Would you look at that!?! The living Proverbs 31 linky party has been held 100 times! For the first 40 parties it went under the name of Matrimonial Monday and then the name changed a bit. However, we’ve partied here 100x 🙂 We’re starting the party early and I hope you share it and invite others to join it! I thought it would be fun to share some of my old Monday posts instead of writing a new one for […]

Matrimonial Monday Link-up plus the Name Change!
Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.Two weeks ago, we announce a pending name change and asked you to vote on the new name.

We are still looking for posts that pertain to marriage and being a […]
Marshmallow Jokes and Marriage
Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.
What do marshmallow jokes have to do with marriage? Maybe nothing for you, but for us, they mean a lot of fun. Marshmallow Jokes and more: I know I’ve said before, that Jason and I like to play practical jokes on each other. Today I thought I would share some of those practical jokes. I cannot remember when the marshmallow jokes started, but one day I found a marshmallow in my cereal. So a couple of weeks later, Jason found […]
Matrimonial Monday #40
Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.
Welcome back to Matrimonial Monday! Perhaps you have noticed that we changed the link-up rules awhile back. It used to be only marriage related posts, and now we have it as any post that relates to being a Godly wife. Kelly and I were discussing it and we come to the conclusion that our link up could use a new name. One that reflects the theme of the link up. We also thought it would be fun to include our […]
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 […]

Read full disclosure here.Hi lovelies, Glad to see you back for another Matrimonial Monday. 🙂 Before I share the features from last week’s link-up, I wanted to point out a post here that you should check out.

Contentment in Marriage ~MM #36
Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.
Do you practice contentment in marriage? Are you rejoicing in what you have, or looking at other couples and wishing you had what they have? Practicing Contentment in Marriage. So many times I see other couples (and read other blogs posts) where the men look just amazing. They open doors, fix meals, sweep floors, and all sorts of other things that Jason just doesn’t do. Not that he’s horrible. But he don’t open doors for me. He walks in front […]
Matrimonial Monday #35
Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.Welcome back to another Matrimonial Monday! The first post I wish to feature Comes from Delora Now. My Lack of Respect for My Husband, Led to My Son’s Disrespect. I love her honesty and openness. Her post was very similar to mine in that she talked about our words and the tone of voice we use. Her wake up call was when her son began… Read the rest here. The Happy Wives Club is a blog I just […]
How’s your Tone? MM link-up #34
Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.
When you are talking to your man, how’s your tone? Are you nicely asking, nagging, demanding, whining? How’s your tone? Or in this case mine. Saturdays we sometimes sleep in, hubby more so than I. I wanted to go to the store and knew we didn’t need a lot, so we could walk. I went into the bedroom and told Jason to get up, because I wanted to go to the store. He asked what that had to do with […]

Read full disclosure here.Welcome back to another Matrimonial Monday, where you can find amazing articles about marriage and homemaking linked up below! My turn to choose features, and as usual, there were many great posts linked up and it was hard to chose just one or two. However, I did manage to narrow it down, (I’m awesome like that!) and here are the features from last week. Esther at Laugh with us Blog, talks about languages. I don’t know about you, but when […]
It takes a Strong Woman to Respect her Man.
Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.
It takes a strong woman to cheerfully submit to her husbands requests. It takes a strong woman to give up what she wants in honor of her man. Yes, it takes a strong woman to stand up for herself, but it takes an even stronger woman to stand up to herself. Tweet that. It Takes a Strong Woman to Respect her Man! For years women were considered the weaker gender. Until one day women stood up and said “that’s enough, […]

Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.Ever had a moment, where you totally lacked inspiration? It doesn’t happen very often to me, but when it does…. 🙂 My lovely co-host is doing the features today, and I should be writing a post. But the beautiful weather outside is calling my name and I think I will have to answer. So for lack of better inspiration, I will leave you with a link to a post wrote back in September of last year. I miss the Guy […]
Matrimonial Monday #29
Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.You may have noticed last week that my faithful co-host had a rotten thing happen, her blog was (and still is) down. Completely! 🙁 She is pretty sad about that but working hard to get all in order. So that weeks links didn’t get any features chosen, I didn’t want to leave any-one out, so this week I am sharing features from that last two link ups. I think they are pretty good! I love Paula at Beauty Through Imperfection. […]
Should Married Couples Take Breaks? MM#28
Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.
Should married couples take breaks? That is my question for today. I would love some honest (and kind) input from my readers. source A friend of mine recently told me she and her boyfriend were taking a break. Her exact words to me were “if he has to live without me for a week, maybe he will start treating me better”. Having been together with the two of them in the past, I gently asked her about how she treated […]
Forgiveness and Marriage MM# 27
Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.In reading through the wonderful posts that were linked up, I noticed a theme among a few of them. Forgiveness and marriage. If you want a good marriage, there must be forgiveness. I thought I would share two of them that really spoke to my heart. At 31 Cups, Gretchen shared her post, Muddled love and Forgiving your Spouse. She shares about her favorite place in the whole world, her “other home” as you are reading, it feels as though […]

I cannot wait to see what you have this week. 🙂 Last week we had a lot of wonderful stories linked up and it was so hard to choose which ones to feature. However, there were two that really jumped out at me, and I want to share them with you. Elizabeth at Warrior Wives, talked about hearts. How many times do we hear,“follow your heart” or just trust what your heart is telling […]
He’s my Protector! MM#24
Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.
He’s my protector. I cannot count the times I hear words like these: “Be careful driving to work.” “Watch the roads tonight, they may be slick.” “Did you take your vitamins?” “See that poison ivy? Walk over here.” “Got your phone?” Ok, I think you get the idea. 🙂 All those comments and many others, he says to protect me or look out for me. But guess what? My nature finds them annoying. Be careful driving to work, and I’m […]
Don’t Lose Touch
Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.Right now it’s easy, we don’t have kids (unless fur-babies count), and we spend a lot of time together. But what about when there are children in the picture? Both of today’s features, mention ways to spend time together so you don’t lose touch. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I did. 🙂 Megan at Here’s to You Mrs. Robinson shared her post Who did you Marry? I found it interesting in the fact that she mentions […]
