Main Reasons Women Divorce

Main Reasons Women Divorce

“Around 69% of divorces in heterosexual marriages are initiated by women.” The vast majority of these women are college educated. “Women often feel less satisfied in marriages due to unmet emotional needs, poor communication, and lack of independence.” My grandmother and mother never even thought about emotional needs. It wasn’t a term until the 1980s when a psychologist came up with it. Read HERE why he did. It’s only cause devastation upon marriage. Both my grandma and mother married quiet…

Ways to Make Money Without a College Degree

Ways to Make Money Without a College Degree

College is incredibly expensive these days which puts the students or their parents into deep debt. Sadly, even Christian colleges are corrupt since our culture is incredibly corrupt.  It’s not a good nor wise place to send daughters. What are they supposed to do in the meantime before marriage? I asked the women in my Facebook group, and they gave me many great ideas! Childcare/daycare in the home Nutritional Therapist (takes some online courses) and open a wholesale account with…

The Whole World Lies in Wickedness

The Whole World Lies in Wickedness

“And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.” (1 John 5:19) We must remind ourselves that this is not our home. We are pilgrims and strangers passing through. We must keep our eyes on things above. Our hope is in Christ alone. It’s easy to get comfortable here and always expect peace and happiness. We live in the richest nation that has ever existed. All of our needs and more are met daily….

Feeling Unappreciated

Feeling Unappreciated

Written By Joseph Spurgeon Let me speak plainly to the mothers. You labor daily, caring for your children, supporting your husband, managing the home. These are good and noble tasks. Yet I know the weariness that can settle in. The frustration. The sense that your efforts go unseen or unappreciated. You may feel as though your husband doesn’t notice, or that your children repay your sacrifices with ingratitude. A few years ago, The Huffington Post published an article titled, “If…

Is It Sinful For Single Women to Be in the Workforce?

Is It Sinful For Single Women to Be in the Workforce?

“Hello! May I ask two questions if that’s alright with you? I’ve read some stuff on the internet about you, and I just would love to know where your heart is on such matters and just hear the truth! 1) Do you really think that a Christian single lady with no husband in sight is sinning if she’s working in a noble job such as a nurse, teacher, or any other field in that area? (I go to a very…

My Simple Life at Home

Comments 3 comments

It’s been 40 years since I left the workforce to come home full time. While I was growing up, the workforce never appealed to me but everyone told me that it was where I belonged, so I went. I didn’t like it at all. I was a waitress in the summer then a school teacher during the school year. I was continually exhausted. Before marriage, I struggled with my weight and overeating. Once married, I no longer did. It seems…

My grandma was born in 1894. She had a twin sister as seen in the picture above. She married my grandpa but wouldn’t consummate the marriage because she didn’t want to be left with a child as a widow. He went to fight in WW1 right after they married. He was on the USS San Diego when it was sunk off of the New York coast. The war ended shortly afterwards. My grandma ended up having seven children. Her last…

How Should Biblical Womanhood Be Taught?

How Should Biblical Womanhood Be Taught?

Comments 5 comments

When I began teaching women biblical womanhood 26 years ago, we would meet in a home and sit in a big circle. I went through “Created to Be His Help Meet” with the women. It was mostly a discussion. Women would ask me questions. I would teach through the answers. It was an incredible time! I also mentored many women one-on-one in our homes (mine or theirs). I would also have women over for lunch, show them how to make…

“I Can’t Afford Not to Work!”

“I Can’t Afford Not to Work!”

Comments 6 comments

Written By Nancy Campbell I often hear mothers say, “I wish that this [being a stay-at-home mom] was the case for me, but we can’t afford for me to stay home.” Why are these words such a common reply? I think it is because we feel we must take things into our own hands to make it work. We don’t think that God is able! That’s the bottom line. That’s rather challenging, isn’t it? Especially when we read the words…
