The Transformed Wife

Years ago, I loved watching Ina Garten cook as the “Barefoot Contessa” on Food Network. She was so warm and friendly. Her food always looked delicious. I loved the way she treated her husband, Jeffrey. She seemed to love serving him and making him happy. I just watched an interview with her recently. She had a rough childhood. Her mother was cold and never showed her any love. Her father was strict, and she could never gain his approval. That…

Before bed, I listen to a sermon. Last night, I listened to Pastor James Know preach on fornication. (They were having trouble with the microphone, so some of it is not too clear, but most of it is!) It’s an excellent sermon. He taught that when the lists of sin are given in the New Testament, fornication is always the first one listed, and it’s the only sin that God commands us to flee from. Why? Because it is a…

A woman in my Facebook group shared that a friend of hers had caught porn on her husband’s phone, but he denies it. She asked what her friend should do. Here’s how a wise woman in the group responded: I’d first start with what the Bible states: 1 Corinthians 13:7 – Love bears all things, BELIEVES all things, hopes all things, endures all things In my opinion, believing all things means to believe your husband until proven 100 percent guilty….

Written by Debi Pearl A wise woman doesn’t take anything for granted. She is thankful to be loved and seeks to make herself more lovely. A wise woman doesn’t allow herself to be a liability but strives to be an asset to the marriage bond. She looks for ways to make, save, and use money wisely. Her husband knows he is a richer man because she is his wife. A wise woman seeks to be a part of her husband’s…

A young woman asked me to write a post about single moms living for God and whether they can be remarried. First of all, it depends on why she is single. Did her husband die? If so, these are God’s instructions to her: “I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully” (1 Timothy 5:14). Here are her instructions if, for some reason, she left her husband:…

Recently, I shared a post on social media about Debi Pearl and her angry dad. He worked hard to support the family, but would flare up in anger and even cuss at her mother and children at times. Yet, Debi’s mother remained cheerful and kind. She eventually won him over with her godly behavior. He never became perfect (imagine that!), but he was a far better man due to Debi’s faithful mother. Some felt her mother should have gone to…

Saint John Chrysostom (c. 347–407 AD) was a prominent early Church Father, Archbishop of Constantinople, and one of the greatest preachers in Christian history. An appreciation of the mutual need that man and wife have for each other can serve to resolve and strengthen love and harmony between spouses. “God divided the activities of our lives into two areas, public and domestic. Wives were entrusted with the household, and men were given civic duties, in commerce, in the courts, in…

Written by William Gouge V @William_Gouge_X on X in response to a video Lila Rose made. I never thought I’d ever agree or repost a Lila Rose clip, but here we are. My thoughts: First, this guy knocks it out of the park (watch the video). Christianity needs to get back to the biblical model of courting and the traditional Christian (and biblical) household codes. Ninety-nine percent of postmodern Christians have zero understanding of biblical marriage, or its intended purpose…

A woman responded to this post I shared on my Facebook this way: “This is so wrong and not from God! He says it is better not to marry if you don’t need to (or want to). It is better to focus on following Jesus and serving others. It is not wrong to want or need to marry, but it is better if you don’t.” Timothy Allen responded to her: What you’ve just done is twist the word of God…
