Paul now directs Titus in the way that older women are to instruct younger women: to be sober, —To consider the seriousness of the task ahead of them. Younger women, and in particular, young wives have the responsibility of being the heart of the home.to love their husbands, —She has made a vow in the sight of God to be committed to her husband. She is to love him and to keep his best interest in mind at all times. to love their children, —One of her most important tasks is to love their children.
