The Transformed Wife

Throughout my many years of mentoring women, I have never once mentored a woman in a difficult marriage to manufacture feelings of love towards her husband. In fact, I have never taught that feelings have anything to do with love. When I teach women to love their husbands, as I am commanded in Titus 2:4, I teach them to begin submitting to their husbands, learning what pleases them, serving them, being kind and affectionate towards them, kicking critical thoughts about…

Our culture mocks marriage. The Church hasn’t helped any in upholding the sanctity of marriage. In a large church near us, the couple who ran the premarital counseling for over 35 years, told us that when they began this ministry, none of the young couples in the church that they mentored were fornicating (living) together. Now, almost all of them are. The few who aren’t are a breath of fresh air. Living together is nothing like marriage. It’s not “test…

From the beginning when God was creating the world, He said that it was not good for man to be alone, so He would create a help meet for him (Genesis 2:18). In Proverbs 18:22, we are told, “Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD.” In Proverbs 5:18, young men are admonished, “Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth.” Then men are told this: “House and riches…

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…
