Teaching and training our daughters is vitally important to us as mothers because in doing so, we multiply and perpetuate our usefulness in the future homes of our children. I took the teaching and training of my two daughters very seriously. Here are some of the things I did.
I hope you can see by these few mentions of the character qualities and “good things” on Paul’s list that I considered Titus 2:3-5 God’s set curriculum. And I rolled up my mothering sleeves and set about to, first of all, live out God’s essentials myself, and then teach them to my two daughters.
One last note … to teach and encourage other women to be what God wants them to be, we must first of all be what God wants us to be.Here is a list of ten character qualities for godly living from Titus 2:3-5. We are to be...

We don’t know her name, so let’s call her “Mrs. Noah.” She spent her days loving her husband, Noah, raising their three sons, and caring for their home. Daily life was simple, until the call came from the Lord, “I will establish My covenant with you; and you shall go into the ark—you, your sons, your wife, and your sons’ wives with you” (Genesis 6:18).
