“When I was 14, my mom said I should NOT wait until marriage to have sex – I didn’t even need to wait for love. Her advice was to only have sex with people who respected me. I don’t have a punchline. I just think if more moms said this to their daughters, life would be easier.” This was written by Amy Silverberg on Twitter. This tweet had almost 497,000 likes and 63, 000 retweets. One person responded: “I’m VERY…
Have you ever noticed that it doesn’t matter how beautifully decorated a home is, how large it is, how many modern appliances it has, or how much money is spent on it if it is a messy home? These things are not what make a home beautiful. It is a clean home that makes it pretty. “Disorder is actually defined as a breach of peace…bringing order to any home would also bring peace. Simplicity is key to creating order in…
Many today believe that God speaks to them personally. I have had women tell me that God told them to get a job and put their children into preschool. Others have told me that God told them to divorce their husbands. God never would speak to anyone something that is contrary to His Word. Many popular speakers and teachers tell about what God said personally to them. Does God speak to us individually? “Long ago, at many times and in…
In kindergarten, I remember finger painting and playing outside a lot. We would sit on the rug and listen to the teacher read us stories but it was mostly games and fun. Compare this with most preschools and kindergartens today that push academics on very young children. This is about the worse thing you can do for them. They were created to run, play, and create as young children, not be stuck in a chair all day and using fine…
This post is a comment from my post called Where Have All the Good Men Gone? I stumbled upon this blog while doing some research on feminine qualities. Before I address the topic at hand please allow me to comment upon how stunned I am to see such graciousness and civility extended in these comments towards each other, especially given what a acidic topic this is today. Such carefully thought out ideas and replies in this day and age is…
Steve Harvey shared a clip about a woman asking Steve about her boyfriend having a beard. One of the first things out of her mouth was, “I think my happiness should be his priority.” I believe that many women go into marriage with this same mindset. I sure did! I thought my husband’s priority should be to make me happy, and when I quickly found out that this was not true, I was angry and continually frustrated with him. This…
According to The Federalist’s article, “Significantly more Americans ages 13 to 22 say it’s important to buy a home and make ‘a lot of money’ than to marry, have children, and commit to a faith, according to a new late-April survey of 1,600 randomly chosen participants.” How is it going for these women who made the decision to pursue higher education and careers instead of families during this lockdown? Are they enjoying their fancy apartment or house and expensive car,…
Written by Celina Eve When asked by a new wife what your advice is to her, what do you say? These are the ones that come to mind after 22 yrs of marriage. What would you add? 1. Never say no to sex. It’s the glue that will bond you together through thick and thin. Even on the days where you’re not into it, put your husband’s needs above your own. You’ll be glad you did in the long run….
“Lori, could you please write a post for women who have been sexually abused as children? How to cope and/or heal from it? Are they still considered virgins? I love your page and appreciate your biblical teachings. God bless you!” It’s a sad thing that I have to even write about this but it is way too common, especially as our culture becomes more and more sexually depraved. Recently, I have been finding out more and more about the human…
“It’s been five weeks since lockdown began but editors of academic journals have already started noticing a strange phenomenon: women seem to be submitting fewer papers than usual while men are submitting more. According to the American writer Caroline Kitchener, some female academics say they are struggling to balance full-on childcare and home schooling with work, while their male counterparts are viewing quarantine as a chance to focus on their writing projects…The coronavirus may be more deadly for men but…
