Treat the younger ones as sisters (1 Tim. 5:2).

There are women who choose not to marry (Matt. 19:10-12). If you are not married, you can be sure that Jehovah and Jesus do not value you any less because of it. All over the world, single sisters are true treasures to congregations. Their love and sincere concern cause many to see them as spiritual sisters and mothers.​—Mark 10:29, 30. Some serve Jehovah full time. In fact, most of the world's preaching is done by sisters (Ps. 68:11). Can you make plans now to participate in full-time service? Maybe you can be a pioneer, construction volunteer, or Bethelite. What will help you achieve your goal? Pray to Jehovah, talk to those who already serve full-time, and find out what the requirements are. Then write down the specific steps you need to take to reach that goal. If you serve full-time, many exciting doors will open to you in Jehovah's service. w23.12 22 paras. 16, 17.

What will help young sisters reach the goal of serving full-time?

You could serve Jehovah full time. Most of the world's preaching is done by sisters (Ps. 68:11). Can you make plans now to participate in full-time service? Maybe you can be a pioneer, construction volunteer, or Bethelite. What will help you achieve your goal? Pray to Jehovah, talk to those who already serve full-time, and find out what the requirements are. Then write down the specific steps you need to take to reach that goal. If you serve full-time, many exciting doors will open to you in Jehovah's service.

Why is it important for a sister to be very careful when choosing who she will marry? (See also the image).

You could decide to get married. The qualities and skills discussed so far will help you be a good wife. Of course, if you want to get married, you must be very careful when choosing who. It is one of the most important decisions of your life. Remember that the man you marry will become your head (Rom. 7:2; Eph. 5:23, 33). So ask yourself: “Is he a mature Christian? Do you see that spiritual things are the most important thing in your life? Do you make good decisions? Do you recognize your mistakes? Do you respect women? Will he be able to take care of me spiritually, materially and emotionally? Do you handle your responsibilities well? For example, what assignments do you have in the congregation, and how do you fulfill them?” (Luke 16:10; 1 Tim. 5:8). And, obviously, if you want to find a good husband, you have to work at becoming a good wife.

Why can we say that being a “helper” is such an honor?

The Bible says that a good wife is a “helper” who complements her husband (Gen. 2:18). Does that demean women? On the contrary, it is actually quite an honor. In fact, the Bible sometimes calls Jehovah a “helper” (Ex. 18:4; Heb. 13:6). A wife is a true helper when she supports her husband and collaborates so that the decisions he makes in the family are successful. Furthermore, because she loves Jehovah, she seeks to contribute to her husband's good reputation.​—Prov. 31:11, 12; 1 Tim. 3:11. If you are thinking about getting married, you can prepare by strengthening your love for Jehovah and working now to be a good “helper” in your home and congregation.

What effect can a mother have on her family?

You could have children. If you get married, there is a chance that you and your husband will become parents (Ps. 127:3). So it's good that you think about what it means to be a good mother. Without a doubt, the qualities and skills that we saw in this article will be very helpful to you. With your love, kindness, and patience you will help your family be happy and your children grow up feeling safe and loved (Prov. 24:3).
