“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 […]

Stephanie Shares Some Pearls of Wisdom about Nagging

A guest post from a sister in Christ, Stephanie. I’m so thankful we can share our stories as we learn together on this road: We got married in 2007, and we were so young (I was 20 about to turn 21, he was only 23), and still in school. I was lucky that in […]

“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.

If that is your […]

A Fellow Wife Begins a New Challenge – “I’m Going to Actually Believe My Husband”

I first “met” A Fellow Wife in October of 2012. We have had some INTENSE conversations over the past 3 years. This has been a difficult journey many times for her – as it was for me (and as it is for all of us, I would daresay). I always love sharing what God is […]

Ladies, If you haven’t already read it, please read the first post in this series, “What Place Does Hatred, Rage, and Violence Have in Our Lives as Believers in Christ?” Please do keep in mind – there are times when we will feel angry. Feeling angry is not sin in and of itself and there […]

Where Do Hatred, Rage, and Violence Fit in Our Lives As Believers in Christ?

Ladies, Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet (or peaceful) spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight. I Peter 3:3-4 Please do […]

“My Husband Wanted a Divorce”

Why do you complain, Jacob? Why do you say, Israel, “My way is hidden from the Lord; my cause is disregarded by my God”? Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his […]
