My husband and I met during our last semester of college. We were very attracted to each other and had a great time together. We began dating in February 1980 and married that December. I had no relationship with my dad growing up. He worked very hard to provide, but he wasn’t around much. He was an only child, so he didn’t talk much. I never felt close to him. Whenever we asked him if we could do anything, he…
Yesterday, I slept for most of the day. I had a fever and a terrible headache. I felt a bit better by the afternoon, so I watched a movie called “The Magic of the Ordinary Days.” It’s an old movie set during WW2, and I had seen it before but I decided to watch it any ways. A beautiful young woman grew up in a loveless home. She went to USC and studied to be an archeologist. She wanted to…
Do husbands nag their wives? There are three verses in Proverbs about nagging, quarrelsome wives: Proverbs 21:9 – It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house. Proverbs 21:19 – It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman. Proverbs 27:15 – A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike. Proverbs 25:24 – It is better…
“In a family the husband needs the wife to prepare his food; to make, mend, and wash his clothes; to fetch water; and to keep the rooms and furniture in the house clean. The wife needs the husband to till the soil, to build and repair the house, and to earn money to buy the goods they need. God has put into a man’s heart the capacity to love his wife, and into a woman’s heart the capacity to love…
“Hi Lori, Could you tell me how you did sleep training with your children, why you did it that way, and how you kept intimacy alive with your husband when you had young children. You are a blessing. Thanks in advance. Latisha” Hi Latisha, My first baby cried almost every waking moment the first three months of her life. It was exhausting. I needed my sleep desperately. I wonder if a lot of mothers get post-partum depression due to lack…
A woman on YouTube with the handle @behindherfaith recently wrote this on her page: “LADIES IMAGINE THIS: you stop idealizing marriage and start acting like a 23-year-old with her whole life ahead of her. You get an education, you travel the world, and you stop assuming your life starts and ends with a husband.” It sounds like she’s simply reiterating the old, worn-out feminist agenda to me. When young women desire marriage, it’s a natural desire given by God. It’s…
When I teach women how they ought to win their disobedient husbands, there are always cries of “What if…?” It’s as if they think their ways are higher than God’s ways. It’s as if God must have left out some vital information that they must teach women. It’s as if God certainly must not know what he’s taking about. “Oh, I tried that but it didn’t work.” Did they really? Is there a time limit on obedience to God? As…
A month ago, I made a video called “Women are No Longer Marriage Material.” Here’s one comment I received on it: “Because marriage is *&@*…It is a form of property ownership and transfer of another human being from one male to another. It’s dark ages *&@* that has hindered women from reaching their full potential for far too long. No human should own or be subservient to another human.” It’s sad how angry and mean feminism has made women. My…
“Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? Curse God and die. But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? Shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips” (Job 2:9,10), FOOLISH, void of understanding or sound judgment; weak in intellect; unwise, imprudent; proceeding from depravity. God’s Word has a lot to say…
The role for women spelled out in God’s Word is so terribly maligned these days. Our culture is always trying to undermine it. Even most female “Bible” teachers are participating in doing this by twisting Scripture to mean the opposite of what God intended! In the beginning, God made man from the dust of the earth. He made the woman from the man’s rib, because the man was alone and needed a help meet. “It is not good that the…
