The PMS Issue

From a dear friend and precious wife who is on this journey with me: Like so many other women, your post about “The Challenge” really struck a chord with me… I didn’t realize until lately how bad of an attitude I have had at times…. there have been times I could almost hear God whispering […]

My Husband Makes it Easy for Me to Submit to Him and Respect Him – VIDEO

I only generally talk about what God asks wives to do because I only teach women. But I do want women to have a solid understanding of God’s design for husbands in marriage, as well. A godly husband does not abuse his wife or become violent against her. He is not a tyrant. He does […]

But, I’m a GOOD Person!

Yesterday, we looked at the wisdom of our culture, “Are Women Morally and Spiritually Superior to Men?” We examined God’s perspective and His holy judgment of ALL people as being evil. He says there is no one that is good (Romans 3) He says that our best attempts to be good look like “filthy, bloody […]

Is Respect Optional for a Godly Woman?

Many women, even in the church, think that the concept of “respect for husbands” is archaic, old fashioned and backwards and that their husbands “don’t deserve respect.” We are not about to show any respect for our men until we believe our men “deserve” it – by our own definition. That is, after all, […]

This is a continuation of the post two days ago about how wives tend to have VERY specific and high expectations of exactly what it means to be a spiritual leader – and how many of the things we expect aren’t even biblical. Not only that – but our expectations can lead to grave sin […]

Honoring Christ, Our Husbands and Our Marriages in Conflict

My beautiful and precious sisters in Christ, You have every right to ask him for what you would like, what you want and what you desire politely, pleasantly and respectfully (probably just once is plenty – in most cases) of your husband. Your husband has every right to decide to answer “no” if he thinks […]

The Key to Peace

Having a solid understanding of where my responsibilities end and where God’s sovereignty begins is a HUGE key to peace that I was missing for many years. THE WAY I USED TO LIVE I ultimately trusted myself, not God. I said I trusted Christ. I thought that I was living by faith – but in […]

Respecting Our Husbands’ Prayers – From the Archives

I was at a prayer meeting in my area one time. Many people prayed out loud individually. One man in particular prayed such a passionate, godly, Spirit-filled, powerful, humble, broken prayer. I could completely feel and hear the presence of God in him. Afterwards, I thanked him for praying when we were all leaving. He thanked […]

The Voice in His Head – From the Archives

by the Respected Husband On Sunday, September 23rd, the Peacefulwife ran a guest post by Kayla Gulick titled My Demon. In the article, Kayla described how all of the voices in her head accuse her husband of the worst. This prompted a discussion between the Peacefulwife and me. She then asked me about whether a guy […]
