Nancy Campbell wrote an encouraging post on her Facebook page about wives smiling at their husbands. “Recently I read about a wife whose husband was unkind to her and didn’t want to spent time with her, choosing to spend all his evenings in other company. She went to a counselor. He didn’t spend hours counseling her, but instead gave her one simple message, ‘Always treat your husband with a smile.’ She began to put it into practice. A few months…
The road that we walk as believers is narrow, and it’s not easy. Everyone goes through trials and sufferings, but as believers in Christ Jesus, we don’t run from them and try to numb ourselves as those on the broad path are prone to do. Debi Pearl added a great chapter to her book Created to Be His Help Meet for women who are married to very difficult and angry men. I want to post a few meaningful paragraphs from…
Some people believe that if a woman has been divorced and then married another man, she is living in continual adultery and needs to divorce her second husband and try to be reconciled to her first husband or remain single for the rest of her life. Because I don’t agree with this, I have been accused of supporting divorce and remarriage, so I want to set the record straight. I hate divorce as God hates it, and I do everything…
One woman’s husband read a post about submission that she had written and responded to her this way: “I think the word submit is outdated; respect is a much better alternative.” A very wise woman responded: “Here’s the thing, ladies (and this is coming from someone who is NOT in a Christian marriage, and has lived a life of submission for the past ten years of our 22-year marriage. I’m 51), we can’t pick and choose and substitute words in…
There are two posts I recently read that were powerful explanations about the trauma of divorce and ways to prevent it from happening in the first place. I want to share these two posts with you and some of the quotes that I found convicting and challenging. HARDNESS OF HEART IS THE ROOT OF ALL FAILED MARRIAGES. I have always believed this, especially since Jesus is the one who said it. Divorce wasn’t ordained by God and is never promoted…
What do husbands who have wives who have become submissive wives think about their wives now? Do they like the “new” wife or do they miss the old one? A woman asked this question on my Facebook page, so I decided to ask the women in the chat room to ask their husbands. My husband answered the woman on Facebook: “I can tell you that my marriage has been revolutionized since Lori has chosen to be a submissive wife. No…
One woman’s husband works a lot and is away from home. They have many children, a big garden, and a big home. She struggles with her marriage and disciplining and training her children. She is unhappy with her lot in life. Happy Homemaker had some very wise counsel for her. Here are her words: Stop with all the negative thinking and grow a backbone with those kids. Remember, you fell in love with the man for a reason, so think…
This marriage testimony was given in the chat room from a woman who wishes to remain anonymous. I want to take a moment and share an experience with you ladies who have husbands who are not only disobedient to the Word, but in direct contrast with it. I was sorting through years of paperwork this morning and I found some very old receipts and statements. I found my husband’s ambulance bill from when he crashed his car into a house…
Rush Limbaugh received a telephone call yesterday from a woman named Angela. She’s a Christian who has been married for 27 years and is a wise woman! They were discussing a new policy that has been instituted at Princeton. If you don’t believe that universities are poisoning our culture (as Dennis Prager consistently states on his radio program), you sure will now. RUSH: “Princeton – they’re setting up a person to guard against and advise against and to rehabilitate men…
Many women who want to be home full-time with their children have a problem with their husbands wanting the same things. Most of these husbands had mothers who weren’t home full-time to nurture and give them emotional support; therefore, they don’t understand what they missed, but it does affect them deeply. They usually have a hard time being emotionally close to their wives because of the lack of motherly care and affection. Dr. Brenda Hunter in Home By Choice explains…
