Steve Harvey shared a clip about a woman asking Steve about her boyfriend having a beard. One of first things out of her mouth was, “I think my happiness should be his priority.” I believe that many women go into marriage with this same mindset. I sure did! I thought my husband’s priority should be to make me happy and when I quickly found out that this was not true, I was angry and continually frustrated with him. This is…
According to The Federalist’s article, “Significantly more Americans ages 13 to 22 say it’s important to buy a home and make ‘a lot of money’ than to marry, have children, and commit to a faith, according to a new late-April survey of 1,600 randomly chosen participants.” How is it going for these women who made the decision to pursue higher education and careers instead of families during this lockdown? Are they enjoying their fancy apartment or house and expensive car,…
Written by Celina Eve When asked by a new wife what your advice is to her, what do you say? These are the ones that come to mind after 22 yrs of marriage. What would you add? 1. Never say no to sex. It’s the glue that will bond you together through thick and thin. Even on the days where you’re not into it, put your husband’s needs above your own. You’ll be glad you did in the long run….
“Lori, could you please write a post for women who have been sexually abused as children? How to cope and/or heal from it? Are they still considered virgins? I love your page and appreciate your biblical teachings. God bless you!” It’s a sad thing that I have to even write about this but it is way too common, especially as our culture becomes more and more sexually depraved. Recently, I have been finding out more and more about the human…
“It’s been five weeks since lockdown began but editors of academic journals have already started noticing a strange phenomenon: women seem to be submitting fewer papers than usual while men are submitting more. According to the American writer Caroline Kitchener, some female academics say they are struggling to balance full-on childcare and home schooling with work, while their male counterparts are viewing quarantine as a chance to focus on their writing projects…The coronavirus may be more deadly for men but…
“Hey Lori! Love your posts! Could you make one about wedding cancellations in light of COVID? I’m supposed to be getting married in nine weeks and we are unsure about whether to cancel or not. (Our state has even stopped allowing people to get marriage licenses.) As a couple who have remained pure for our wedding, we are obviously super against having to postpone/wait any longer. Also, we want to start having children! I know a lot of young women…
Single women ask me where all of the “good guys” have gone and why it’s so hard for them to find a man who is marriage material. One woman even called it the “plague” of being single and NOT by choice. Is it a plague these days? It is certainly true that marriage rates have plunged to the lowest level on record, divorce is more common, and living with one’s boyfriend/girlfriend is the norm. We are even told that in…
A woman wrote about divorcing her husband. This was the message she gave publicly: “With great sadness, after 10 years together, we have come to a loving conclusion to get a divorce. We have nothing but love and respect for one another and are deeply grateful for the years shared, memories made, and the children we are so proud of. This is just the situation of two people growing apart. We ask everyone to respect our privacy as we navigate…
Written by Anonymous I was reading some posts for and against reopening the country. One was talking about being selfish and it got me to thinking. There are those wanting to reopen yet they’re being classified as selfish. There are those that rely on all kinds of people to supply them while they cower in fear at home. Isn’t that being selfish too? You expect your garbage to be picked up. You expect the grocery store to be open so…
Written By Katie Jean LaPierre From Eternally Minded Mamas “Your wife will be like a fruitful vine WITHIN your house…” Psalm 128:3 Never in my lifetime have I had so much OPPORTUNITY to be a fruitful vine WITHIN my house. Anyone can produce good fruit “out there” in front of others, but the rubber meets the road when our door is closed and we are within the four walls of our homes. We are “stuck” at home (which I love)….
