The Transformed Wife

ADVICE ON MARRIAGE TO YOUNG LADIES Do not marry at all. But if you must avoid the Beauty Men, Flirts, and the Bounders, Tailor’s Dummies, and the Football Enthusiasts. Look for a Strong, Tame Man, a Fire-lighter, Coal-getting, Window Cleaner, and Yard Swiller. Don’t except too much, most men are lazy, selfish, thoughtless, lying, drunken, clumsy, heavy-footer, rough, unmanly brutes, and need taming. All Bachelors are, and many are worse still. If you want him to be happy, Feed the…

Shared By Lindsay Harold on her Facebook page Here’s a rather humorous and helpful list of tips for wives from the 1970’s, published in the Dear Abby column. This was mainstream advice back in the day but utterly taboo today. I only came across them because I saw someone, with a rather large internet following and a ministry specifically geared toward Christian married women, saying some of these made her nauseous. That makes no sense as these are very sensible…

Every institution on this planet has a leader, a boss. Marriage is no different. Two heads create a monster. A husband is head of his wife, and the wife is commanded to live in submission to her husband. It’s God’s perfectly ordained order for marriage, but many rebel against this. They use Ephesians 5:21 to say a husband is commanded to submit to his wife. This isn’t biblical. I will take you through the Bible in order to prove to…

I wrote a post called Should Husbands Ever Discipline Their Wives and asked the women on Facebook what they thought about Sunshine Mary’s post.

Last fall, in Nip disrespect in the bud before it blooms into a flower of rebellion, I told the story…

Written By Vivian Maddox in response to someone who fully supports egalitarianism in marriage by quoting Ephesians 5:21: “Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.” The way that people mishandle the text in the fifth chapter of Ephesians is unfortunate. They take verse 21 out of context and use it to nullify verse 22: “Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.” Verse 21 is addressed to the same “one another” as is verse…

Pastor Voddie Baucham preached a sermon called “What’s More Important Than A Wedding.” I took some notes and then will add my thoughts. Young women want to be brides but not wives and mothers. They want a wedding but not a marriage. What happened? It happened over a half century ago and is perfectly portrayed in Snow White (1937 which was post Depression era) and Cinderella (1950 which was post WW2 era). Let’s look at the comparison between the two….

It was December 1979 when a suitemate of mine introduced me to her brother. Her brother and I walked slowly down to our dorms. We chatted comfortably. When we arrived at the front of our dorms, we chatted some more. I didn’t think he was that handsome at the time. He wore a rust colored sweat suit, his hair parted in the middle, and big horn-rimmed glasses but he was tall, intelligent, and made me laugh. We talked easily. It…
