I hope I can lead our kids by example and not just by command. I hope they see someone worth imitating in me.

True.

Before the industrial revolution, fathers mostly worked out of their homes. I think that was good. Now most fathers work outside the home but that doesn't mean they can't value their time and impact there. If a man can run a business with his family, this is good too.

The Bible says we're a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, and a holy nation. So we are blessed. It also says we are light and others are darkness. But to who much is given, much is required.

The following quote is bad advice for wives. The truth is, quotes like this breed entitlement and resentment based on a fantasy romantic standard that may have nothing to do with his desire for you. When you focus on what you give in a relationship rather than what you can get, you reap what...

I don't mind it not being considered traditional. I just care that it works. Feminists like Betty Friedan started telling women that being home was somehow oppressive. The Feminine Mystique was about that. Once women demanded equal pay in 1979, companies could no longer give a family wage to a...

I remember you. Thanks for the update. I wish you the best.

I credit marriage to making me way better as a person than I was. To make things work, I had to invest fully, mature, and learn my biblical role. I am so grateful. That being said, marriage is not for everybody anymore as people are not being taught the values that make a marriage work and are...

A breadwinner. A provider. Even if its not historically the case, it is still the ideal. And it only shifted due to feminism.

Lol. You would think more women would see the benefit of this. Roles streamline effectiveness. If all you had to do was worry about making money, it'd be a lot easier. Since all I have to do is manage the household, Ive gotten good at it. A traditional man sees the value in his sacrifice in...

I see this as a means of survival, not the ideal. The 50's may be a specific time in history, but that doesn't mean it wasn't ideal.

I don't blame you for thinking this. Our marriage was more like this in the beginning. We both worked outside the home and were supposed to split the chores. It was not stress free. We argued a lot because it was not clear who did what on both finances and chores. Because of that, things on...

It is crucially important for children to have a lot of time with their Moms for secure attachment and their mental health. But even without children, a good woman is not just going to sit there and do nothing all day. She's going to make the home a place worth coming back to. She can put...

Im a die hard fan of biblical patriarchy, femininity, and roles but the ironic thing is that Ive learned more from my husband's masculine mindset since I stopped competing with him. I use this mindset to gain success in other areas. For example, I had a shopping addiction but I looked at my...

I have no issue with women making money and if they need to work, they ought to. I disagree however that one income is just a luxury for the few. You can make it work provided you are willing to sacrifice a certain lifestyle. For example, you may have to live with just one car with no...

There are a lot of marriages where things have gotten a bit too comfortable over time. The spouses may turn on the charm and dress well for strangers, but they save the worst version of themselves for each other. Flip this around. Dress well for your spouse at home. Stay fit and healthy for...

Ive never heard such a positive view of AI for families before. Interesting.

Will look into this more.

I believe submission is not the same thing as "doormat" or "limp ragdoll". I have an advisory influence role to play in marriage that is important to my husband. A Christian wife is to view her purpose as a helpmate and a companion to her husband. She takes charge of doing things in a way that...

Here's a pattern I wish I was shown earlier. If I had to marry again, as in my current husband was no longer with us, there's a few things I would do differently. 1. No dating. Modern dating just fed into a sense of entitlement because of the gifts, and taught me to crave attention from...
