I love that you’re happy living life in biblical roles. As a man with a daughter, I’d like to give some advice to other ladies considering doing the same. When choosing a husband, use more than just your emotion, also use discernment. If he doesn’t demonstrate that God and his Christian beliefs are foremost in his life before you are married, you need to be prepared to break it off - even if your heart doesn’t want to. He needs to demonstrate by his actions and not just words that he is dedicated to live up to his biblical role as a husband, protector and provider. So, women - choose wisely and be certain that Christ is the center of his life and, by default, Christ will be the center of your happy marriage and loving family.
Yes. Indeed. The Christ center of his life and not himself..
The only advice my Dad gave me was "Don't marry someone because he is good looking".
No guidance on what to look for, whatsoever.
Funnily enough, I never asked him what I should look for either.
I was too young at the time to even be thinking about marriage, so wasn't really interested.
My niece is 10, goes to a Christian school and is religious, I shall pass on your advice to her when the time comes.
Last time I saw her we had a chat about husbands. She already knows what she wants.
She said her husband would smell of engine oil, (her Dad goes to vintage tractor shows) and have a beard, but with bald patches in it.
I can't wait for her wedding day and will buy them a can of engine oil as a wedding gift :)
I wonder if she will remember that conversation. Hilarious.
@@softsophisticate hopefully he gave you a good example of a man to look for at least.
My father was a horrible and man and still is to his family. But it is what it is. He was very abusive and we lost our mother because of it. I knew from an early age that all men weren’t like him. I dated a few gentleman, never led to anything but I’m glad I had that experience.
Amen brother! I’m so grateful the Lord gave me discernment when I was dating a man I met and I didn’t just go with my feelings! 🙌🏻
I just found your channel. You are so sweet. I am 70 Years old and I quit my job when we got married and we did not have children for 5 years. I have been a homemaker and helpmeet for 50 years and 5 months and I still love it. My husband is 74 and is still practicing optometry. I have 15 grandchildren that I absolutely LOVE!! I love your vision and your passion. This is the first I have watched and will look forward to seeing the rest you have made. I still make meals from scratch, I make my cleaning products. I am now thinking about making my skincare and makeup!! Keep on keeping on! Praise the Lord!!!
My husbands purpose was defending our country in the military. So he depended on me to keep everything running smoothly at home when he had to be away. Since I was a homemaker from the start of our marriage, it all worked out perfectly.
Another great example! Thank you Kelli, God bless you guys, appreciate you sharing your testimony!
Another Kelli!! Hello! Thank you for yours and your husband’s sacrifice. ❤, Kelli (TN)
God bless you both and thank you for your service to our country.
@@homewithkelli I love this message! Are you a soap opera fan, honey? I had a small role on one years ago thought I'd ask.
Yes the same is true of our marriage we were also a Military family and I stayed home from the beginning. We have been married for 52 years!
Thank you for posting this!! Raised by a single mom and not in a biblical household and learning how to be a biblical wife and mom in adulthood is hard, thank you for speaking on this! 💛
I appreciate your video !
I got married 3 years ago. And right after strongly felt convicted to leave the job . It took my almost a year to submit to God. I was battling feelings of not being worthy because I didn’t make any money. That I will lose all control and won’t be respected by others etc.
But When I quit I felt huge weight off of my chest. And peace. It took my a while to fully surrender and adapt the new position but now I see it as a privilege. My husband didn’t forced me , he gave me a choice . And God lead me to stay home. We don’t have kinds yet . The time I have allows me to serve people at my church, also volunteering in Christian Organization.
We don’t have a lot of money. It is enough for us to live and be content . I am very grateful for this ! God is truly amazing ❤ I finally feel like a woman . I am fulfilled. By the grace of God I died to my own dreams and accomplishments. I had to fast and pray. I was compering myself with others who are working and having careers but finally found full peace ! This video is a confirmation to me that it was Gods desire for my life. So He is glorified as I prayed to be the woman He wants me to be for His Kingdom.
