The Transformed Wife

An Instagram page called “Raising Teens Today” shared a quote by Komal Shahid: “Make your daughter so capable that you don’t have to worry about who will marry her. Instead of saving money for her wedding day, spend it well on her education. Instead of preparing her for marriage, prepare her for herself. Teach her self-love and confidence.” It had almost 13,000 likes. “Make your daughter so capable that you don’t have to worry about who will marry her.” God…

This article was written by Debi Pearl in her magazine No Greater Joy. Many years ago Alexander Scourby made an audio recording of the entire King James Bible and it remains the standard to this day. He has great diction and a storytelling tone that make his recording so captivating. It is like listening to a really good novel.

Now, that’s a huge burden I carry with me and have to fight hard to work through. I don’t think…

“The decision to have children has always struck me as an essentially selfish one: You choose, out of a desire for fulfillment or self-betterment or curiosity or boredom or baby-mania or peer pressure, to bring a new human into this world. And it has never seemed more selfish than today. From a global perspective, having a child in a developed nation is among the most environmentally unsound decisions you can make – a baby born in the United States adds…
