We talk a lot about what a submissive wife looks like and learning how to become one. But what if? What if we decided not to follow God in this. That we wanted to maybe follow somethings, but not all, or set His teachings aside altogether and go our own way. What would happen then?
There are non-believers who have good marriages, ones that stand the test of time. Maybe our marriage would be like theirs and we'd be fine.
In this episode we're going to take a good hard look at the truth, as I share with you 7 hurtful consequences of the unsubmissive wife.
Let's get started.

In this episode we'll dive into the life of Sarah, a pivotal figure in the Bible who God refers to as the mother of nations. She is known for her faith and submissiveness, but also portrays a bit of jealousy, impatience, and even harshness, when she doesn't get her way.
Through it all, we learn to trust in God's promises, even when we can't see the outcome, what it looks like to build a Christ-centered marriage, and the true beauty found in a gentle and quiet spirit.
Let's get started.

Our tongue is one of the smaller parts of our body and yet, it can have a profound impact on our relationships, especially within marriage. It can either be our biggest problem or our greatest attribute. The choice is ours.
Many of us are aware of this because we have seen first hand the effects our tongue has had on those we love. How our words can just as easily lift someone up, as they can tear someone down.
Taming our tongue tends to be much harder than we would like it to be. Where does this demeaning or hateful speech come from and how do we change it?
Thankfully, God gives us His wisdom and insight in this. Join me as we look to scripture for how to control our tongue with our husbands, for a loving happy marriage.
Let’s get started.

Last week we looked at 19 character traits that we are striving to posses as a godly wife. In God’s design for marriage, we use those character traits as we carry out God‘s purpose for our lives.
Which begs the question, what is God‘s purpose for me as a wife? What has He called me to and what should my priorities be in living the Christian life as a married woman?
Join me as we uncover how God has created women with a unique purpose and how to live it out in a way that glorifies Him. We will also discuss the importance of being a helpmate to your husband, embracing the role of parenthood where applicable, and making peace with God's specific plan for your life.
Lastly, we will see how your spiritual gifts serve as a blueprint for fulfilling your God given purpose.