I am the homemaker while he works from home. I ensure that his breakfast is ready, his lunch is waiting on him come lunch time. And of course all the routines that go with running a home. He calls me the home CEO and allows me to make decisions during the day regarding our home. It is an honor to be home taking care of him & our home.
Thank you for speaking out about this . I recently started staying home and I absolutely love it. Our marriage has been so much more loving and less stressful and I actually don’t mind being by myself most of the time. I keep myself very busy at home and honestly I am learning so many new things and ways to optimize our household and make it run more efficiently. I recently found out I am pregnant and am so excited for the years to come. I thank the Lord every day for the way he designed me and the desires that he has given me to be a true help mate to my husband. I feel so much for feminine in this new season and like I am finally where I’m meant to be. PTL 🙏
Absolutely! And this is not humiliating at all, it’s using your skills for the main purpose you were made for
childless homemaker here. so encouraging to hear someone talking about it. thank you so much❤️
Wonderful to have this Biblical message out there on UA-cam! Thank you for encouraging women in all seasons to do things *God’s* ways 💕💕
I agree 100%!!! Thank you for being bold and addressing this subject. You are young but wise beyond your years!
I've tried staying home without children and struggled with lonelines a lot. I was not involved with the church, so I didn't have a support system. I also didn't have the mindset of helping my husband specifically. It was more about me trying to homestead and work on our small side business. I went back to work after not working outside the home briefly. I don't feel as lonely since then and have started getting more involved with my church. I also am giving more of my life over to Christ and that has helped me heal in some areas that needed healing. But I know I neglect helping my husband and home because much of my time and energy go towards my job. In trying to find a solution and happy middle ground, I wonder if going part time would be beneficial. I could still get regular human interaction and at the same time have more time and energy to devote to my husband and household.
I used to work part-time in a shop - to pay the bills, but many of my older colleagues were there for the company. However, they disliked the job and the Management. I could never understand why they didn't just leave and go an do voluntary work or join an evening class if they wanted to meet people. Seemed a better way to me than putting up with a miserable boss.
Even if you get a part-time job, your time isn't your own as you have to be there or else.
In my grandmother’s day, a woman worked until she got married. My grandmother had only taught school a couple of years before she got married but she did substitute teach later in life. I quit when I was 5 months along with my first baby but I honestly never thought to quit if I wasn’t pregnant like my grandmother did!
I found a job that i did from home when we forst got married however when i got pregnant it was still to difficult to work amd be so sick i never worked after that and am raising kids on a farm with my husband. He is in the military so i definitely habe to be a helpmate to keep this house running while hes away! We married when I was 19 and I made sure to stay home even if I needed to work a little it was still at home and I was still able to be here every time he was home it was a huge blessing its still a huge blessing!
How refreshing and true. Quit my job because of children and never went back to work in order to invest in them more. What a much greater vision you point to in your videos and very biblical. God bless you with children into a wonderful home you are making. I was thrown into full time homemaking after having our first son and it is soooo hard because I had never anyone teaching me this explicitly in the context of the great vision of helping my husband by building a home economy. I'm very motivated now, your content is gold, thanks Kelli :)
This was a beautiful video. And what I got from this was that the baseline of every marriage is that you take care of each other. You said there are exceptions, and I completely agree with that. Each season of your life together is to help each other. Men are always pushed to the back when it comes to mental health. When you’re in a loving marriage, the wife heals the husband and makes him a better man for her. Which is part of making you one in spirit. Being cheerful doesn’t mean you have to be this fake happy woman all the time, it means that everything you do for your husband comes from a heart of love so you are happy to do it for him. When you’re truly committed to each other in love he will return that love and kindness back to you. When you really breakdown the meaning of this video to its bones and core and every video like this, whether it be a therapist talking, or a successful couple that is not Christian, everyone is saying the same thing just in different words. I love hearing someone just say, it’s okay to support your husband.
This has been the most transcendent video i've seen to this day about homemaking. The most striking part is the description you give about being made for the husband & his vision. It reminds me so much of Christ & the Father. Thank you so much for sharing this.
