  A Note to the Man Who Wants to Take Charge Follow up to (Having the Conversation) I want to add something here specifically for the men who are considering becoming the Head of Household (HOH) in a domestic discipline relationship. Gentlemen, if your wife is asking you to take a stronger leadership role, she may be looking for more than a set of rules. She may be looking for a man whose leadership she can trust, whose decisions give her confidence, and whose strength allows her to feel secure enough to be vulnerable. There is something attractive about a man who is comfortable taking responsibility. Masculinity, in this context, isn't about being loud, intimidating, or having to prove that you are in charge. It is about being grounded in who you are, willing to lead, and prepared to accept the responsibility that comes with that leadership. In my view, there are four qualities that can make a tremendous difference in how a wife experiences her husband's leadership. Be Firm. ...

Why I Submit to Discipline from My Husband

Rachel and I have been chatting for the past few weeks. She has wanted to tell her story on how she got to this point in her marriage. She sent me this and I honestly need you all to read this. It is so good and important. What a journey!   REVISED/CONDENSED Why I Submit to Discipline from My Husband Article by - Rachel / AKA “Imperfect Wife” Entering into a more traditional husband-and-wife dynamic within our Christian marriage was not an easy journey. Our marriage had been deteriorating for a year. We struggled to communicate, overwhelmed by work, finances, and the trials and extra commitments that come with raising our children. On top of this, I started an ever expanding business which demanded more energy and time than I could commit while keeping up with a busy household. Counseling was considered.  We didn’t want a divorce, yet we could hardly stand to be in the same room, let alone share the same bed. Our words had become weapons, and we were living parallel, independe...

Friday at Home Before the Doctors

  Friday at Home Before the Doctors  Friday was a little different from most of my Fridays. I didn't have to go to work because I had a doctor's appointment, and Hubby took the day off, too. Whenever I have to go in for my infusions, he takes time off work and drives me himself. I don't think I will ever stop appreciating that. He has never made me feel like I am facing this journey alone. Our morning started the usual way, with barn chores for the whole family. There were animals to tend to and things to get done before the girls headed off to school. Hubby and I worked together to get them out the door, and I found myself appreciating something that might seem pretty ordinary to other people. Usually, Hubby handles the morning school routine because I have to leave so early for work. It was nice to be home and participate in that part of our family life with him. Sometimes it is the little, everyday moments that remind you how much you enjoy being part of a team. Once the...

How to Talk About Domestic Discipline With Your Partner

  Having “The Conversation”: How to Talk About Domestic Discipline With Your Partner Article by Lisa This article has taken me over a year to write. Hundreds of edits.  Next Week I am posting Two Articles A Note to the Man Who Wants to Take Charge A Note to the Woman Who Wants to Follow His Lead Over the years I have been thinking about my sister. She has told me that she desires a domestic discipline relationship. The difficult part is that she got married without ever having that conversation with her husband, and he has no interest in it. I feel for her because I understand why bringing something like this up can feel incredibly vulnerable. It is one thing to have thoughts or desires that you keep privately to yourself. It is something entirely different to look at the person you love and say, “There is something I think might make our marriage better, and I am nervous to tell you about it.” And that is why I keep thinking about “ The Conversation .” If you are considering ...
