Older women need to be prodded sometimes into sharing their wisdom. But there are two important factors that need to be considered when young women are taught. In other words, she must have loved her children in order to teach others how to do so. If by young women Paul means women who need to know how to love their children, then it is probably safe to assume that by older we mean someone who, if not finished with her task, is at least not still steering her oldest children through the perils of toddlerhood. Young women need to be taught, but not necessarily by other young women.
Age brings wisdom and maturity which can only be gained through experience.
Young women can be very strong in their opinions about what makes a good homemaker, but they can lack the wisdom and understanding needed to teach with balance. Another danger comes in comparisons. If Sharon quilts beautifully, and Elizabeth cooks like a gourmet, and Sarah entertains royally, and JoAnn teaches so well, and Becky sews lovely clothes for her children, and Sally's house is spotless and organized, the young wife and mother can feel overwhelmed by what she thinks are standards set for her. She can begin to feel pressure to perform like all these women, and become frustrated by her inability to be all they are. But all women certainly do not have the same gifts or the same desires.