Thank you for this perspective, it spot on scripturally! 😊
I like this and reminds of something God taught me while waiting on Him regarding marriage which is to have a calling from God with your husband. This has challenged me to think back on all of the things God has called me to do in the past and remember how Faithful He was to work in me. One verse is 1 Thessalonians 5:24. He is faithful and because of His faithfulness, an ongoing commitment with a man in a marriage can be done in a righteous way in the sight of God. Finally, I also believe it would be wise to learn more about the identity as a new creature in Christ, and especially the guidelines on serving. I like the verse Galatians 5:13 on serving which reminds me of the liberty we must have first and not to put confidence in the flesh.
Wow Kelli, this is great. My life has been 100% opposite of this but you are SO RIGHT. Keep spreading the word.
I just found your channel 🙏 Praise God for spreading this good news. I love, how you said that, you praise for your husband before you met him. I did the very same. I am now happily married and a full time home carer. I love fulfilling the purpose God created me to be. God bless you. 🦋🙏🦋
What a blessing, thank you so much for sharing your testimony of praying for your husband before you met him! God bless you!!
Thank you for being bold with this message about the beauty and propriety of traditional Christian family roles. Please be encouraged to know that there are many, many people who believe this and experience the benefits of living according to God’s design for families - no matter if you have 0 children or a dozen. I love your channels!
Thank you Sally! God bless you!
Amen!
Nicely done. I came home when our first child was 8. I’ve been home for 18 years now with one middle school child left at home to school. I’ve always said I wouldn’t have changed a thing, but I believe I would love to have had this mentality. I’ve beat myself up while also not being as helpful in some areas as I could be. Thank you. Where is your “first steps” program for your ancient subscribers. 😝
Truly, I hope many women (and men) will be blessed by this video.
I just stumbled onto your channel, and I'm amazed to see and hear this from a young women. It's refreshing and wonderful to hear. And wish i knew this great wisdom as a young women. Even though I was raised in a Catholic family and a traditional home, I was still expected to get a job after getting married and focus on an outside career then being a help meet to may husband. After 13 yrs of marriage we were devoured because of it. But, now in my 2nd marriage and I'm learning to be his "help meet" that God intended me to be. Even though I'm still shamed by my sister's for not having an outside job, I'm not going to go against what God planned for my husband and myself.
One of my friends recently introduced me to the book "Created to be His Help Meet" by Debi Pearl. She has also written another book for young women who aren't married yet and learning how to be that "Help Meet" for her future husband. And Debi's husband wrote a book for men to help them to understand themselves better and living for God.
Thank you so much for your great wisdom and I'm look forward to seeing more videos like this from you. God bless and take care.
Well said, I’m glad I found your channel. I needed to hear this today. 💜
❤ soooooo inspiring to see a younger woman with this biblical perspective! I pray God blesses you and your family ❤
Thank you for this video (and others I just watched tonight). My husband told me many of these things about ten years ago while I was still working. I have been slowly changing over our 15 years of marriage (crazy to think it has been that long already). I was one of the women that quit my job after having my first kid almost 13 years ago (and now we have 7). I was definitely a workaholic so it was a big deal when I quit my job. I felt the Lord telling me to. It was one of our first leaps of faith. I did eventually go back to work because I started worrying about the money... then later quit again after losing our 3rd baby 21 weeks into the pregnancy.
Christian homes just don't talk about these things. A lot of these things you talk about my husband has been very aware of our entire marriage and I am learning on the way. He has a good relationship with God and God just tells him things even before they make logically sense. We see the fruit of following God all these years later. I grew up in a Christian home, but it just wasn't this way growing up. Feminism and having to be the working woman was definitely in my background. I wanted to be at the top. I wanted to not have to answer to any man. I eventually started an actual relationship with Jesus when I was 24 while dating my now husband. I had to go through a lot of stupid things to get there. :)
Your videos are very refreshing. Thank you! Life has been very challenging lately. It is hard to keep the faith.
