Being a housewife isn’t a job, it’s an act of love: 

A paid job has hours, a starting time, and a quitting time.

A housewife doesn’t have set hours; a housewife has work and all the work she does is an act of love for her husband, her family, her home, and herself. 

The more I hear women refer to homemaking as a job, the more it sounds to me like it’s no different than a job outside the home – and homemaking is totally not like a job outside the home:

I don’t commute anywhere

I create my own routine that works best for me

I don’t take a break when I’m told to take a break

I don’t wear a uniform or office attire

I don’t share a bathroom with anyone other than my husband

I don’t put up with bosses, co-workers, customers, or clients

I don’t sit through mandatory meetings

I don’t wear a mask

I don’t give my all to people who don’t love me

God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape...1 Corinthians 10:13

But what happens when we refuse to take the help? Eventually, our strength fails, and we give in to temptation. That’s what happened to David. He allowed temptation to fill his mind and dictate his actions, which led to adultery and the murder of Uriah. Like David, we may consider the choices we make as relatively harmless. But later, after we’ve succumbed to temptation, we will regret. God says, “Stop! Turn around, confess your sins and start afresh.”
