Written By Richard Steele (1672-1729) This is the wife’s special qualification. If she has all beauty and learning but no respect for her husband, she is not a good wife. Creation suggests it. She was made after the man (1 Tim. 2:13), from the man (1 Cor. 11:8), and for the man (1 Cor. 11:9). This order was not by man’s doing, but God’s. Even after the fall the divine order stands: “He shall rule over thee” (Gen. 3:16). The…
Women have often asked me about oral and anal sex. Most young women now shave their pubic hair. Some are into violent acts in the bedroom. Pornography has invaded the marriage bed. God commands that we keep the marriage bed undefiled. I love what Reverend Richard Steele wrote about this topic in the early 1700s. “Maintaining Regular but Moderate Marital Sex. ‘Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge’ (Heb. 13:4). Marital…
What does submission look like? Very few of us have had godly role models to show us. Laine wrote a letter giving her readers concrete examples of what submission looks like. May you be blessed by her wisdom! Before I begin sharing concrete examples, however, I must explain that my heart changed toward my husband when I began to fall in love with Jesus all over again. When I began to thirst for His Word and time alone with Him…
Once in awhile, I will receive an email from Evie Magazine. It has some interesting articles from an unbiblical perspective. Consider this article called “How You Can Have Higher Value in the Sexual Marketplace.” “Many women find themselves getting ghosted right after sex. One woman shared her experience: ‘Of course, some men ghost after sex even if you withhold it for weeks. I once dated a guy I waited two months to sleep with. In that time, he took me…
In an article by New York Post called Millennial men want 1950s housewives after they have kids, the author Jennifer Wright wrote: “Even in normal times, women spend approximately two hours more per day tending to domestic work than their partners. A 2013 research paper by economics professors Francine D. Blau and Lawrence M. Kahn claimed that ‘modern men do not adjust the amount of time they dedicate to housework based on their wives’ employment status.’ “‘Professional working mothers who…
Pastor John Street preached a sermon called The Emotionally Abusive Marriage in July 2020 at Grace Community Church. He wants Christians to look at difficult things like this through a biblical perspective rather than a psychological one. How much we love God and how much we love others determines everything else about our spiritual walk. You many not agree with everything he has taught in this sermon, and he admits to not covering everything that can happen in emotional abuse,…
There are many false teachers these days. Many of these are women who claim to be Christians. They throw out Paul’s words since they hate the verses about wives submitting to their husbands in everything (Ephesians 5:24) and even being commanded to obey their husbands (1 Peter 3:6). Do they not know that God’s ways and His commands are for women’s good and their protection? These same verses were written by Paul: “Husbands, love your wives and be not bitter…
Written By Joel Webbon at Right Response Ministries Is Complementarianism biblically sufficient? NO!!! God is a Father, and we have no other choice but to live in the Father’s world. Therefore, we are all subject to the Father’s rules, whether we agree with them or not. God the Father has determined to work through fathers. He has appointed fathers in the home (husbands/fathers), fathers in the church (elders/pastors), and fathers in the state (civil magistrates). A woman’s responsibility is serve…
There was an article written by Psychology Today titled “Why Women are More Likely to Want a Divorce.” Here are a few comments that women made about this on Facebook: “If you’re doing a majority of the household work and childcare plus working full time and you no longer love your spouse…they become just another stressor…then big surprise, the women ask for divorce.” This comment received hundreds of likes and loves. “With the women I know who initiated divorce, a…
“It is good for a man not to touch a woman” (1 Corinthians 7:1). God created us. He knows that touching members of the opposite sex gets the motors running. It’s good for young couples to have strict boundaries in place before marriage in order to stay sexually pure. “Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband” (1 Corinthians 7:2). Marriage is God’s design to prevent fornication. If a…
