Wifehood

I’m so excited to have my sweet friend, Pearl from Pearl’s Oysterbed, on The Alabaster Jar!  Today she’s going to be sharing on s*xual intimacy (because that’s her thing to write about!) but before we get into the post, I wanted to say a few things.First, if you’re a single woman, then stop right here.…

One morning during my single years, my husband, who at that time, was a man I was just getting to know, decided to go on a run with me.  After we had finished, we sat down on a curb by the side of the road and chatted for a bit.  I was covered in sweat,…

Usually on Mondays I write a post on marriage and invite other bloggers to come by and link up their own blog posts.  However, today I’m going to do something a little bit different; I’m going to feature one of those bloggers right here.  But first, thank you to everyone who linked up last week,…

Today I wanted to share a post from a fellow marriage blogger, Kate from One Flesh Marriage.  Her post, 100 Weddings is about lessons (and reminders!) of wedding sermons. Being that she is a photographer, she has had the privilege to attend many weddings and hear pastors speak truth and wisdom into the lives of…

As a young child I cried A LOT.  My nickname was ‘A bucket of water’. (Seriously.) After many years of growing up with older brothers I had no choice but to toughen up.  Rug burns and bruises can do that to a gal, you know.  So over the years I learned to stuff my feelings…

I don’t want to write this post because I don’t want any woman to feel offended or condemned by it.  So please hear my heart when I write out some of the reasons a husband may not desire his wife. Yesterday, I listed the several reasons why a husband may not desire his wife and you…

Today I’m addressing a question from one of my readers about how she does not feel desired by her husband.  I realize that this is not the norm in most marriages, but I am finding that this concern is starting to become more and more prevalent.  Now some of you reading this probably wished you…
