Your man leaves late to go into work and then comes home early.  He barely provides enough income to make ends meet.  He’s having a bang-up time lying on the couch while you’re working yourself to the bone all the while you’re fretting about money hoping he’d get up off his can. Have any of these…

He doesn’t include you in his decisions.  He leaves you out of his heart and his life.  Not only are the love and passion gone from the marriage, but so is the friendship and the common courtesy to respect and consider one another. If your man has shut you out of his life, of course your heart…

Does a wife go only to her husband to get biblical guidance?  Does she turn to mentors? This is what one woman is dealing with in her marriage. Dear Jolene Is it ok to ask other people/seek counsel regarding questions on scripture from someone other than your husband? My husband says wives are to go…

Marriage principle from the life of the Bride of Christ (the 7 churches in Revelation)… We’ve come to an end to our book and bible study of the Wives of the Bible.  I hope you’ve been blessed by this study and more equipped to have a Christ-centered marriage! Now, can you do me a favor?…
