The Wrong Counselor Can Be More Dangerous Than No Counselor
There are many Christian counselors, pastors, friends, family members and godly mentoring wives who do great GOOD, who help to point hurting women and men to Christ and to His Word and who help people walk through difficult trials. These are the people who help people to primarily look at their own lives and their walk with God and… Continue reading The Wrong Counselor Can Be More Dangerous Than No Counselor
“I’m Thinking of Having an Affair”
This is an old post, but, I hope it might be a blessing to some who are playing with fire today – pointing them back to Christ and the safety of His arms.
“I Just Want Him to Want to Spend More Time with Me!” – a Discussion
I think that almost every wife has felt like this – most of us, many, many times. For some, maybe it has been every day for years. It is GREAT for us to ask our husbands for what we want and need. As grown adults with God-given free will, our husbands do need to have… Continue reading “I Just Want Him to Want to Spend More Time with Me!” – a Discussion
Do I Condone Marital Rape or Abuse?
Spoiler alert – ladies, I am going to be talking about godly husbands in the last half of this post. Please don’t read this post if that is a trigger for you. My blog is written for women. It is my desire to fulfill my calling in Titus 2:3-5 to point other wives to Christ… Continue reading Do I Condone Marital Rape or Abuse?
Does Being a Biblically Submissive Wife Mean I Can’t Say How I Feel and What I Need?
Nope. We CAN say what we want, how we feel, what we think, what our concerns are and what we need. (Please keep in mind that when I talk about submission, I am always talking about the biblical concept, not the worldly definition. For more about biblical submission, please read here.) We have total freedom… Continue reading Does Being a Biblically Submissive Wife Mean I Can’t Say How I Feel and What I Need?
“Wasting” Myself
May 28, 2013 – our 19th anniversary. Picture taken in front of the church where we were married in 1994. There is an incredible chapter in Watchman Nee’s “The Normal Christian Life” about “wasting ourselves” for Christ. If you haven’t read this book yet, PLEASE, PLEASE read it! I believe it should be a must-read… Continue reading “Wasting” Myself

Submission Means We Hold the Things of This World Loosely
What does submission to God mean? It means we cling to Him and are willing to let Him orchestrate the events in this world and our lives.
“My Husband Gets Angry When I Respectfully Disagree with Him”
“Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live in peace with everyone.” Romans 12:17-18. (If you get a chance, please read Romans 12:9-21) A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh… Continue reading “My Husband Gets Angry When I Respectfully Disagree with Him”
