The Transformed Wife

According to a new study, “Analysis revealed on the whole, women who cheated reported an increase in self-esteem and life satisfaction after the affair.” After reading this, I couldn’t stop thinking about it. Years ago when I had young children, I was friends with a couple in our neighborhood. They were happily married. They went to church together and had a few children. They were both kind people. When her children were in school, she decided to get a job…

My husband and I were both 22 years old when we married. We both wanted to be married young. If I had my choice, I would have married right out of high school. I had no desire to go to college and have a career. I wanted to marry and have children! The feminist agenda never appealed to me, and I was not raised in a highly conservative home. According to the Wall Street Journal, “Too Risky to Wed in…

A woman wrote me and told me her husband wants more wives. He is searching for more wives but with specific qualifications. None of the women so far want to adhere to his qualifications, thankfully. I encouraged her to keep praying that God would thwart his agenda. God allowed polygamy in the Bible but it wasn’t His ordained will just as He allowed slavery due to sin. He also allowed Hitler to be the chancellor of Germany who murdered millions…

In raising our children, we were diligent to teach them to be guided by Truth rather than by their emotions and feelings. We taught them to take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ and renew their minds daily with Truth, God’s Word. This is the single most important thing you need to teach your children after training them to obey you. Timothy Allen has been commenting on my Facebook lately. I recently shared one of his comments on…

Written By Timothy Allen What most miss – particularly Christians, is that God created the Earth and created a Garden and placed Adam in it to tend to it. Adam had EVERYTHING HE NEEDED to do those tasks all by himself. The Bible says that God brought the animals to Adam to be named. He did this – it no doubt took quite some time. Adam was alone on the Earth for quite some time – and he was equipped…

A woman asked me recently about writing a book for singles. “What about a book how to date for singles? The dos and don’ts in terms of dating for marriage for women, for what to look for in a man, topics to talk about to determine if we have compatible values, prayer examples for discernment, guidance, heartbreak, etc. There’s a lot on how to be a good Christian wife, but not a lot of information for single Christian women wanting…

Recently, I was sent this email from a Pastor: Lori, I very much appreciate all that you do to help women understand proper biblical gender roles. Teaching biblical gender roles is also a big part of my preaching ministry. In my preaching and teaching on this subject, I find it is the women who have the hardest time accepting what the Bible says. I had an idea that may help women in this area. I do not know if you…

“When the family shall no longer have a head, and the great foundation for the subjection of children in the mother’s example is gone; when the mother shall have found another sphere than her home for her energies; when she shall have exchanged the sweet charities of domestic love and sympathy for the fierce passions of the hustings [political campaigning]; when families shall be disrupted at the caprice [impulse] of either party, and the children scattered as foundlings[abandoned infant] from…

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…
