“I Thought I WAS Being Respectful! What Happened??”

What Happened??”

Focus on TODAY

Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear.

When God designed marriage, men, women, masculinity, femininity, romance, sex and families – He did it WISELY. And when He gives us commands about marriage, it is for… Continue reading Respect, Biblical Submission, and Intimacy

God, You Owe Me!

And I was thinking about some of the emails I get from women who are beyond discouraged in their marriages and their lives.    How my heart breaks with them for the suffering they have endured and are enduring. And it hit me. That fear that wives have about respecting and submitting to their husbands… Continue reading God, You Owe Me!
