Divorce is Like A Horrific Car Accident

by Gary Smalley and John Trent Largely unused in marriages, homes, friendships, and businesses is a tool called emotional word pictures that can supercharge communication and change lives.

Sweating Bullets While Teaching Submission

Sweating Bullets While Teaching Submission

If you read other biblical marriage blogs, you will see that most of them have warnings all over them about abuse and what submission doesn’t mean. If you notice, my blog doesn’t have this. I have written many posts about submission and never even mentioned the word abuse on most of them. I do this purposefully because abuse and submission don’t go together as many today try to do by twisting and perverting the beauty of submission. (Yes, I have…

Help Your Husband Be Chaste

Help Your Husband Be Chaste

This post was written by two men who commented on my post Women Withholding Sex From Their Husbands. I believe it’s good to hear how some men struggle who are married to women who routinely deny them sexual intimacy. Please, don’t be one of these wives. Being a man I will just say that I think this article is very well written AND I will add one big Caveat (especially for women like Brittany who are struggling with a husband…

Marriage Keeps Families From Poverty

Marriage Keeps Families From Poverty

The joke is on feminism. We’ve been brainwashed to believe that women NEED higher education even if it means going deeply into debt. They NEED careers for all of the “what ifs…?” So now that many women have received higher education and careers, how is the state of our country? Is there far less poverty due to feminism’s influence upon women? NO! Everything feminism has taught is a big, fat lie! In an article written by Glenn Stanton in The…

Wives Submit…as it is Fit in the Lord

Wives Submit…as it is Fit in the Lord

In Colossians 3, Paul is clearly explaining to us how we should live our lives as believers in Jesus Christ. This is a wonderful chapter and worthy of study. He encourages us to seek those things above, get rid of all sin in our lives, be loving and kind to others, and let the Word of Christ dwell in us richly.

Our Obedience Never Depends on His Obedience

Our Obedience Never Depends on His Obedience

There is a false and destructive teaching about submission that is prevalent in our day and age as this one woman stated:“Women do not want to submit because they don’t feel safe and they don’t feel that they can depend on the man. If men want women to submit, they need to make her feel safe (physically and emotionally) and they also need to be dependable in areas such as family income and finances. When these happen, a woman will…

He Hearkened to the Voice of His Wife

There are two very famous men who hearkened to the voice of their wives and caused much devastation as a result. The first man was Adam who listened to his wife and ate of the forbidden fruit. When God found Adam, He said to him, “Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree…” (Genesis 3:17) and then God gave the consequences of listening to his wife. Thus, the world was cast into…
