Connie Hultquist’s journey of trying to win her husband back while he was in and out of prison is riveting. May her testimony encourage all of you who are married to difficult husbands. She died in 2021. Here is her story in her own words. Jim and I met in 1966. He was 25. I was 18. He was wild and so was I. When we met, he had already been in and out of prison for about seven years…
There are three phrases that we hear often that have caused great harm to marriages. They are “happy wife, happy life,” meet my “emotional needs,” and fulfill my “love language.” They are now all used by women to manipulate their husband into treating them how they want to be treated.

“The American woman of today is not very different from her mother or grandmother. She is equally attached to the classic feminine values – sexual attractiveness, motherly devotion, and the nurturing role in home and community affairs. She is not a great figure in public life or the professions. And like most men, she is repelled by the slogans of old-fashioned feminism.” This was in “Harpers Magazine” in October of 1962. Women of this time were rejecting feminism of the…
By Lisa Vitello “Thus Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, and you have become her children if you do what is right without being frightened by any fear.” 1 Peter 3:6 Haven’t we all read 1 Peter 3 again and again – seeking for the gentle spirit, the restful demeanor, so that we might be “precious in the sight of God?” I know I have for at least the last 20 years of my married life. (I won’t say my…

Mary in “It’s a Wonderful Life” is a perfect example of a godly, submissive wife. When she and George first became attracted to each other, although she liked him when they were children, she never pursued him. She was kind, feminine, and sweet to him. He finally realized that he did love her and want to marry her, but it took some time as he set aside his lofty dreams for a wife and children instead. Once they were married…
Written By Sovereign Brah on Twitter The discussion Matt Walsh and Megan Kelly on the timeline today about traditional gender roles is a perfect barometer for where our culture is at, and the nature of the massive divide between the sexes. The discussion mirrors exactly what we’ve exposed over and over again in our conversations with women on the @whatever podcast: Modern women expect traditional masculinity from men, but frequently become incensed and defensive when traditional femininity is expected from…
Throughout the years, I have received many private messages from women telling me that their husbands aren’t interested in sex. Maybe they’ll want it once or twice a month, but that’s it. I asked the women in the chat room what advice they would give to these women. The only thing I could think of was addiction to porn since I know this messes up the brain. These women had some great advice! “I don’t know that all men not…

Housekeeping Monthly in May of 1955 reportedly published an article on how to be a good wife. It was called, “The Good Wife’s Guide.” Women mock these today, but most marriages would be strong and survive until death to they part IF these were followed. (I will add my commentary on some of them!) 1. Have dinner ready. Plan ahead, even the night before, to have a delicious meal ready, on time for his return. This is a way of…
