IF A WOMAN THINKS SHE CAN’T BE A HOUSEWIFE, SHE CAN’T:
When a woman thinks she can’t be a housewife because she has to have a career outside the home, then she can’t be a housewife because she doesn’t think she can. It takes the right mindset to be a housewife; a woman has to know and believe that she can be a housewife no matter what society or anyone tells her. When a woman believes that she can excel in her role as a housewife, that she can have purpose in what she does, and that she can provide value to her family, then she can be the best housewife she can be.
