Fathers and finances

In class we talked a lot about the responsibility that fathers have to provide for their families.  Especially in today’s economy many families are worried about finances. Some families often consider having the mother going and getting a job as well. This can have many different effects within the home.  Many church leaders encourage mothers to remember that their primary responsibility is to nurture and raise their children. This is not a sexist idea, or saying that women are not good enough to work.  Women should pursue an education and then use that in their day-to-day lives within their home. After their children are grown up, and if they still see fit, it is great for moms to go out into the workforce and use their expertise in whatever their desired field is.  But the father’s responsibility is to protect and provide for the family. In today’s world the biggest part of this protection comes from financial stability. The father should always be doing his best and working his hardest to make sure that his family will never go without.
