Wives Giving Sex to Their Adulterous Husbands

Wives Giving Sex to Their Adulterous Husbands

Should women give their husbands, who are having an affair, sexual intimacy in hopes of winning them back? I’ve been pondering this lately since making my video about this. Some say no way! Not until they repent and are checked for STDs, but there are some women who did give their husbands sex in hopes of winning them back. One even got an STD and didn’t win him back. Are we promised no scars in the battle? Was it worth…

He’s Having an Affair. Now What?

He’s Having an Affair. Now What?

Recently, more than a few women have written to me telling me their husband is having an affair, i.e. committing adultery. Some of these women have as many as five young children. They are devastated and heartbroken. Instead of writing a post about this, I made a video since I thought it would be better for me to say these things to you “in person” than on paper. I pray this will encourage you and give you wisdom. He’s Having…

Written By My 21 Year Old Forlorn Love Sick Self

My sister texted me some letters I had written to my mom in January of my senior year at Westmont College in 1980. She kept all of our letters! Yes, there was only snail mail back then. There were no computers, Internet, or iPhones. I will put some updated thoughts in parenthesis in this letter, but it’s funny to look back and see what my young self was feeling at this stage in life. I met my husband the next…

Bad Thoughts Destroy Marriages

Bad Thoughts Destroy Marriages

All of the women in my family had our “Happy Hour” where we eat, ask questions about our marriages to strengthen each other, and laugh a lot. A few years ago, a woman came to share her testimony with us. She was married to Craig. He was tall, dark and handsome. He worked hard to provide for their family. They had three daughters together. He would come home late each day after working hard and instead of eating with the…

Enslaved to Sin and Selfishness Apart From Christ

Enslaved to Sin and Selfishness Apart From Christ

Hi Lori! My name is Susan. I am 27 and married with three babies. I am just writing to thank you for your writing – first for your book, and also for your blog and twitter posts (which I see on Pinterest). I read your book and Debi Pearl’s books on marriage probably about a year ago. They greatly convicted me, stirred my heart, and helped me to begin many changes in my life, marriage, and in raising my children….

Answering All of the Exceptions

Answering All of the Exceptions

Whenever I write about almost anything, especially women being keepers at home and submitting to their husbands in everything, I undoubtedly receive a ton of questions concerning the exceptions; all of the “what ifs.” I have been pondering this a lot recently and there is no perfect answer for every exception. Each situation and circumstance is unique. This is why the godly, older women need to step up and be available to the women with the exceptions to guide them…

Women Divorcing Over Me Time

Women Divorcing Over Me Time

Up to 80 percent of divorces are initiated by women. The main reason is because these women want “me time.” They’re tired of sacrificially giving their lives to their families. It’s time for them to find “fulfillment” and experience life to its fullest, so they leave and destroy their children’s lives. Many of them have husbands who work hard to provide for them. Their husbands are faithful to them and love their children, but this just isn’t enough. There’s more…

The Ugliness of Divorce

The Ugliness of Divorce

Written By Pastor Matthew  Trewhella Divorce is an ugly thing. It mires the mind of a child. It leaves him ill­ prepared and at a distinct disadvantage with his peers for the life that lies ahead of him or her. It removes all innocence. What order his life once had is left strewn on the floor. The most foundational part of his life which gives cohesiveness to his existence is gone. Life no longer has the promise it once did….

Are You Living in a Cult?

Are You Living in a Cult?

Many are accusing the Duggars of living in a cult. I have a pamphlet that was published by Moody Publishers. It is called “Comparing Christianity with the Cults.” The cults they name are Christian Science, Spiritualism, Jehovah’s Witness, Scientology, Mormonism, Eastern Mystic Religions, Unification Church, Unity, and Wicca. I couldn’t find Gothard being a cult in this pamphlet or meeting the requirements needed to be labeled a cult. There are many families outside of following Gothard who homeschool their children,…

Husbands are Not Commanded to Meet Their Wives’ Emotional Needs

Husbands are Not Commanded to Meet Their Wives’ Emotional Needs

The Bible tells us that husbands are to love their wives as Christ loves the Church. They are to provide for and protect their wives. They are to not withhold sexual intimacy from them. They are to treat them as the weaker vessel. However, the Bible doesn’t say that husbands must meet their wives’ emotional needs and love their wives with the “love language” their wives demand. This is extra-biblical nonsense that is destroying marriages. I received an email recently…
