Do you ever feel like you are going toe to toe with your husband? If you are anything like us the answer is yes! We are told in God's word that part of the sin curse will involve power struggles in our marriages. As a wife that word 'submit' immediately comes to my mind. Genesis 3:16 - "Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you". The word desire would seem nice but, let's look at it in a different translation. The NLT - "You will desire to control your husband, but he will rule over you." That seems a lot less nice. The question is how do we combat this desire? Prayer of course but, submission is a much better way because it is God's way. It is His design in our marriages for our own protection. Submission, in biblical context means: accepting or yielding to the will or authority of our husbands. If you struggle with this then look at it from another perspective, submit to God. He will help you if you are having a hard time submitting to your husband. I would be honored to pray with you or for you if you are like me and have had a hard time understanding this principle. Please click on the envelope to send me an email. I would love to hear from you. God bless your marriage and family as you continue to press forward on your journey. Philippians 3:14 - I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus (NIV).

Please pray for my husband as he is addictied to pornagraph and has left me, we have 5 children, 3 are grown and out of the house and 2 are still in the house with me, I am 49yrs old and have been a stay at home mom for 15yrs now. I have a high school diploma so I am basically starting from scratch. I love my husband and I am praying that he comes back, I do not want a divorce and I will refuse to sign any papers if he gives them to me. He is mean to me and he has never been before, he won't look me in the eyes and won't discuss anything about our marriage, he only talks to me if it has to do with our children. Please pray for restoration and for him to hear Gods voice again, and satan to release him.

Good morning Jasmine! I want you to know that I am/will be praying for your marriage and family daily. When it comes to addictions I can really relate because I not only grew up in it but, also have had to deal with it in my own marriage. It is very hard to separate your feelings when it comes to the person you love the most. But--WE have power as wives!! We have power in prayer! God hears us and HE will supply us with the daily strength we need to handle things as they come. Psalm 34:17 says, The LORD hears his people when they call to him for help. He rescues them from all their troubles. Psalm 18:6 - In my distress I called to the LORD; I cried to my God for help. From his temple he heard my voice; my cry came before him; into his ears. These I verses I clung to when my husband walked away from us. We have four children and he was caught up in a sickness that had such a death grip on him that he could not help himself. He was not the man I knew, the father I knew, or the friend I knew. It completely changed him. It was hard to emotionally detach myself from him but, I could not continue to enable his behavior and watch him suffer the way he was. I can tell you that I truly understand and if you need any additional support you can contact me here, Facebook, Twitter or via email.
