Submission for the Working Wife
I understand God has a different plan and design for each of us. My financial situation looks different than yours. How you’ve chosen to educate your children may be different. I am not going to degrade you for working outside of the home, for choosing public school, or for feeling like a better mom because… Continue reading Submission for the Working Wife
Don’t Worship the Wrong Table
I see, and love posts reminding families to get back to the dinner table. I need this reminder from time to time. It is to be a place a place of physical nourishment, fellowship, laughter, and memories. Families need this time of intentional connection. Too many of us are just doing our own thing, living… Continue reading Don’t Worship the Wrong Table
Intimacy in Marriage: Part 4
A second complaint is that one spouse doesn’t seem interested anymore. There can be many reasons for this. Some were mentioned in the last post. There could also be medical issues, medications you take (most antianxiety and antidepressant medication will affect your sex drive), or there can truly be low libido. Most of these can… Continue reading Intimacy in Marriage: Part 4
Intimacy in Marriage: Part 3
Go above and beyond for your spouse without expecting anything in return. Simply seek to be a blessing to them just because you love them. I have never heard a man complain that his wife made his favorite meal, set his clothes out for work the next day, or gave him a nice foot rub… Continue reading Intimacy in Marriage: Part 3
Intimacy in Marriage: Part 2
One simple step we can take is to create a space that welcomes intimacy. Your bedroom should always be kept tidy. An unmade bed with piles of laundry on it will not set the tone for intimacy. I have a personal rule that laundry doesn’t get folded in my room. Baskets do not get dumped… Continue reading Intimacy in Marriage: Part 2
Respect in Marriage: Part Three
Ephesians 5:21 “Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.” Marriage is a constant balance of giving and taking, meeting in the middle so both spouses are pleased with the results and direction of the marriage. Some requests your spouse may have will not make sense to you. You may often find yourself… Continue reading Respect in Marriage: Part Three
Respect in Marriage: Part One
I feel like there needs to be a huge PSA at the wedding that says: You are married. Stop living as if you are still single. Your finances, your friends, and your schedule are no longer yours alone. You are on the same side. You two are now one. There is nothing you will do… Continue reading Respect in Marriage: Part One
Having Basic Goodwill For Your Spouse
Goodwill is defined as “friendly, helpful, or cooperative feelings or attitude” Philippians 2:3 reminds us, “Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.” Taking a moment to think that maybe your spouse had a bad day, forgot, or had something else on their… Continue reading Having Basic Goodwill For Your Spouse
Do You Pray for Your Spouse?
Scripture is very clear that we are to pray. We see the example of Jesus praying more than once, the disciples asked Jesus to teach them to pray, God invites us to pray, we are told to cast all of our cares upon Him, and we are even taught about fasting along with prayer. God… Continue reading Do You Pray for Your Spouse?
