***Rules for the Wife at Home*** 1. Overlook husband’s faults and instead focus on his better side. 2. Never nag or try to manipulate your husband into doing things your way. 3. Trust God and trust your husband. Pray for him daily. 4. God first, husband second, children third, house fourth. 5. Submit to your husband’s authority and allow errors in his judgment. 6. Allow him to provide for the family and appreciate the money he brings in and the…
For the past few days, I have been reading “Being Elisabeth Elliott” by Ellen Vaughn, and it’s heartbreaking. Elisabeth married her third husband, Lars, when she was 50 years old and knew right after marrying him, that she had made a mistake. He became extremely controlling and angry, even keeping her from her daughter and eight grandchildren. The family did an intervention to help her but after a few days, she said she wanted to go back to her husband…
Written By Moonlight_Myth on X I lost my husband because of pride. At 2:50 a.m., he tapped me for help and I pushed his hand away. I didn’t know that was the last time he would ever touch me. My husband and I had a small argument one Tuesday morning while getting ready for work. He complained about the way I sliced the bread said it looked messy and “unpresentable.” His words hit me like a slap in the room….
Written By @RRROBYN on X I can tell you as a person with divorced parents, it just never gets easier either. The way it’s hard just changes. It used to be that there was always the feeling that something was missing on every birthday, Christmas, and life milestone. The sadness permeated my childhood and adolescence, not because I hated my parents for divorcing, but because I loved them so much. I still do. Wondering who I might be, how I…
My best friend was raised in a feminist family. Her mom and her aunts were all feminists and career women. The summer before her junior year in high school, she went to a Christian summer camp and believed in Jesus Christ. But then, she went back to her high school where Mormonism, Buddha, and other false religions were mixed in with Jesus. She decided to go to Westmont College since it was close to home. It’s a small Christian college…
Written by Pastor A. Gene Robinson I watched a woman break down in regret, and it cut deep. Years ago, a Christian man proposed to her. He told her she didn’t have to grind herself into the ground. She could build a home. Raise children. Be covered. Be protected. Be cherished. She was offended. Feminism told her that offer was an insult… that dependence was weakness… that partnership was oppression. She chose the lie. Years later, the tears came. Not…
No one taught me as a child to save my first kiss for marriage. Kissing guys before marriage has become normalized. I was taught to save sex for marriage, thankfully. Women, you must teach your children all of the Lord’s ways or culture will teach them culture’s depraved ways. God tells us in His Word: “Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let…
We had Christmas Day dinner at my oldest daughter’s home. After dinner, my husband told everyone that he wanted to play his favorite song. I knew it would be “Masterpiece” by the Gaithers. He loves that song!!! My grandson and granddaughter had climbed onto my lap. When he began the song, I told him that this wasn’t Masterpiece. Then, I head the words “Westmont College” and “Santa Barbara” then “Lori Anne.” What??? What was this? Well, my husband had written…
Written By Kelly Jean-Music Cook on Facebook I had an older lady at church give me this advice. “Honey, men are natural leaders and providers. They are aggressive because they have to be. They go to war to keep us safe. They work in dangerous jobs to provide for us women, and God designed them that way. Men don’t like criticism from their women.” She said, “Trust in God and pray about it. You stand beside him, help him anyway…
David Edgington wrote a book titled “White Knights and Reviling Wives” and asked me to give a review of it. So, I read it, and it only took me a few days! It is easy to read and very informative. Since I have been mentoring women for over 22 years, I have encountered reviling wives. My husband has mentored many men with reviling wives. It’s absolutely devastating for the men married to them. It would be better for them to…
