EP 100: Showing True Biblical Love to Our Husband

by Marci Ferrell
Biblical Womanhood Christian Living Communication in Marriage Marriage Podcast Respect Titus 2

Showing True Biblical Love for Our Husbands @mferrell

Take a moment with me, ladies, to remember back to the early days of marriage. You loved to see your husband's face, hear his voice, and feel his touch. To be near him, hold his hand, or delight in a long sweet conversation. Laughing together, taking long walks, love notes, sweet phone calls, and all the other gifts that let you know you were loved and cherished by each other. No one had to tell you to delight and cherish him. Let's fast forward ten years. Life happens. Days are busy. ... continue reading...

We are called by God to respect ... continue reading...


How Well Do You Respect Your Husband? A Self-Assessment

by Marci Ferrell
Marriage Marriage Series Respect

  How well do you respect your husband? Sometimes we can be blind and think we're doing a pretty good job when truthfully we're not even coming anywhere near being respectful to our husbands. If you haven't picked up your Excellent Wife book in a bit (or if you don't have it yet - stop and go get it here now) dust it off and take a moment to re-read it and at least today read chapter 10 on respect. Did you know that God didn't call you to change your husband?  He did call you ... continue reading...

20 questions to make the Gospel come alive in your marriage

I came across a great article entitled,  Does your spouse know you are for him/her?  Let me share a list of questions we as wives should be asking ourselves of how we are making the gospel come alive in our marriages from RickThomas.net.  "The two greatest things that could ever happen to a man is to live in the overflowing awareness of God’s pleasure and to experience his wife’s undeniable affection.

"Home is the true wife's kingdom. ⁣ ⁣ Very lar "Home is the true wife's kingdom. ⁣
⁣
Very largely does the wife hold in her ⁣
hands, as a sacred trust, the happiness ⁣
and the highest good of the hearts that ⁣
nestle there. In the last analysis, home ⁣
happiness depends on the wife. ⁣
⁣
Her spirit gives the home its atmosphere. ⁣
⁣
Her hands fashion its beauty. ⁣
⁣
Her heart makes its love. ⁣
⁣
And the end is so worthy, so noble, so divine, ⁣
that no woman who has been called to be a wife, ⁣
and has listened to the call, should consider any⁣
price too great to pay, to be . . .⁣
 the light,⁣
 the joy,⁣
 the blessing,⁣
 the inspiration, ⁣
of a home. ⁣
⁣
The woman who makes a sweet, beautiful home, ⁣
filling it with love and prayer and purity, is doing ⁣
something better than anything else her hands ⁣
could find to do beneath the skies.⁣
⁣
A true mother is one of the holiest secrets of ⁣
home happiness. God sends many beautiful things ⁣
to this world, many noble gifts; but no blessing is ⁣
richer than that which He bestows in a mother who ⁣
has learned love's lessons well, and has realized ⁣
something of the meaning of her sacred calling."⁣
