Thank you from the bottom of my heart to the husband who took the time to answer these questions in such detail. Wives – please hear this husband’s heart and consider – does your husband feel like this man does? My husband wasn’t able to articulate himself and verbalize how disrespected he felt before God opened […]

What Is Disrespect in Marriage?
UPDATED 6/24/2016 I am going to share about things that cause men to feel disrespected by their wives. (Many of these things would feel very disrespectful to wives, as well.) Every man has his own list of what feels disrespectful and respectful to him. Some things are almost universally one way or the other to […]
Prayer for My Husband
*** Pic of my husband and our daughter at our church *** Wives, maybe you’d like to join me by adapting this prayer or a similar prayer for your husband. There is SO MUCH POWER when we pray in total faith in our incredible God! Lord, Thank You for being the Creator of the universe, […]
Being a Good Follower
If you tend to be a controlling, contentious, “always right,” resentful, disrespectful wife – like I used to be – learning to follow your husband can be a big challenge. You may not think he is leading at all, or that he can’t lead or won’t lead. Or you may not like the way he […]
Ways Husbands Lead that Wives Often Don’t Notice
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 sin in […]

Robertson at www.godshelpformarriage.com This was his response to my post “I want to follow my husband. What if he doesn’t lead? How Can I Inspire His Leadership?” April, I think you hit the nail on the […]
“I Want to Follow my Husband. What if He Doesn’t Lead? How Can I Inspire His Leadership?”
It is a VERY tough position to be in to want to be close to God, to want to obey God and to feel like you can’t follow your husband. You may long for him to lead a family devotion time, or prayer time. You may want him to be the one to tell […]
Bonding in a Meaningful Way with our Husbands
God designed men to need and love to have hobbies. They need time to recharge and prepare for “slaying the dragons” all day at work like Dr. Laura likes to say. Men love keeping up with all the stats on their favorite teams, racecar drivers, and with all the latest technological gadgets, and hunting and […]
"MY Man Doesn’t Deserve my Respect!!!!"
If this is how you feel about God’s concept of respecting your husband – YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT! You know, probably just about every wife on the planet feels this way at some point in her marriage (or every day in some cases!) And it’s a legitimate statement that husbands don’t always deserve respect from […]
