The thing that may pique a husband’s appetite for Christ is when he sees his wife live out a godly example and strong […]
A dear sister in Christ shared this in response to the post about a wife whose husband didn’t want her to go to church for a time. I’m so thankful she is allowing me to use her comment as a post! I am sure there are a number of you who have unbelieving husbands, and I […]
Someone brought up a really important point on yesterday’s post about winning a husband without a word, that unbelieving husbands do need to hear the gospel – particularly if they haven’t heard it.

This is part of a discussion we had on this post by thejoyfilledwife this week. If you are interested, there are more comments – including some by some husbands that I think may be helpful for women to try to begin to understand a masculine point of view on these difficult issues of a man’s […]
Greg and April – Easter 2014 Greg is a very good gift from God. I, sadly, didn’t always see this truth. Here are some questions I hear over and over. If God didn’t give me a loving husband (by my specific definition), I have to doubt His goodness and His motives toward me. If God […]
Here is a comment from a husband – and this is a very difficult challenge that almost all husbands face when we are treating them with disrespect or we are trying to control them. Please hear his heart and the very painful dilemma he faces! FROM A CHRISTIAN HUSBAND: Is it really a good idea […]
