To Tell… or Not to Tell Your Husband What You Are Doing?
Deciding whether or not to tell your husband about what God is teaching you about respect, biblical submission and becoming a godly wife is an important, and sometimes tricky, decision.

My Worry Insults My Husband
Fear fuels worry. Fear motivates me to try to control other people and God. Fear cannot cause peace. Fear does not know how BIG God is or see God clearly. Fear leaves God and His sovereignty out of the picture. Fear causes me to doubt God and be a “double minded” person who is blown and… Continue reading My Worry Insults My Husband
The Respect Dare, Day 21 – What Does it Mean to “Respect” My Husband?
And the wife must respect her husband. Ephesians 5:33 Here’s a little secret about my journey towards becoming the wife God desires me to be: When God first showed me my HUGE mountain of sin (it was WAY more than just a “plank” in my eye) – and I saw for the first time… Continue reading The Respect Dare, Day 21 – What Does it Mean to “Respect” My Husband?
Biblical Submission Does Not = The Husband Is Always “Right”

Biblical Submission Does Not = The Husband Is Always “Right”
The world has a definition of submission that means sexual slavery or being a doormat. But biblical submission is different. It’s not about a husband dominating and abusing his wife, thankfully. It’s about displaying the Gospel.

Honoring Christ, Our Husbands and Our Marriages in Conflict
My beautiful and precious sisters in Christ, You have every right to ask him for what you would like, what you want and what you desire politely, pleasantly and respectfully (probably just once is plenty – in most cases) of your husband.

Respecting Our Husbands’ Prayers
I was at a prayer meeting in my area one time. Many people prayed out loud individually. One man in particular prayed such a passionate, godly, Spirit-filled, powerful, humble, broken prayer. I could completely feel and hear the presence of God in him. Afterwards, I thanked him for praying when we were all leaving. He thanked… Continue reading Respecting Our Husbands’ Prayers
How to Make Your Husband an Idol
Idolatry is not something we think much about in our modern day, Western culture. I grew up in church, reading the Bible, knowing how offensive idolatry was to God – feeling super smug and secure because I didn’t commit sins like THAT! What could possibly be tempting about bowing down to a statue and… Continue reading How to Make Your Husband an Idol
