“Research shows men and women have affairs for different reasons. For men, it’s almost always a result of a sexless marriage. For women, it’s a result of emotional deprivation: the husband is too wrapped up in his job or his hobbies or whatever else to give his wife the time and attention she needs. That’s a great example of how the research shows men and women have affairs for different reasons. Many wives are all too happy to go years…
“Hi Lori – this is my first time visiting your blog. It is very interesting. I am wondering what you think about women who choose to live chaste lives in service to God (e.g. nuns). According to the person you quoted above, the ability to have children is what makes women special. I wonder then, is the work of a nun of any value? Is she also special? Is she still considered a woman even though she doesn’t procreate? Thank…
As many of you know, Debi Pearl’s book “Created to Be His Help Meet” is the book that began the transformation of my marriage. I read it with eagerness and was thoroughly convicted throughout the book. I was so convicted that I bought cases of the book to hand out to every woman that I knew. I mentored groups of women and individual women with this book for many years. Yes, I have heard all of the arguments against it,…
There’s much controversy over whether or not masturbation is wrong. My question to you is: can you glorify God while masturbating, since we are told to glorify the Lord in all that we do? Can you masturbate and not have sexual images dancing in your mind? I doubt you can do either. Can you masturbate without lusting, since lusting is sin? Do you want to live for the Lord completely, be set apart, and be holy while walking in the…
Recently, a woman wrote the following comment on my Facebook page. I read it to my husband, Ken, and he immediately began telling me how I should respond. He had a lot to say so I asked him to make a blog post about it so he did. “Is there a reason you only have four children, transformed wife? If I’m correct based on what I’ve believed to have seen on your page, you only have four, right? If there…
John MacArthur went against the ungodly mandate that churches weren’t allowed to meet in California yet riots, protests, liquor stores, and abortion clinics were allowed. He spoke about this last Sunday. I listened to his sermon. It was excellent. I will share some of the points that stood out to me. He began his sermon by explaining unbelievers: dead in trespasses and sin, live in futility of mind, love darkness and hate the light, hostile to God, preaching of cross…
John MacArthur issued a statement about the government forbidding churches to meet: “Grace Community Church has always stood immovably on those biblical principles. As His people, we are subject to His will and commands as revealed in Scripture. Therefore, we cannot and will not acquiesce to a government-imposed moratorium on our weekly congregational worship or other regular corporate gatherings. Compliance would be disobedience to our Lord’s clear commands.” When almost everything was closed down, he agreed with the government mandate…
In the beginning, God put man (Adam) “into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it” (Genesis 2:15). His work was to be in the garden. Then God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him” (Genesis 2:18). Then we are told, “Therefore shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh” ( Genesis…
Many women will tell me that they don’t want children; even Christian women will tell me this. They act like this is a choice they can make even though they are married. Children are seen as something they simply don’t desire, and they seem fine with this decision. Women who say they don’t want children have given in to the anti-child feminist mindset of our day, which has led to the slaughtering of millions of unborn babies. Children should be…
“Directing your husband’s traffic undermines this goal by setting up a mother/son relationship rather than a husband/wife relationship. That’s why the sex wanes. What kind of man wants to have sex with his mother? So, what does it mean exactly to not direct your husband’s traffic? It means not making any comments ever about what you think your husband should be doing or how you think something should or shouldn’t be done. If you find this difficult to do, keep…
