Greg and April - when we were in college

Why I Fell For My Husband

What made Greg so special to me that I stayed with him and never dated anyone else? There were so many things I admired about him: My Daddy approved of him and liked him. That was THE most important thing to me! I had always been my Daddy’s girl. He was a good student and […]

How I Met My Husband

I have had a request to share how my husband and I met and a little more about our dating history. There was a strong Christian boy when I was in 9th grade who had asked me to be his girlfriend that year. My twin sister and I had made a rule with our Daddy […]

Real Help for a Massive Problem – Internet Pornography Addiction

Brent Riggs is a Christian teacher, preacher, blogger and author whom I hold in great respect. He has given me permission to share his post about his free e-book to help people who are trapped in the snare of pornography. I wish that this book was not needed by anyone. But I know that is […]

A Wife Shares Her Story of a Changed Marriage

From a wife I began talking with this past summer – she has been actively working on learning to obey God’s Word to respect and submit to her husband for about 5 months at this point, I believe. There were some very difficult and challenging times, especially the first few months … THANK YOU for […]

A REAL Helpmeet Suitable for Him

Sometimes we wives think we are helping our husbands when we are actually trying to control him like we talked about yesterday (check here if you missed it!). That was one of my biggest mistakes. I REALLY believed I was being helpful – but my husband saw me as being prideful (always “right”) and controlling. […]

But He 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 […]

Respect 101 – From the Archives

So, husbands/men need respect in marriage. Women need love. (based on the commands of the Bible, and also experience!) For many years I tried to give my husband LOVE not RESPECT - and it didn’t work very well! I tried to ask him what he needed from me – and he couldn’t really tell me. It was […]

What Does Jesus Want Me to Do in My Marriage?

Marriage is HARD. Really – I would even say it is impossible – in human strength and effort alone. Men and women are SO different. We think and feel entirely differently. We have different priorities and needs many times. We approach things from completely opposite perspectives. We have very different strengths and weaknesses. Marriage is […]
