False Submission to Our Husbands
Through the years, my views about submission, and submitting to my husband in general has changed. When we married, I was quite the feminist.

Room Sharing Prepares Children for Marriage
I remember when my children started sharing rooms like yesterday. I seriously wondered if I was a bad parent for asking them to share a room!

True Romance Within a Marriage
As women, we often equate romance with flowers, candy, and jewelry. I know I sure used to! Let me tell you a little story.

Like that … Continue reading True Romance Within a Marriage

Vulnerable Outside of Our Husband’s Leadership
"A woman who insists on being outside her husband's leadership places herself outside God's protection.

Consequently, she is susceptible, not only to the deceptions of Satan, but also to the convincing arguments of all those who would seduce her … Continue reading Vulnerable Outside of Our Husband’s Leadership

You know, sometimes I think I have this "mom" thing all figured out. My oldest daughter is eighteen, and I have eight children. In many respects I can say, "Been there, done that."

She Employs All Her Living for Her Husband’s Good
Lately, I've been working on expanding the collection of Bible translations in our home. My favorite addition has been a 1560 Geneva Bible until we purchased the Septuagint last week.

It is my understanding that when … Continue reading She Employs All Her Living for Her Husband’s Good
