All opinions are mine alone. #CollectiveBias #Yoursand#YoursandMine Why is it that our marriages seem to get put last? I’m just as guilty of this as anyone, especially with a new baby. Our evenings revolve around caring for him, and keeping him happy and content. Once he’s in bed, we then try to do everything that […]
Being Prepared for Marriage

A couple weeks ago I shared a post for the unmarried ladies on Praying for your Future Husband. Apparently these dear single sisters are still on my heart because here is another post mostly for them, but also just a little bit for those of us who are married. What does being prepared for marriage mean? Filling a hope chest? Learning the basics of homemaking? Knowing how to make a killer pie? because we all know “the way to a […]

How does one find their identity? Is it in the family they were born into, the career they have chosen, their spouse, their church? Do you feel like you don’t have a personal identity and wonder how to find it? Maybe you have even Googled “How to find my identity”. Here’s the thing: If you are looking to identify with someone or something, then you are completely normal. You were created to identify with your creator. Created to seek out […]
Becoming a Submissive Wife
Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.
One thing I have been trying to work on lately is becoming a submissive wife. Not a door mat, or someone who just agrees with everything he says, but submissive. Becoming a Submissive Wife: Trust me, I am anything but a doormat. If I disagree with something or someone it is likely that I will walk away or state that we will have to “agree to disagree” because that isn’t my viewpoint at all. In cases where I hold in […]

Men, understanding them can be a walk in the dark. Even though I have been purposely studying my man for over 3 years now, I still don’t always get him. I know many veteran wives will also attest to that. This post on how to understand a man is simply sharing what I have learned by studying my own dear hubby. How to Understand a Man: Men think completely differently than women. In fact they word their phrases differently as […]

She Does Him Good: She does him good, not evil, all the days of her life. Proverbs 31:12 By Kendra Stamy She does him good. What does that mean?

When Hurtful Words are Spoken ~Conflict in Marriage
Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.
Anyone who has been married for long, will know that there are times when hurtful words are spoken. Times when your spouse says something that just hurts. Times when you don’t even know who you are married to. What do you do in those times? Respond in anger? Run away and feel sorry for yourself? Ask why they are acting like that? I have a husband who is always saying the meanest things. I mean, sometimes I think he intentionally […]
The Embarassing story of how I Nearly gave Hubby a Concussion
Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.
It wasn’t funny at the time, but it is now. Here is my embarrassing story of the time I nearly gave hubby a concussion. My story starts long before I ever met Jason. It starts when I was 10 and my little sister was 2. I was so thrilled to have a little sister (after two brothers), that as soon as she was potty trained I begged for her to share my room and bed. It was fun for awhile, […]
Fix your Marriage or Take Care of It?
Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.
Is it easier to fix your marriage, or take care of it to prevent the need to fix? When we bought our house it was newly remodeled for us. But we bought it with the understanding that we would still need to maintain it. We knew that walls would get marked up and the carpets would get dirty. We knew that the AC would need cleaned in the fall, and that pipes and wiring would need an occasional check up. […]
Couples Arguing. Can Arguments Help a Relationship?
Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.
There were 4 different couples; 1 couple snuggling, 3 couples arguing. 3 years later. There are 3 couples arguing still, but the couple that was snuggling is a thing of the past. Yes, Jason and I are an arguing couple. I’m not afraid to speak my mind and he loves controversy (although he calls it discussing stuff). lol. So my question today is this: Can arguments be good for a relationship? Back to the arguing couples for a minute. My […]
I Didn’t Tell My Husband… (It was a Really Bad Idea!)
Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.
There was that one time, that I didn’t tell my husband. Every-one else in my family knew, a few close friends knew, but Jason didn’t know because I didn’t tell him. Keeping secrets in marriage should be reserved for Christmas and birthdays, and I knew that. But I didn’t tell my husband. Let me back up a bit and try to explain my warped and twisted reasoning in why I didn’t tell him. I was upset about it, so was […]
When He Won’t Lead
Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.
What do you do when he won’t lead? When we were first married, I’m guessing I was just like any other bride. I knew that we weren’t perfect, we had already experienced clashes before the wedding, and all that stuff. But I guess I thought I knew what to do. I had in my head that I would be the submissive wife and I would let Jason lead in everything. So I tried. In my head I though that as […]
