Actually, God’s plan requires *parents* to both take the responsibility of raising and educating their children.
It is only post-industrial revolutionary thinking which proposes: men work, women stay home with the children.
Right, but to say the two have differing roles is not to say the two are mutually exclusive. Women are made by God physically, emotionally, and mentally to be the source of nurture, peace and security for the children. The man is built to provide the framework within which the mother and children may thrive. To say that woman's place, by-and-large, is in the home is not to say that man doesn't have are role in the home. Of course he does - a very important role. But just as God made men and women differently, so he has made their roles different.
It is true that the industrial revolution took many men away from their home-based farms to commute and work away from the home during the day. But for millennia, women were the ones to care for the children and the home, just as the Bible and nature itself prescribes. Titus 2:3-5.
