This was a comment from a man on one of my recent posts. “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). Notice the words ‘without the Word’. If your previous post highlights the negative, this verse speaks to the positive. If I read this correctly,…
“Good day, Lori. I must say that I have been blessed by your blog and YouTube videos. Yes, I’m one of your subscribers. I have been pondering and worrying in my heart over these messages that you teach. I have so many questions so I would be glad if you could help me answer them?” “Why was the woman created?” Eve was created by God because “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him…
“The age at which one first gets married has risen by six years since 1960, and now only 20 percent of Americans get married before the age of 30. The number of new marriages each year is declining at a slow but steady rate. … Fifteen times the number of couples today live together outside of marriage than in 1960. Almost every expert points in part to the women’s liberation movement of the late 1960s and ’70s. As more women…
What is marriage? This is disputed by many. Is it simply a piece of paper? I believe marriage is a commitment for life. It’s becoming one flesh with another human being. The man leaves his father and mother and clings to his wife. They have children together if they’re able. Living together is not a commitment for life. It’s living together until “we no longer are in love.” It’s fornication which is forbidden by God. “Marriage is honourable in all,…
Steve Harvey shared a clip about a woman asking Steve about her boyfriend having a beard. One of first things out of her mouth was, “I think my happiness should be his priority.” I believe that many women go into marriage with this same mindset. I sure did! I thought my husband’s priority should be to make me happy and when I quickly found out that this was not true, I was angry and continually frustrated with him. This is…
Written by Celina Eve When asked by a new wife what your advice is to her, what do you say? These are the ones that come to mind after 22 yrs of marriage. What would you add? 1. Never say no to sex. It’s the glue that will bond you together through thick and thin. Even on the days where you’re not into it, put your husband’s needs above your own. You’ll be glad you did in the long run….
“Hey Lori! Love your posts! Could you make one about wedding cancellations in light of COVID? I’m supposed to be getting married in nine weeks and we are unsure about whether to cancel or not. (Our state has even stopped allowing people to get marriage licenses.) As a couple who have remained pure for our wedding, we are obviously super against having to postpone/wait any longer. Also, we want to start having children! I know a lot of young women…
Single women ask me where all of the “good guys” have gone and why it’s so hard for them to find a man who is marriage material. One woman even called it the “plague” of being single and NOT by choice. Is it a plague these days? It is certainly true that marriage rates have plunged to the lowest level on record, divorce is more common, and living with one’s boyfriend/girlfriend is the norm. We are even told that in…
A woman wrote about divorcing her husband. This was the message she gave publicly: “With great sadness, after 10 years together, we have come to a loving conclusion to get a divorce. We have nothing but love and respect for one another and are deeply grateful for the years shared, memories made, and the children we are so proud of. This is just the situation of two people growing apart. We ask everyone to respect our privacy as we navigate…
People accuse me of making an idol of virginity especially since my viral post. I am considered some type of nut case by unbelievers or a far-right legalistic by many Christians. They claim I didn’t consider the widows, the sexually abused, or those who were promiscuous in their past. They fail to realize that God commands older women to teach young women to be “chaste” (Titus 2:3-5), so this is what I do. I believe all of God’s ways are…
