So, I've begun praying for marriage (apparently it's a good thing, so I heard!). Proverbs 31 sounds like a woman who's active both in homemaking AND a money-making career. In fact, the text goes on and on about it. However, many conservative evangelicals have generally spoken out against career-drivenness in women. It's one of the factors (among others) in the delay of marriage that we're seeing.
