Castle in the City ~ Our Knight in Shining Armor

Reblogged from Thinking Kids: We have a knight living in our home. He’s big, strong, noble and inspiring. Our knight wears shining armor, he loves Jesus and he guides us in the way we should go. He has spectacular ideas, he works hard to feed and clothe us, and he’s our hero. My boys and […]

Is it Really THAT Bad if I Tell My Husband What to Do?

Well, the short answer is… it is emasculating. Teenage boys and grown men do not appreciate women bossing them around, trying to control them, telling them what to do, implying that they are inept, incapable and unintelligent. This respect stuff applies to just about all men and it even applies to our grown (or almost grown) […]

The Talents of the Heart

(by the Respected Husband) Last week, my son was performing in his school’s talent show. The Peacefulwife was working until right before the show was to start, so I needed to make sure he had everything that he needed. He started playing the electric guitar in August and has been taking lessons for about 8 months. […]

A REAL Helpmeet Suitable to Him

So sometimes we wives think we are helping our husbands when we are actually trying to control him. But it is true that God designed women to complete men and complement them. It is true that God said it was not good for man to be alone. That was the only part of the creation story […]

But My Husband Needs My Help…..

That’s what I used to think. I am “helping” him! That sounds noble and godly, right? That is what I told myself. Many women believe their husbands couldn’t survive in the world without them doing things for him and telling him what to do and critiquing him constantly and keeping a running account of all […]

Why Don’t Husbands Help Their Wives More?

Nina Roesner wrote a post on her blog “The Respect Dare” this week that drew quite a lot of attention. It was a topic that can cause a wife’s blood to boil like almost nothing else, “Why Won’t My Man Help?” I had never thought about the insight that her teenage sons verbalized to her this […]

The Gift and Power of Human Touch

BABIES NEED TO BE TOUCHED, HELD AND CUDDLED I love the studies that have been done on babies that show how much more quickly babies in the NICU or in orphanages grow much more quickly and thrive when they are being cuddled and touched – that is why we now have “kangaroo care” for babies where they lie on their […]

Cleave to Each Other

For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh. Genesis 2:24 When God gives commands for marriage, He does so because if you try to do things other ways in marriage, it does NOT work well. Leaving your parents and cleaving (clinging) […]

The Big Show

Back many years ago, ESPN partnered Dan Patrick and Keith Olbermann, when his head could still fit in the screen, for their Sunday night SportSCenter show. The show was extremely popular for ESPN and after a while it began to be known as “The Big Show”. Well, when I get to make an appearance writing a post for […]
