It helps me to feel close to the Lord, and to my husband as the spiritual leader of our family. <BR/><BR/>And the whole spiritual headship thing has been tough for me. I can be pretty strong and opinionated. But I have to respect that that is his role, not mine.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03954179323097955442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4976233599526021972.post-27871003232506063962008-04-28T07:39:00.000-04:002008-04-28T07:39:00.000-04:00This was really good.

I especially needed the reminder of verse 3-it's so easy for me to point the finger at "him" and forget that I'm not perfect either. :-)janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00253164638688753640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4976233599526021972.post-36440665574549380732008-04-27T17:48:00.000-04:002008-04-27T17:48:00.000-04:00I know...I always wonder how secular marriages sta...I know...I always wonder how secular marriages stay together when neither the husband or wife is born again. That was always a deal breaker for DH and I when we were single. For us, Jesus Christ is the ultimate cornerstone. There are lots of other spiritual "bricks" that are being built in and around us, but without Him, the entire marriage would crumble.<BR/>And, even though we were both committed, mature believers when we married, we still struggled to die to self (ok, we probably still have our moments!). Again, Christ's example always kept us in check and eventually led us back to the place He intended for us to be. <BR/>A great (and I mean FANTASTIC!) resource for Christian wives is "The Excellent Wife" by Martha Peace. My copy is getting dogeared and I have been through the study several times with many women. I love that it is entirely scriptural...no opinions or notions. Just what God says we should be and do and believe and liken after according to His Word. It is very challenging and flies in the face of worldly teachings and examples...but that's why it is so great!<BR/><BR/>Good post and good God time!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17927465100877488795noreply@blogger.com
