My friend, Carol, has been married for over 49 years. When asked what their secret is to keeping such a strong and happy marriage they reply, “God is first, then the spouse, the children, then ministry for her and work for him, then self in this order.” In contrast, many couples today prioritize their marriages as self is first, then work, children, spouse, and then maybe God at Christmas and Easter. According to Goldie Hawn, who has been living with…
“Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives; While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear” (1 Peter 3:1,2). The phrase “chaste conversation coupled with fear” caught my attention the other day. Even if we have godly husbands, we should strive to have “chaste conversation coupled with fear.” What does this mean? I checked out a…
Many men and women tell me that they can’t find a spouse. This seems to becoming more and more prevalent as culture grows more wicked. I just saw a meme yesterday that if revival ever were to come to this nation, there will be many wedding bells ringing! Nowadays, most couples simply live together until they grow tired of each other. But there will always be a remnant who want to live their lives in obedience to Christ. So what…
Written By Michael Davis One question I would ask a woman who’s thinking about divorcing a man simply because they’ve “grown apart” is, “In what way is your life going to be improved by divorce? This is presumably the man who knows you better than any other person on the planet, has accepted you as you are, has raised children with you, has provided for you, has been faithful to you, and has given you a home. So what situation…
Written By Ken Alexander On one of our regular two-mile walks yesterday, we ran into a neighbor who began talking about someone who had ten children from three different wives. Ken exclaimed, “Oh, I have been married for 39 years to three different women too!” The man gently patted me on the shoulder and asked, “How you doing?” Let me tell you about my three wives. My first wife was very cute and feisty and I reveled at the challenge…
The other day, I tweeted this: “She pours so much love and grace upon him that he can’t help loving her. When he’s short with her and may say something cruel to her, she may shed a few tears but she never returns his words with anger or gives the silent treatment, but forgives quickly and pours grace and love upon him.” Oh, and did this offend some women as usual. They can’t stand the idea of being silent in…
God didn’t give men high sex drives so they could watch porn and masturbate, commit fornication with multiple women, or delve into homosexuality and pedophilia. No, God gave men high sex drives so they would want to marry and be fruitful and multiply. Many women will bemoan the fact that there are no good men left because they have all gone astray, therefore, there isn’t anyone for them to marry. The problem stems from feminism. When women stopped being feminine…
One woman told me that she wants to divorce her husband because he wants to vaccinate their children. Let me tell you something, her children would be far better off if they were vaccinated (and I am completely against vaccinations) rather than having their parents divorced and their lives destroyed. Another problem this woman would face is that the father will still be able to vaccinate the children without the mom’s consent because no judge will side with her. When…
“If our attempt to make restitution causes more hurt than help, it can be the selfish therapy of unbelief that makes our actions more important than God’s. When God has forgiven us, the what is crucial has been done. This is especially true in the area of sexual sins where some women feel constrained to confess all when the end result is only further hurt, not healing. God’s forgiveness is enough in instances like these. And if no one else…
Many young women have been taught their entire lives to never depend upon a man. This is what feminism teaches. Women can do fine without men. They are strong, independent, and free. Besides, what about all of the “what ifs…?” that are asked. Women always need a back up plan in case their man disappoints them, leaves, or dies, right? “As they say, the road to hell is paved with good intentions. It’s because boomer parents told their daughters to…
