There are two types of women described throughout the book of Proverbs. One is a godly woman, and one is a foolish woman. I read through the entire book and noted all of the references made specifically to women, excluding Proverbs 31. First, I will give you the verses of foolish women to make sure none of these describe any of us! “It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman” (Proverbs 21:19)….
Women are filing 80 percent of divorces! This should not be. Many today have conveniently forgotten the vow they made to God and all of the witnesses that were at their wedding. The vow that they would remain married to their husbands until death do they part, through good times and bad. More people are covenant breakers (Romans 1:31) instead of covenant keepers, which is tragic on many levels. Women in past generations needed their husbands as their providers and…
Most couples have had arguments about their roles in marriage. Most wives want their husbands to help with the home and children. Some husbands want their wives to make money and contribute financially to the home. This usually causes a lot of conflict, especially for women who want to have careers and aren’t interested in being full-time mothers or homemakers, and husbands who see dollar signs instead of the value of having a mother at home full-time with their children….
The word “Patriarchy” has very bad connotations these days. The word simply means “the male head of a family or tribe,” but feminists have fought hard to get rid of Patriarchy because of the “cruelness” and “unfairness” of it. I asked the women in the chat room this question: “Can you all share with me the pain and misery you are suffering under Patriarchy? I need to make a blog post about this to warn women of God’s ways.” Verna:…
God’s will for us is to only have sex within the bonds of marriage. My Mom taught us to wait for sex until we were married and I’m glad she did. I knew sex outside of marriage was wrong and would only give myself to the man who put a ring on my finger and vowed until death do us part. We taught our children the same thing. It’s safe boundaries for them. Children need and want boundaries, especially in…
A woman wrote the following comment to me trying to explain why she divorced her husband and why feminism is so badly needed. “Let me say this though, I was married for 14 years and it ended in divorce in 2015. While we were married, he believed that all he had to do was provide and then his ‘obligations’ as a man were covered. Always obligations never with gratitude or recognition of his blessings. It seems to me a lot…
“My mom gained 90 lbs after marrying my dad. My wife gained 40 lbs the first year of our marriage. Some women chop their hair in half the first year of getting married. Some women want $80K vehicles every several years and $1 million houses ($2 millionafter interest and another million after property taxes over 30 yrs). “American women are bossier than other countries, more expensive, more overweight, more likely to file for divorce and leave husbands broke or require…
Whenever I write about submission, women tend to come up with all of the exceptions, mostly, “What if he asks you to sin?” One woman wrote, “I almost agree with this article, but find it strange that she doesn’t make a simple disclaimer that we are not to submit to our husbands if they are asking us to sin or break the law. We are first and foremost subject to Christ. I agree that 99.9% of the time, there is…
One of the reasons we are given that women are not to teach nor be in authority over men is that Eve was deceived. So does this just mean that Eve was deceived but it doesn’t mean that all women are more easily deceived as this one author wrote? Got Questions is a very reliable source for most biblical questions. They answered a questionconcerning women pastors/preachers.I agreed almost 100% with their answer except for this paragraph: “The fact that Eve…
For years I tried to tell my husband how to eat healthier and all it did was drive a deep wedge into our marriage. Trying to control others, especially our husbands, is a terrible way to live. It is counterproductive to a good marriage. We are called to be their help meet and to submit to them in everything, NOT try to control or change them. This is the Lord’s job. I have been following ayoung woman on Facebook. She…