I pray each and every day that this would happen to ne and now it is and im so excited and so so blessed
Wooow I needed this so much!!!! I came across Proverbs 31 and I desire to be that woman. I would pray to God to show me how to be that woman and now I can see how everything you said connects to Pro 31. Thank you, this is powerful, some people would say its RADICAL and outdated but is not, this is what the world need, there would certainly be less divorces. It starts with SUBMITTING yourself to GOD and pray fervently for wisdom in choosing a HUSBAND, not "fall in love" to fall out of love once everything gets real and raw!
Thank you for sharing this! Great message 😊
THANK YOU KELLI! and thank you God! this is what more young women need to hear. hearing you talk about your convictions gives me so much hope for myself. THANK YOU!
First time seeing you!! I love you sister. Thank you for this message! The Lord Bless you!
I wish I could tell I don’t agree but I do agree with you ! If men’s and women’s do their part in the society accordingly to God things would be much better
So blessed to have found a Christian channel to listen to while doing household chores.
So encouraging! Thank you! I am one that came home before we had kids. Still waiting on the kids.
God bless you, and thank you for sharing your testimony of coming home before children. I understand that deep desire and we will be praying for you guys.
Same ❤
Thank you, I needed this today! You answered some questions that have been bouncing around in my head. This has been God's answer to me.
Oh praise God! and God bless you, Olivia!
@@homewithkelli Thank you :) May God continue to richly bless you as well!
I really appreciate this video thank you for posting it ❤
Thanks for sharing ❤️ Loved this
Good encouragement! Good job, sister!
Beautiful said 👏
This is great. Thank you 💖
Such great information and advice 💛
Spot on! Thank you Kelli❤
Good word!
I love your videos. I’ve been married for 5 years to a man that isn’t a believer. Hearing all this really helps me stay encouraged.
God said do not be unequally yoked…please be careful as this can be very harmful for you you should talk to him about the Bible and getting into it together.
Hi Leta, thank you for sharing! And I pray 1 Peter 3:1,2 is an encouragement to you- "Likewise, wives, be subject to your own husbands, so that even if some do not obey the word, they may be won without a word by the conduct of their wives, when they see your respectful and pure conduct." Isn't that encouraging- without a word. We can trust and take God at his word. I bless you and your marriage.
In the greek translation it specifically says: Truly, for man is not created on accoun of woman but woman on account of a man.
Thank you. This is a wonderful video. God knows. God bless ♥️🙏🏾
I do all the rest but I can't quit my job for financial.
Such a great message
Thank you, Amber!!
Great job with this!! Thank you for spreading this biblical truth!! ❤
Thank you and God bless you!
I quite enjoyed this! Thank you! I love psalm 37 ❤
Yayy, thank you and God bless you!
Thank you so much for sharing this message so boldly. I remember yearning inside to be at home and live out all the things that I could do to help our home and family economy when I was working full-time before I had children. Now I have young children and I am at home and ever so energised by my role and I love how you share about it. I will be following your videos a lot! I love how you list all the aspects of the home economy and our role. I have been so challenged and motivated and excited to remember my role as my husband's helper and to support his mission as you say. I think watching your video is a defining moment for me as a wife and mother.
Wow, thank you so much for sharing your testimony with this. I'm so grateful, and excited about your journey. God bless you and your family!
Amen!! I've been praying for my husband for years now. Thanks for the encouragement that God will reward what is done in the secret place.
I find this so interesting.
Great video! 🥰
This was so good! Thank you for sharing ❤
Amen. Thank you for this video. I have a doctorate, and this message needs to be broadly spread to help marriages!!
Love the prayer for our husband you share. That was so powerful. Thank you. I had prayed for our relationship or for change... For him for his situation when he needs it... But the prayer you shared made so much sense and covers so many bases. Thank you. Praying with you for our husbands. Amen.
I'm so glad, Gob bless you guys!
I find you very inspirational and just wanted to say thank you.
Thank you so much and God bless you!
