One aspect here that does not seem to be covered, is that the Lord has also provided diaconate care to aid those who, especially through no fault of their own, have trouble making ends meet.

So the role of the wife is still in the first place the home and the children. And the deacons should be more than happy to assist.

Also, and this is often forgotten, Scripture does not say 'Keeper at home if you have children, but until such a point be in the (paying) work force'

And why would the wife want to take on the curse on the man, through Adam, as well as her own curse through Eve?
