Praying, sis. May God be everything you need more than ever

I definitely did not shift my mindset to confident homemaker of purpose overnight. I remember feeling guilty for leaving work. I was really bothered by my husband's coworker when she said I wasn't pulling my weight. Later I found out she was unsuccessfully trying to sleep with my husband but...

I don't get the same fulfillment out of paying bills and sacrificing financially for the house as my husband does. It made me feel taken advantage of despite it being an agreement. It's a bit hard to explain but my conclusion is that wives make resentful breadwinners most of the time. Having...

That is so awesome! I love hearing about your life and how you raised your children.

Nice list. In all likelihood, I will live to lose my husband. He is literally giving his life force to give me and our children easier lives. He does not want an easy life. He craves purpose. I'm glad we at least give him that in exchange.

I love this Youtube channel so much!! A wonderful way to get your thinking in line with Christ as you go on with your day!!!

There is nothing wrong with living in a place you can afford. Here is the place we lived in just shy of two years. Many of my American peers will see this as poverty. Although brothers and sisters from other parts of the world will know many wish they had a place like this. Either way, this...

Although homemakers may not have full time careers, we can do so many things that improve the finances! ---Living graciously within our husband's income ---embracing frugality, resourcefulness, patience, being a producer and not just a consumer ---Small business, homesteads, side jobs...

Praying now

I see two bad sets of habits that wives get into as far as keeping up with looks. One is to make looks such a big deal, that vanity and expensive cosmetics and procedures take over---and this effort doesn't want to be wasted so wives also use this to attract attention from strangers. The other...

The greatest earthly benefit I see from modeling my life after Genesis 2, Proverbs 31, Ephesians 5, and Titus 2 is the confidence my husband carries himself with now. Having to lead us made him very competent at life skills and God quickly called him to lead even his parents who needed...

@Wrangler I should add, in a single income household, one person can focus on work without sacrificing the marriage. At one point, I made more money than my husband but it definitely hurt the marriage and we both hated that. I never was satisfied with the way he did chores and felt taken...

What's interesting is that my father-in-law also recommends the book. Will have to pick it up. I grew up rather priveliged and everything was taken care of for me. I did not realize the skill and hardship that went into just surviving. However, when we switched to one income, we were sharing...

Glad to see the thread still lively. My husband, roommate, and I have all been working really hard to unpack. I love unpacking way more than packing. This place is lovely. I feel like I get to show off all my homemaking skills that I learned over the years. We may have lived in a dingy...

Guys, my brain is fried. Just relocated and had moving day

Its actually here. Move out day

About 70 years ago, this was a nation wide cultural understanding. Case in point, the Titanic. The women and children got on the life boats to safety first. Thanks, patriarchy. Could it be that male responsibility can benefit others. I disagree. I have no issue with single mothers getting...

I think most men in general, want women's lives to be easier, not harder. It's great to be pro-woman. But I tend to see feminism as an ideology to be rejected entirely. Why doesn't feminist activism involve offering to help women practically in the weeks after child birth or giving all...

Let me be specific. I support Christian biblical patriarchy as refined by New Testament Scripture. As a Christian, I am not obligated to follow the 213 laws of Moses. Although Im interested in the historical accuracy of the property concept. When Rebekah was sought out to be Isaac's wife, her...
