Before Christ, marriage was my badge of honor, I was the prize and my satisfaction was my highest priority and I assumed it should have been my husband's highest priority as well, because after all He was able to get me as a wife!
We see Christ's example of how He endured the hostility towards Himself. We ourselves being called for this same purpose, the reality that we may suffer unfair treatment, but we are left with Christ’s example of perfect patience in suffering.
Do you really want your husband saved for the glory of God and for the salvation of his soul from damnation or do you just want a good marriage that doesn't cause you any distress? Be honest.
So clean, innocent, modest behavior is what the husband should see on you. Not pretending, not using deceptive and manipulative behavior, getting even with him, making avenging moves in response to the sinful behavior.
Romans has a very…interesting take on the natural use of the woman. Now if you are “open minded" and “modern" this may offend you. But the truth is that to deny this is to live in a delusional bubble and pretend like you don't already know and understand this.
We are always thinking about them, wondering if they think about us when they are working, wanting to rule over them, wanting their time and attention for ourselves, throwing a tantrum when we feel someone got more of his time than we did (or is that just something I did).
Loving our daughter had to be the hardest undertaking I’ve ever experienced. The first reason which is so earthly minded that I don’t even want to say what it was but it was because she didn’t present how i imagined a daughter would present.
It's not our job to tiptoe around our children and be afraid of damaging them, which is another fear hurled at us because therapy blames everything on a person's childhood
the younger woman wasn't singled out as if it's only her pattern to misbehave. The older man and the younger man in the exact same chapter are also commanded to be sober and while the older man has temperate added to his list as well. So she is in good company.
If you’ve been drinking from the well of feminism, and you now are hearing the Scripture call you to self-control, I can imagine the turmoil you might be facing. It’s the antithesis of one of the core tenants of feminism.
So, Chaste? What a weird word to be in this list, right? How can this be true? A wife is definitely not chaste so lets look at the definition of this word according to the Strong’s concordance.
Next to money, a woman might establish her valuation system using the yardstick of sexual attraction and affectiveness, how she can influence a physical reaction in her husband. If she’s a homemaker, she will feel that either she needs to earn money or give a replacement, usually in the form of sex, to feel as though she contributes to the family.
I see it over and over from women who decided to take God seriously, step out in faith and come home to serve their families, say time and time again that they are so blessed, so thankful for the call of God to come home.
The keeper at home, the homemaker is walking counterculture to the society around her, preferring instead to trust God and render service unto Him for His glory and she would do well to not be bullied into diminishing her service in order to make other women feel secure.
Proverbs 31 mentioned the wife who will do good to her husband. This man trusts her, with his heart, his home, and his children. He feels safe doing so. Do you think a husband could show this confidence in a woman who is bad, who lives recklessly or flirts with danger? Who turns away from good, conventional habits like caring for her home or acting appropriately in society?
Hands down, more than any other virtue that I have come to call my own, stands my favorite of all: kindness. Learning to be kind has been a true blessing in my life. I would have self described myself as being disgruntled. Like as my personality. Just a disgruntled girl.
A woman who has no intention of fulfilling the command of scripture will not tell you the right way to be in marriage. Titus is the right way to be, the verses in Ephesians 5 are the right way to be, proverbs 31 is the right way to be and if she doesn't promote those traits, why is she even talking to you?
That makes 4 individuals who gave the woman instructions. God, her husband, the evil one and herself. Because she reasoned that the food did look good to her and could make one wise. She sought her own counsel.
Everybody wants to tell the woman what to do.
Wives and mothers who do not show consistently the marks of Christ upon their lives give rise to scoffers to blaspheme the word of God.
They'll blaspheme because you said you read His word, you said God changed your life and yet, you still work like them, you still overthrow your husbands authority like they do, you are wild and uncontrollable just like them.
And the unbeliever, she will scoff as she says she calls herself a Christian, my grandma was a Christian and she didn't act like that at all.
Or worse, your unsaved husband and children, who will have a front row seat to see a Christian live her life, they may turn and curse God and His word because you are harsh, unloving, unkind, fast & loose, disobedient and insubordinate.
I love God and His ways and I want you to love Him and devote yourself to Him and His word and I should speak kindly to you but my own flesh wants to accomplish by anger the righteousness of God, which is sinful so I can't but must also be sober minded, intent on one purpose, which is to by my every word and deed to glorify the name that is above every name. So I struggle. I don't want to be made ashamed of when I speak my simple little words with my simple little understanding, I don't want you to shrug me off and say “oh what does she know, she's fat or she’s poor or she’s whatever, I have heard all of these.

I had this yearning inside of me to become good at something. To go all in on a thing, like how artists or singers or actors or cake decorators are.
Lately, I’ve been wrestling with a question I can’t shake: Do many Christian musical artists actually love God?
How do you serve someone who doesn't want it? Like your husband maybe is exasperated with you trying to submit to him.
Do you feel like a crazy woman sometimes? Like, you know something has changed in your marriage and its so very obvious to you but he swears he doesn’t see it.
There's a verse in Hebrews 13 that talks about the honor of marriage and the marital bed being undefiled then it lists 2 specific sins that will be judged by God.
As parents—especially as mothers—it's easy to become swept up in appearances. We want our children to behave, to look polished, to perform well.
So apparently there are a lot of women who have come to faith in Christ after marriage and either before or after adultery or abuse was committed by their husbands and now she doesn’t know what to do.
I am certain you are familiar with the scripture in Colossians chapter 3 that says Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them, right? Well what happens in your life when he is being bitter, meaning he is holding a grudge.
It's strange but it never dawned on me that my parents dated and were in a relationship they were choosing to be in. I didn't understand my mom's behavior towards my dad and how she was actually working on their relationship constantly.
When I first came home full time and read proverbs 31, I felt an immediate dread. Because first of all, she had so much work to do and I was complaining about my ultra modern life and how hard it was.
As I began to take seriously the mandate to teach younger women while also being mindful of the fallenness of my flesh and its desire to talk about whatever fancies my heart, I turned my attention to the ladies who have blessed me the most.
I want to tell you about a common reaction of anger with my husband that used to dominate my life:
You know what. I am angry. I feel like all I have been to you these past few weeks, all the kindness, all of the help, all of the good thoughts, are completely obliterated in your sight.
