Hi! I’m April.
I am now a very happily Christian married mother of two, part-time pharmacist, blogger, and author of the book The Peaceful Wife – Living in Submission to Christ As Lord. Greg and I celebrated our 22nd anniversary on May 28, 2016. Greg is an engineer. We attend a large Southern Baptist Church.
This site is a resource I wish I had when I was a young newlywed. I thought I had been the most amazing Christian wife ever – but God revealed to me that I had a lot of work to do in my own heart when I read Love and Respect by Dr. Emerson Eggerichs in December of 2008. Three years into this journey I have been on to become a more godly wife, Greg asked me to share what I was learning with other wives. I pray that what you find here might point you to Christ and also bless your marriage richly.

Minimalism or Frugality Can Be Idols, Too
I have had times when I idolized things, luxury, and comfort. I wanted a really beautiful home where everything was perfect and looked like it came out of HGTV. And I have also been tempted to idolize minimalism/frugality in recent years. It’s funny how easily we can make almost anything more important than it should […]Read More
