We have a tendency to take one passage of scripture and run with it to the point of distortion. I suspect that tendency has to do with our human nature. The admonishing in Titus that older women teacher younger women to be home keepers, good, obedient to their own husbands is one example (Titus 2:3-5). There are those that use this passage to brow beat women into silence.
The balance of all of scripture includes the passage in Proverbs 31 that clearly pictures a woman running a business and making a good profit.
Some of us women are called into the business world, while others are called to full time home ministry. Yes, it is best for children to be with one or the other of their parents in the developing years. But that does not preclude a business out of the home. Nor does it condemn the women who are forced to work to support their family.