Thank you so well articulated and clear logical understand of submission and submissiveness that respects and loves the family unite. You give hope to struggling marriages with this message in a day and age that is destroying families on the matter of work outside the home. May God bless you and your husband for being the example of Christ to so many.
Wow I really needed to hear the expectations and cheerful wife (along with everything else)
I'm thankful it was helpful! God bless you!
My word. I'm so on fire about this message. So beautiful ♥
Praise God!!
Ich bin berührt, das hast Du so gut erklärt!! Danke vielmals für das spannende Video und die hilfreichen Anregungen!
Liebe Grüsse 🙂
Vielen Dank und Gott segne dich!
@@homewithkelli danke, ich hoffe dass ich mich verändern kann und mehr eine Hilfe für meinen Ehemann werden kann.
Spot on sister! Love my cow journal, by the way. Our milk cow’s name is Elsie and she looks JUST like the cow on the journal. ❤️ Thanks again! God bless ya’ll!
Yayyy! I'm so glad you liked your journal and how cute, that is what your cow looks like!! I bet she is just adorable!!
This is helpful to me. We have a business and I felt like i should be “Homemaking” only and helping him was pulling me from that. However this encourages me to help him knowing it’s honoring to God.
Hi! One of your videos came by on UA-cam and i am happy it did.
3 and a half months ago my husband and i got married. I first lived a little while in Portugal and he came to pick me up, to come with him to Holland (G'D was our matchmaker :)
Since we were in Holland i couldn't get a job, it was weird, cause i could always get a job and i never had a problem with working. But since i met my husband to be, work wasn't something for me anymore. Meanwhile i was our own wedding planner, but after the wedding i kept searching for a job again. Until i said to my husband that maybe this was G'D shutting the door and i shouldn't work any more. My husband replied with: i thought thay was what we were already doing, you not working? Haha so it was settled.
Like you said, where to begin? What is being a house wife?
I am getting the hang of it step by step and every time someone asks what i am doing for a job, my husband replies with: i hired her. :)
Now i came across your videos and it is great to 'meet' someone who also stopped her job without having children, to help her husband and be a house wife.
Thank you for your videos :)
Shalom from the Netherlands, Tikvah
I just found your channel and I'm subscribing right now!
Thank you, and nice to meet you!
I just found tour channel and it is a breathe of fresh air to hear this message in these times. I truly believe that it is Gods purpose for us. This channel is a blessing.
Thank you so much!! God bless you!
I am all for stay at home wifing !
I appreciate your thoughts on the topic. Just some thoughts on my end - One of the first commands God gives humanity is to be fruitful and multiply, subdue the earth and fill it. Eve was a suitable helper for Adam because only a woman could help Adam in fulfilling this command. God could have spoken more people into existence, but instead He allows us as human beings, both men and women, to partake in this shared mission to create new life, with women having the special honour of carrying that new life into the world. Together, as humans, we are to love God, care for one another and cultivate the Earth. I don’t think Eve was created for Adam to cook and clean for him so that he can pursue "his mission". The mission of a husband and a wife is a shared one. When it comes to creating a household, I think husbands and wives are both equally responsible for that. How you divide up the roles/tasks will vary from couple to couple.
Exactly? She's spewing a lot of stuff not really said by God himself. Its just her opinion on how Christian women should act .
I’m 20 years old, watching from South Africa and I mention that because I see your husband is from there too.
Thank you Miss Kelli. This was a great deal helpful. God bless!💛
Wow! That is amazing, what part of South Africa are you in? And God bless you my sister!
Wow, this is such a blessing. I encourage you to keep on being anti-cultural and God cultural. Your videos have been a blessing to me and may the Lord hold remind me and hold me accountable to being a homemaker.
Thank you so much for your encouragement with this! God bless you!
Lot's of wisdom here.
Girl!!! You and I would be friends if we lived close. Keep sharing all the e
Wisdom in God's design for femininity
So glad UA-cam is finally recommending this type of comment. Before I even watch the video Im noticing good things. One is that your husband looks happy. Two is that your picture is with him which shows unity and is great for dissuading temptation and innappropriate behaviour from others.
