FEMININITY At its core, femininity is about being receptive, open, full of wonder, gentle, soft, delicate, beautiful, graceful, peaceful, nurturing, priceless, worthy of being adored and cherished physically, emotionally and spiritually. God designed women to represent the kind of devotion, love, reverence, adoration and willingness to submit that God desires His people to have for Christ. Ephesians 5:22-33 […]
I am going to assume you are dating a strong Christian man (or will be) for the premise of this post. If you are not dating a Christian who professes Jesus as Savior AND Lord (meaning, he has yielded his life in total submission to Christ and His Word)- your man’s biggest need is to […]
THE BRIDE IS USUALLY IN CHARGE OF THE WEDDING IN OUR CULTURE I have concerns about the relationship dynamic that is being set firmly into place during engagement in our culture with the wedding planning being all about the bride, what she wants, and “her” big day. I understand why a bride is usually in […]
Thankfully, Jesus can save us from our slavery to our sinful nature and empower us by His Spirit to walk in holiness – that we might please God and be free to honor Him! What wonderful news! He can give us the power to respond to evil and sin with blessing and good. This is […]
This is an email from a wife I first “met” online last July. God has been doing a HUGE work in her heart! I know you will be richly blessed by reading her story. This is a fantastic example of a wife honoring her husband’s leadership, sharing her heart, showing trust in God and in […]

Another Christian single man’s take on the issue of women approaching men/initiating relationships. This is in response to a post the other day “Maybe I Have Been Wrong about Letting Him Pursue You? ” Thank you very much to this man for sharing his perspective! First, I don’t think you are way off on what you’ve […]
Here is a way that one wife decided to approach her husband with the list on my site about what feels disrespectful to men. I love the way she handled this. Maybe it might give you some inspiration, too? I am so glad to be learning and walking beside you on this road. 🙂 My […]
I believe that this husband articulates the feelings of the vast majority of men – Christian and non-Christian. It is easy for us to assume that our men don’t have feelings because they often don’t verbalize them. Sometimes, they can be deeply wounded for many years and NEVER verbalize their pain. That is what my […]
I know of nothing in the Bible that would prohibit a couple from getting married due to an age difference. There may be cultural norms and accepted practices – but I am not aware of a biblical issue in this situation. Of course, if one of the people is under the legal age to marry […]
