about something that's both impossible to change and totally irrelevant, you could think of ways that the parents can remain actually relevant figures in their child's social development from age 5-18, such as not turning them over to be brainwashed by the synagogue of Satan for most of the day. Maybe instead of indulging in pop psychology about home-life turning women into repressed busy bodies (or as you called it "research", lmao) you could think about ideas to address the chronic social dysfunction and lack of community engagement endemic to society. Women were meant to be engaged with their children and family (immediate and extended) throughout their whole lives, this lack of bonds is the cause of social retardation; suggesting a slightly altered schedule of corporate servitude as a solution is totally moronic.

Sorry to go on a spiel, but this is the type of thing that's earned conservative Christians a reputation for being dumb; liberals may be blind to the problem, but at least they don't see it and then suggest a solution that is totally inane and stupid.

You see the problem with the liberal premises, and then accept them anyway and make an idiot of yourself as a result; this is a strange pathology common among self styled "conservatives"

>Implying one's character isn't shaped by their behavior and environmental influences

Don't ever look into any homosexual apologia anon, I suspect you'd be terribly susceptible to it.

Why not go for a life of celibacy?

>>603152

>woman takes care of the home

This was fine before the industrial revolution when it took the village to take care of children and housework took hours. It was a proper job with plenty of social interaction.

Nowadays, a housewife is essentially a neet, and just as unhealthy.

The problem is really modern society more than anything. I'd say in an ideal world, yeah housewife is perfect for women but we're not in an ideal world. Something like part time work is good for women I think

>>603770

>You are aware husbands don't own their wives like slaves, right?

Husbands own their wives, and wives own their husbands. Both own their children. A wife should be a man's prize possession (Proverbs 31:10).

Both have responsibilities in marriage and in child rearing, and the job of the man is to put food on the table. Modern woman is puffed up with feminist notions that say that they're free and liberated when they serve food to strangers wearing a hairnet and a nametag, but enslaved when they feed their family (who actually appreciates them, actually loves them.)

Here's a link to a secular website that'll help drive my point.

The jobs women choose to do today for bosses that don't give a rip about them or their wellbeing (unless they want sex, and that's a whole different ball game) are jobs that are under the umbrella of a "keeper at home".

Reminder that women are spiritually inferior, not made in the image of God.

>>603770

>You are aware husbands don't own their wives like slaves, right?

Sad thing is that in todays world, both men and woman in the relationship has to work, just to get by.

>>604134

Just as those who murdered God Himself planned.
