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.

Whether your husband becomes completely engrossed in football, baseball, basketball, racing, hunting, his work, house renovations, ministry, or something else – how is a wife to handle such a quandary in a godly way? We probably have more expectations of our husbands than we have of any other relationship, I would daresay. Many times these […]Read More

When Would I Not Submit to My Husband?
This is such a serious issue. How I pray that God’s Spirit will be very much involved to help me write and to help each of us understand things clearly.
