Children change relationships. Really. Jason and I were the “kids” goofy, picking on each other, always on the go. Then we had Kolton. We were still kids, but someone we had a baby to keep alive as well. So things change a little. Then another child comes along and things change more. Children change relationships in many ways, on many levels. My relationship with Jason has changed. Relationships with my parents, siblings, cousins, aunts, friends, and so many other people […]

The Night No One Showed Up The invites had been delivered, the house cleaned, soft music played and the diffuser was putting the delightful scents of fall into the air. The table was spread with sundry treats and swag bags were waiting to be claimed. Everything was ready, food bought and prepared, nothing was lacking to make this a great evening. The door was flung open wide and all that was needed were the guests, we were ready! The clock ticked. […]
Femininity is NOT a Weakness
Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.
Among conservative Christians, the modern feminist movement is strongly frowned upon. I too disagree with modern feminism, but I am a feminist at heart. First of all though, femininity is NOT a weakness. Webster defines feminism as a group of people who believes in equal rights for men and women. Interestingly enough, this is biblical teaching. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in […]

We live in the day of modern technology and that’s not all bad. Texting for example is a tool, it can be used for good or for bad. Here’s how a text changed our marriage for the better! Jason has never been a texter. Although to be honest, aside from that short time we dated, he’s never been one to leave notes either. I’ve accepted that romance does not a relationship make and learned to appreciate my strong steady man for […]

I love the IDEA of Valentines. But hate the commercialization part of it. I’ve basically told hubby that flowers anytime are welcome but I don’t expect him to try to keep up with all the unnecessary expectations. That being said, I do love a simple romantic valentine’s date. Today’s guest blogger Brittany is sharing her idea for a homestyle simple romantic valentine’s date. Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and so it’s time to start planning out a special […]
Husband Gives Me Horrible Gifts

In a Dear Abby type column last year I read a letter written by a sad and frustrated woman. “My husband gives me horrible gifts” she wrote and pleaded for the answer in helping her husband give her the gifts that truly made the season magical. 1 year he bought her a vacuum and another year it was a Kitchen Aid mixer. Other horrible gifts from him included winter gloves and snow scraper for her car, a padded mat to […]
A Woman’s Battle is Against Gossip

Gossip. It could very easily be the woman’s besetting sin. Whereas men may struggle with keeping their thoughts pure, a woman’s battle is against gossip. A Woman’s Battle is Against Gossip I’m a talker. Anyone who knows me well at all, knows this. But more and more I’m realizing that all my talking may not always be good. In fact, many times my talking could be the very opposite of good. It didn’t use to bother me. In fact, for […]

Marriage… It’s such a blessing to many of us, and yet we all know that marriages take work. A healthy marriage requires dedication, trust, love, respect, teamwork and so much more. Ecclesiastes 4:9-11 Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. For if they fall, the one will lifts up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up. Again, if two […]

In one day I had ordered co-op with my mom, drove to the farmers market for potatoes and tomatoes, and drove to a bulk foods store for raw cane sugar and maple syrup. My mom laughed and said I was being a proverbs 31 woman because I was “gathering my food from afar”. It made me smile and wonder how many other ways that I am being a Proverbs 31 woman without realizing it. I actually came up with quite […]

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 […]

My marriage post today is a bit different than usual. But I know there are many young ladies who read this site as well and I wanted to talk to them today. Dear single ladies, are you praying for your future husband? Not as in “Lord send me a man!” but praying for his soul. I remember reading Proverbs 31 as a young woman and the 12th verse really stood out to me. She will do him good and not […]
What do I Stand for? A Look at Beliefs

Give us clear vision, that we may know where to stand and what to stand for – because unless we stand for something, we shall fall for anything. ~ Peter Marshall, US Senate Chaplain 1947 Have you ever looked at yourself and asked “What do I stand for?” Have you ever seriously considered what your actions are telling the world? Sometimes I just go along with the flow and forget, that I as a Christian truly do stand for something […]

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 […]

For today’s marriage post I decided to share another one of the devotions from our new E-book Set Apart. I am the author of She Does Him Good. I hope you enjoy it! 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? Nearly the entire chapter of Proverbs 31 talks about all the good things she does. Isn’t it […]

Respected in the City Gates is a devotional from our new e-book Set Apart. Her husband is respected in the city gates, where he takes his seat among the elders of the land Proverbs 31:23 By: Crystal Hatcher Respected in the City Gates: At first glance this verse appears to be a prerequisite unrelated to us as women, but instead to the quality and character of the man we chose to marry. How many times have women looked at […]

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 […]
