Top 10 Christ-Centered Marriage Posts of the Year
Recapping this past year, my posts on marriage always brought the most traffic. Some of these posts you’ll find here on JoleneEngle.com and others will be found on my other site, ChristianWifeUniversity.com. In either case, I’m the writer. 🙂 (I’ll update you soon about the future plans I have for Christian Wife University.)
1.Why Christian Women Are Drawn to 50 Shades of Grey
I was completely surprised to find that this was the number one marriage post of the year. My heart sank when I saw the stats. Hopefully, the ministry here will draw wives closer to the Lord and to their husbands.
2.1o Things that are God’s Will for Marriage
Need some marital goals for the coming year? This list will give you some good ideas.
3.The 8 C’s that Will Destroy Any Marriage
Perhaps you can identify with some of the C’s I have listed? If so, no worries! I’ve also included ways to combat these little snares that are so common to marriage.
4.The One Question Couples Should Ask Each Other Everyday
This post will help you to connect emotionally with your man.
5.The One Reason Why It’s So Hard for Wives to Respect their Husbands
Learning to speak our husband’s native language (respecting him) does not come natural to us on a regular basis. Respecting him is a choice. By giving you the ‘why’ perhaps this pursuit will make respecting him a bit easier?
6.If You’re Not a Wife with a Strong Personality don’t Bother Reading This
A meek wife is not a weak wife! This was a fun post for me to write. Hopefully it will dispel some myths you’ve been holding on to?
7.What Kind of Wife Do You Want to Be? 7 Virtues a Christ-Centered Wife Should Pursue
A person is either growing or they’re stagnant. Which type of wife do you want to be? Which path will cause your marriage to either thrive or die?
8.How a Wife Can Confront Her Husband’s Sin & Idols
Ah yes, a sticky issue in marriage. Yet, a reality. This post is from my podcast.
(In case you’re wondering, yes, my podcast has been on hold because we’ve had issues! Issues with lack of time for Eric and I to sit down and do them. And technical issues from iTunes. In fact, it’s been a big fat headache dealing with them. My favorite part of the ministry here is answering your questions but we didn’t have a solution yet to our problems. But after much prayer, we now have answers! We’ll be back to podcasting in the coming year, so hold tight.
9.How to Switch Gears from Mom to Wife
Putting on the wife hat is so essential to a thriving marriage. Learn how and why to make the switch!
10.How to Find Peace as a Wife when Facing Financial Storms
Yes, it’s possible to be full of peace even when your bank account is empty. Not easy. But possible!

Live a poured out life for Christ,

I am not sure how you determine the top marriage posts, but if it is by how many times the post was read, I want to encourage you. I did not read “Why Christian Women Are Drawn to 50 Shades of Grey” when it came out, but I was tempted to click on it today when seeing the title again. I am NOT drawn to 50 Shades of Grey, but because I am curious what draws others to it I would appreciate reading the post to see if it may provide me with the ability to encourage others in what they are truly seeking (knowing it’s satisfaction through Him). Is it possible that it was a top marriage post because other women were also curious how they may be able to encourage the women they know who are drawn? Or that women shared the article with women they know who could benefit from reading? I still have not read it, but if you reply that it would be beneficial to read and forward to those I know who supported that movie, I would certainly read it and forward for His glory!
Hi Kim,
The post is determined by how many have read it. I’m sure it was read and shared for multiple reasons. You should check it out (there are no details about the movie in my post) as I now what I shared will help many women with their marriages.
Thank you so much for this! My marriage weathered a horrible 2015 that I seriously contemplated ending it.
God, however, as other plans!
And reading some of your 2015 posts is proof that I need to work on me instead of trying to change and control my husband.
Thank you Jolene!
May you continue to be blessed in 2016!
Hi Judith,
Thank you for sharing your story of God’s faithfulness! This is so awesome to hear you are growing in Christ. Keep pressing on, friend.
