The hunter of the family has always been the man. He goes out, kills an animal and brings it home for his family. In 2010, it hasn't changed much. The man now goes to work to bring home a paycheck for his family. The woman, however, has always been the nurturer of the family. She is the one that internally provides for the family.
"Every wise woman builds her house, but the foolish one tears it down with her own hands." Proverbs 14:1, Amplified
It is the wise woman that constantly provides for her family. Now I am not talking about keeping the women barefoot and pregnant, or that her place is only in the kitchen. I am talking about her place as the nurturer. AS she fulfills the role the Lord has given to her, the family unit becomes stronger.
The foolish woman does not fulfill this role and her family falls to pieces. This is not to say that she purposefully tears her family apart, but when the we stray from the things the Lord has laid out for us, everything seems to crumble. It is like the brand new car that sits in the driveway and never started. Eventually it will brake down because it was never treated properly. Everything in this life has a maintenance plan. The family simply needs to be nurtured.
