A guest post by a Christian wife and mom who is in her mid forties now. She had received Christ as a 5 year old child and was raised in a Christian home. Her personality and marriage dynamics were rather the opposite of Greg’s and mine. In addition, Radiant was severely spiritually oppressed and physically chronically […]
I’m honored to welcome Radiant to share with us today. She has been married almost 23 years and has several children. The Lord has radically healed her from pretty severe spiritual oppression and even physical illness. This sweet sister in Christ has had a very different road from my own. She had the opposite personality […]
I love to share individual stories, as I can, that bring glory to God. Even about extreme situations. This is one wife’s story is about what God led her to do in her specific situation. Everything she did isn’t a blanket post for all wives with husbands who are drug addicts. But I am so thankful for […]

There are unhealthy, destructive ways to ask your husband for something that is very important to you – and there are healthy, productive ways. A FEW TRUTHS ABOUT MEN (and really, we women feel the same way, […]
ADMIN NOTE – IT’S NOT TOO LATE TO SIGN UP FOR THE PEACEFUL WIFE CONFERENCE IN COLUMBIA, SC THIS WEEKEND! Here is an interesting discussion that took place in the comment section last week between two of my readers. I love to hear what God is showing other women and how He makes His truth […]
