The Believing Wife

She does him good and not evil all the days of her life – Proverbs 31:12 Last week, I wrote the blog about how we need to acknowledge that as wives we need help. This week I want to remind you that your husband needs your help, too. We often think of our husbands as […]

Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, one will lift up his companion. But woe to him who is alone when he falls, for he has no one to help him up. Again, if two lie down together, they will keep warm; but how […]

The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. And likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. Do not deprive one another except with consent for a time, that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again so […]

Also do not take to heart everything people say, Lest you hear your servant cursing you. For many times, also, your own heart has known that even you have cursed others. Ecclesiastes 7:21-22 It’s not personal. You’ve heard that before. You have probably said it, but I want to encourage you to believe it today. […]

For they bind heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers – Matthew 23:4 It’s time to get rid of false responsibilities.

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus – Galatians 3:28 When John and I got married, I became a bonus mom to two amazing boys who are now grown men. I didn’t bring them into the […]

You have set a boundary that they may not pass over, that they may not return to cover the earth – Psalm 104:9 “Debra, you can’t have a bite of my sandwich.” My husband, John, and I experienced a wonderful day last week. We were spending quality time together – just the two of us […]

Wives, submit to your own husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives and do not be bitter toward them. Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well pleasing to the Lord – Colossians 3:18-20 Who comes first – the spouse or the children? I’ve been asked this question […]

yet for us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and through whom we live – 1 Corinthians 8:6 My husband isn’t my everything. I know it sounds good as a caption under a beautiful post, but […]
