“Isn’t It Demeaning to Me if I Respect My Husband?”

A guest post from a precious sister in Christ who is very new to this journey: Thank you!! I was ready to quit when I stumbled onto your site. When you responded to my anger with such kindness and affirmation something clicked for me – if I could be kind to my husband when he’s […]

God Helps a Wife Overcome Destructive Jealousy

I have been sharing many of the wives’ comments from the post Monday “I Need to Change! I Can’t Go On Like This!” on my Peaceful Wife Blog Facebook page. I want us all to get to hear about the things God has done and is doing in as many other women’s lives as possible. […]

The Treasures of God in the Midst of a Great Storm

From a wife whose husband threatened divorce a year ago and who wants to share with other wives who are in extremely painful situations similar to her own: I want others to know that I had many “turn the corner” moments over the last year. I am approaching 1 year since the bomb drop and have […]

“I Need to Change! I Can’t Go on Like This!”

This wife read a post for the first time on my blog – and has graciously allowed me to share her comment. I think a lot of us may be able to relate to this sister in Christ: This post – “A Fellow Wife Begins a New Challenge – I’m Actually Going to Believe My Husband” […]

“I Can’t Ask for Things. I Shouldn’t Have Needs, Desires, or Emotions” – by Radiant

From a very dear friend and sister in Christ whom God has radically healed physically and spiritually in the past year and a half.

This sister’s issues […]

Some Conflict Is Inevitable

We have been talking about how God does not call us to avoid conflict at all costs, and that people pleasing is idolatry. It is putting the approval of people above the approval of God. I shared verses about what the Bible has to say about people pleasing. We talked about how it is ungodly to […]

“I Must Avoid Conflict at All Costs. That’s the Godly Thing to Do.”

I would like to address some more concerns a wife shared in response to my post about how we can be vulnerable and direct about our needs. First, and this is critical: Our sharing our feelings does require a delicate balance. BALANCE We can go too far one way or the other and make a […]

“Being Vulnerable and Direct Feels Wrong!”

I’m going to share one wife’s “gut reactions” to the list I gave of ways we can speak and communicate directly and honestly. It’s worth the time to really hash through these objections in our self-talk together. My original statements from a post last month about how to directly communicate our needs and desires are […]

Healthy VS. Unhealthy Relationships

Where are people not permitted to say what they need, how they feel, or what they think? – those who are literally slaves or who are in concentration camps. – those in extremely oppressive countries with totalitarian regimes. – those who are in abusive or dysfunctional relationships/families. Here are some hallmarks of abusive/dysfunctional personal relationships: […]
