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 since 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…
Posted by Joseph Spurgeon on Facebook Westminster Divine Daniel Cawdrey on a Woman’s Subjection to Her Husband (He wouldn’t be well received by reformed people today): Question. What is the main duty of the wife? Answer. Subjection or submission to her husband (Genesis 3: 16). Question. What does this subjection consist of? Answer. In these two things: an acknowledgment of his superiority over her. In her respect to him, as her superior. Question. How does it appear that her husband…
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…
A few months ago, I decided to have all of the articles from New Harvest Homestead written by Lisa Vitello typed out for me so I could make posts from them. Lisa wrote these in the early to mid 2000s and they’re full of gems of wisdom. I decided to put together one this morning and she titled it “Titus 2 Wisdom: Loving Our Husbands” which is ironic since I just posted my video “Learning to Love Our Husbands” for…
This is an email a woman wrote to me. She gave me permission to share it. I follow your main page The Transformed Wife. I saw your post teaching women how to handle it when their husbands are committing adultery. My husband committed adultery last year with a girl ten years younger than us. I believe it happened because I was quarrelsome, and I wasn’t letting my husband lead. I believe I did play a part and drove him away…
The other night, I listened to a sermon by Voddie Baucham called The Sufficiency of Scripture in the Disciple-Making Ministry of the Church and the Home. I encourage you to all go listen to it! He affirms what I teach concerning what women should be teaching other women. Older women are commanded to teach younger women. What are they commanded to teach them, so the young women don’t blaspheme God’s Word? “That they may teach the young women theology, Bible,…
