My Husband is Possessive and That’s a Good Thing

Men are wired to be territorial. It's part of masculinity. A strong, masculine man who is interested in you will naturally want to keep you for himself. My husband, for instance, doesn't like for me to wear short skirts or low cut dresses. Yes, he likes to look at me in those things, but he … Continue reading My Husband is Possessive and That’s a Good Thing

Obedience, Moving

Obeying my husband is always necessary, and as usual, I know what he says is likely for my own good. I don't agree, but I'm being petulant, and he's probably right. I want to go off all my Bipolar medicine to help me lose weight and trigger hypomania (not mania). My husband insists that I … Continue reading Obedience, Moving

Submission Brings Blessings

Submitting to your husband isn't always easy, but living the way God designed brings blessings. Although my husband and I have a lot in common, we still do not agree on everything. There have been calls he made that I did not think were best. But in these situations, blessings have always come from following … Continue reading Submission Brings Blessings

Staying Silent While My Husband Speaks for Me

I love it when I don't have to give my order to the server because he speaks up for me. I love it when I am in social situations (and getting tired or stressed), and he puts his arm around me and takes over the conversation. When I need to say no (something that in … Continue reading Staying Silent While My Husband Speaks for Me

Dogs, Church, Park

I'm sad this evening because my husband determined that we are not in a position to foster a dog. He thinks I will try to keep every dog we bring home. We are renters and we move a lot, and he is concerned that we won't find a rental when we move again. I feel … Continue reading Dogs, Church, Park

Many Are Invited, Few Are Chosen

For the first time, I really realize how important the parable of the wedding banquet is. A man who does not have wedding clothes is spotted at a wedding celebration (and he had already declined to attend),and cast outside where there is gnashing of teeth. Then Jesus says "Many are invited, few are chosen." If … Continue reading Many Are Invited, Few Are Chosen

Submission and the wheelchair

Quick thought. When I told my husband how safe I feel when he pushes me in my wheelchair, he said it makes sense because I submit. You have to submit when someone else is pushing your wheelchair. Following my husband's lead and listening to him has in many ways become second nature to me. I … Continue reading Submission and the wheelchair

Submission is Beautiful

So many people are against submission because feminism and rebelling against the Bible are so popular. Many women who find my Instagram assume I am dumb and abused. When I first married my husband, submission was not a part of my life. My husband even told me he wanted to leave "obey" out of our … Continue reading Submission is Beautiful

Radical, Sweet Softness

I have decided to embrace a radical softness. I want to be serene, gentle, and sweet. No more harboring anger or getting stressed out or being impatient. Obviously I don't mean the feminist form of radical softness. I don't believe in toxic masculinity for starters, and furthermore, this is all about femininity. I want to … Continue reading Radical, Sweet Softness

Public Vs Private

Today on Instagram I wrote about how masculine the public sphere is. From work to politics, public life is filled with conflict. Fighting through that conflict is masculine. I prefer the gentle, serene, and feminine. I have a fiery personality sometimes, but I like to stay at home and be at peace. I'm not saying … Continue reading Public Vs Private
