Opposite of the Modest Housewife Who Stays at Home

Opposite of the Modest Housewife Who Stays at Home

Comments 23 comments

“A woman with the attire of a harlot, and subtil of heart. She is loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house” (Proverbs 7:10,11). Unfortunately, these verses describe too many women today as an adulteress, a whore, or a “strange” or “evil” woman, as the Bible calls them, and are opposite to what God calls women to be. She dresses with the “attire of a harlot.” Gill’s Exposition: “She dresses with showy gaudy garments; the word signifies one…

The Great Cost of Fornication and the Beauty of Virginity

The Great Cost of Fornication and the Beauty of Virginity

Comments 24 comments

Virginity isn’t popular in our culture, no, not even among Christians. Contrary to popular opinion, God takes it seriously and warns us strongly against the sin of fornication (sex outside of marriage between a husband and his wife). Remember, He destroyed two cities due to fornication. Then in Revelation, we are told about the “great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication” (Revelation 19:2). Fornication corrupts. All of His commands to us are for our good; they are…

He Won’t Take Out the Trash!

He Won’t Take Out the Trash!

Comments 27 comments

“I’m from the South, and it’s almost as if women are trained to henpeck their husbands. My mother, grandmother, and aunt taught me this by example. I don’t know why this happens because it not only makes the men feel depressed; it also depresses the women. I try not to do that; however, I don’t know how to get things across without henpecking. For example, my husband will never take out the trash unless I ask him. I’m extremely headstrong…

A Recovering Career Woman

A Recovering Career Woman

Comments 19 comments

The following post is from a comment made by Dana on my post “They Want Me to Stop Teaching Women to Be Keepers at Home.” This topic is near and dear to my heart. Because I refer to myself as a “recovering career woman.” I say “recovering” because, much like the recovering addict, I was addicted to my career. I was addicted to my title, influence, money, nice clothes, and yes, the corner office. But when I became a Christian…

Was the Purity Culture Harmful and Dangerous?

Was the Purity Culture Harmful and Dangerous?

Comments 38 comments

Written by My Husband, Ken, and Me There’s an article in the New York Times called, “How Should Christians Have Sex?” In it, the Christian author, Katelyn Beaty, tries to explain why the purity culture was harmful and dangerous. She was taught abstinence until marriage and signed a pledge that she would wait for sex until her wedding night. There were purity rings, purity balls, and even journals in which she wrote letters to her future husband. She feels that…

Why is Overeating Off Limits in a Wife’s Submission to Her Husband?

Why is Overeating Off Limits in a Wife’s Submission to Her Husband?

Comments 34 comments

How would you respond if your husband one day looked at you and said, “You’re eating too much. You need to lose weight.” Most women would be highly offended and angry with their husbands. Some would even tell him that it’s none of their business and they shouldn’t ask them to do this. Then they would go to their friends and tell them how unreasonable their husbands are. Is this the godly wife’s response? No. A godly wife would tell…

They Want Me to Stop Teaching Women to Be Keepers at Home

Comments 22 comments

Women simply want me to stop teaching women to be keepers at home. They bring up all of the exceptions. They bring up all of the “What ifs…?” They bring up all of the career women in the Bible who left their homes all day, five days a week, worked for a boss, and left their children in the care of others. (There were none.) They will bring up how much money the Proverbs 31 woman made and she just…

Once in a while, a wise man or a woman will make an incredible comment on one of my posts which deserve a post of their own and this is one of them. This comment from “Mother Dearest” is from my post Many Women Seem to Enjoy Tearing Down Other Women’s Marriages. Enjoy! Today’s unregenerate woman is a clamorous glory-hog that cannot imagine enduring a moment of only being seen and not heard. This busy body gads abroad on social…

Many Women Seem to Enjoy Tearing Down Other Women’s Marriages

Comments 47 comments

Why do many women seem so ready and willing to tell other women what their husbands are doing wrong, thus trying to tear their marriage apart? Why aren’t women more willing to encourage women in their marriages and build them up instead? On a post a few weeks ago, a woman made the following comment: “My husband likes to have a quiet dinner where he can discuss his day, etc. in a relaxed atmosphere without interruptions due to people talking…
