You said the word "partnership". The problem with a partnership is that when both parties are not benefitting equally, one partner can just call it off. Marriage is a commitment not a partnership. When you suffer in the marriage and you aren't getting what you want, you are still doing all you...

Wishing you well on your upcoming marriage! I sincerely hope its good, opinions aside.

Im willing to shift my language. Of course its good that you want your wife to be well off if you werent around. My husband wants that too. You said you didn't care about her earning power. Thats a more accurate way to describe what Im trying to say.

This is a thread where I'll be posting about my progress with fitness, health, and beauty. Ladies, feel free to add advice and inspiration. I want to improve on these things because 1. My husband was gracious and comforted me when I was much more overweight. I want to be in shape because he...

The first woman's story makes me want to snuggle my baby. I would definitely go back in time and set myself up for more children younger if I could. The second woman made me think about a question I get often: what happens if your man leaves or dies? It seems unrelated because she's on the...

Ill keep this brief: Had a rough night with husband, toddler, and baby. Husband was snappish and I was really upset about it even after he apologized. God once again saved the day. I sang Scripture songs to my girl to calm her down. Then God guided me on how to ge5 her to stop crying. This...

We are in the middle of the state now. Greensboro. But Im very familiar with the coast. I grew up near Wilmington.

Ha! My birthday's in May too! What a great reason to figure out a beach trip

Thank you!

Godly femininity is a loudspeaker for God's voice and presence. When ladies are Godly, men look to better themselves. A man will put on dignity for a ladylike woman. When wives are Godly, men hear God speak through their actions and humility. When Mothers are Godly, children learn virtue.

I wish you could meet my husband! Ya'll would get along

Thank you! I asked and God gave

How do you know?

Mutual respect...but not equal respect. That is what I think biblical marriage is. The husband is biblically commanded to honor his wife as a co heir to the grace of life. Honor for wives commanded in more than one new testament. Husbands who fail in this have their prayers hindered. (Verse...

A thousand times yes! To try and minister "out there" before the home is in order is to put the cart before the horse and invite bad results.

The Lord certainly requires a lot of wives and homemakers. To serve rather than be served. (Mark 10:43-45) To look well to the ways of our household and not eat the bread of idleness. (Proverbs 31:27) However, God's yoke is easy and his burden is light (Matthew 11:30) We can do this with a...

They don't by nature of the role. Imagine if I had to submit to my children because of a bad interpretation of the verse that says submit to one another. That would be chaos. God knows how to avoid chaos. Heaven is a monarchy, not a democracy. God says, creation obeys. Authority does not...

He really was just a regular guy, I promise. He was an overweight gamer that no one really believed in. He had a lot of anger and vindictiveness starting out. I thought I was better than him and found plenty of examples in his behaviour. But he was sincere in pursuing me and God. Its not...
