What does God desire for women? And so we see that in the scriptures that God desires that the women be keepers at home. That doesn't mean bound to their home. So there are all sorts of things that young ladies could do to be preparing. The first and foremost is helping their mother with the little ones.

God desires a godly offspring and what better way to train mothers than to train young daughters how to care and love and teach their siblings. That is teaching them to serve just like Christ has commanded us to do. So there's a bunch of activity there, a bunch of opportunities to serve. Learning to cook, learning to even do some accounting and taking care of checkbooks and budgeting. So a daughter can fill her time with all sorts of things.

One of the things that in my family my daughter is working on is writing. She really enjoys to write and so she's in the process of writing a book, kind of a historical fiction about our family, something that we learned about in genealogy. So those are just some of the areas. I'm not opposed to a young lady maybe taking classes online and to learn to learn something that would benefit her future husband or even to benefit the family right now where we are. Those are all things that would add to the family economy.

But if her concept in the home is to get out of the home and to seek to to be her own woman. I believe those those are the beginning roots of feminism. God designed men and women to be in this complementary role of working together. So I don't think young ladies should be looking at marriage as plan A, but I need to be planning on plan B just in case I don't get married. I want to make sure that I can, you know, do my thing.

But I think we need to trust the Lord.

Trent Moody explains in this video that while they are in the home, your daughters can help their mother with younger siblings if they have them. Through this, they will learn service. He shares that in his family, his daughter enjoys writing, so she is working on writing a book. We need to help them build their trust in the Lord.

Romans 12:10-11 (NKJV) - "Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another; not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord."
