Wifehood

Today, we have a little bit of a twist. Generally, on the podcast, we talk to the wives to equip them. But today, I thought wouldn’t it be great if my husband, Eric, could speak into the hearts and minds of men on how they could lead a strong-willed wife? Because if any man could,…

Last week I discussed being a strong-willed wife and how it can be difficult to follow your husband. In our podcast episode of Part 1, I touched on the first 2 of the 5 ways.  In today’s episode, we’re covering the rest. P.S. Number 5 is my favorite!   Click below to listen.  Got a…

Being a strong-willed wife can make it difficult for me to want to follow my husband (or anybody else for that matter!) But, according to God’s Word, husbands, not wives, are to be the head of the home. For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body. Ephesians  5:23…

The heart of her husband safely trusts her; so he will have no lack of gain. She does him good and not evil all the days of her life. Proverbs 31:11,12 If you want to draw emotionally closer to your husband then demonstrate the following to him: 1. A kind heart. Something very common happens…

Just because you’re married doesn’t mean your spouse will not flirt with others. Shocking, I know! One would think that kind of behavior would stop once the vows began. Does he justify his behavior?

Q & A on the blog today… Dear Jolene, A friend of mine has a husband who attends church with her but he is emotionally abusive and he’s an alcoholic. They attend a church that is opening a second campus that the wife wants to start attending. Her husband is refusing to attend the same…

Everyday choices can either build a marriage or break it. Personally speaking, if I don’t bring every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ (2 Corinthians 10:5), it won’t take much for my self-centered, flesh-filled thoughts to hijack my mind so I make destructive choices not God-honoring ones. Every human being on the face…

It doesn’t take much work at all for the sizzle in marriage to fizzle as it’s common for the passion to wane over time. However, no wife I know wants a dismal love affair with her guy. And I’m sure, vice versa. We never walk down the aisle in hopes for a platonic marriage or…

Differences in marriage. Every couple has them because there is no such thing as two identical spouses. If it were so, we’d be a bunch of robots. Perhaps what initially attracted you to your spouse has now gotten on your ever-loving last nerve and the two of you are constantly living at odds. One wife’s…

Boundaries are needed in life to protect things (and people) that are important to you. Not only are boundaries a good thing for your marriage and family, but boundaries are also needed for oneself personally. Oftentimes, the personal boundary gets overlooked in marriage and that’s when the relationship starts to break down. Emotional lines are crossed because…