Truth!
I love that! “Helping our husbands becomes our career”
Praise YAHWEH for sound biblical advice🙌💛
That’s not biblical. She’s cherry picking scripture. There’s freedom in Christ to choose
You need to read 1 Corinthians 11 in its entirety context
The Bible makes it clear that women’s home are priority but nowhere does it state women can only work in the home
You’re fine to have your opinion but it’s not biblical .
It’s dangerous when we take the traditions of men and spin it as the word of God
@@Lanab2677 we are our husbands helpmeet. We were created for the man not the other way around.
You are correct, it is not a sin to work outside of the home.
Titus 2:3-5.
@@Justineelynnn like i said before, the Bible makes it clear that your home should be in order first. Hence Titus 2. Do note that “worker at home” doesn’t mean to only work at home. But being your husband’s helper does not mean you can’t have your own career. Two things can be true at once.
The proverbs 31 woman worked outside the home, but she made sure her home was in order first.
Lydia in Acts had her own business (it cannot be assumed if she was married or not since the Bible doesn’t give this information.)
At the end of the day, there’s freedom in Christ is to choose. The lady’s video is dangerous in saying we should train young women to be wives only.
Even Paul mentions that not everyone will get married and talks about the gift of singleness.
If a woman solely wants to be a homemaker, good for her. If a woman chooses to both be a homemaker and work outside the home, it’ll be more work for her, but good for her
Good day to you!
@@Lanab2677 shalom shalom!
Love your ideas Kelli! Thanks for explaining all this to us. It sounds like such a beautiful experience to have a husband for whom to be a help mate. I would love to find a future husband who's worthy of my time and energy like this.
God bless you!
@@homewithkelli Thanks so much! God bless you as well.
Thank you for this!! The Lord has been convicting me about being a homemaker and my true purpose but I’ve felt so guilty about the idea of being home without children as if it was a wasted time unless there are children to care for. We were just married this year and I’m at the end of child bearing years so I don’t think there will be children in our future. This video has given good scriptures to reference and hope that I can still fulfill my purpose and desire to be at home without children.
I'm so glad you are encouraging! Congratulations on your marriage! God bless you guys!
Hi dear, I'm a housewife and I decided not to have children, it has been hard because I don't have any women in my life who support my decision but the love of my wonderful husband and his support is what encourages me to follow my own journey. My prayers for you and your husband, God bless you
Thank you for sharing this! Can you please share some tips and advice or things a single woman can do while still single that could help when she gets married? Or things she should learn
Yes!
Would love a video on home management. Like how to keep track of all the todos and lists and plans and goals.
With trying to manage the home and meals and a homestead with animals and homeschooling it is prettt overwhelming
I have thought many times about woman even just 100 years ago and how they didn’t have giant planners or binders with all their todos
I want to create something simple for myself but I’m not sure how to go about that
I would love to do a video on this. I have a new system that I've been doing for a few weeks that seems to be working for me. I'll give it a full month and then see how I feel about it and share!
I love this. Many people talk about being a biblical homemaker and even being his helpmeet but few talk about "what is his purpose and how do u help him in it! "I love this fresh perspective
Yes amen!❤
Excellent!! This video both convicted and encouraged me. It’s actually one of the best videos I’ve watched on UA-cam in a very long time.
I’m about to go mow our yard, which is pretty mindless and boring lol, but I plan to pray for my husband the majority of the time. I’m excited to watch more of your channel! Keep up the great work in the Lord ❤
There is a verse that says “wives be submissive to your own husbands”
I was thinking about this in terms of being submissive to a boss. And how I feel working outside the home for another man contradicts this verse. Because we are putting ourselves into submission to our bosses
Yes, and often it could be another woman, who usually has very masculine traits.
The same too you
Thank you for this video and all the Biblical references. May I ask what the book(s) was that you were reading about Catherine Beecher? Thank you!
Hi, thank you. I believe it was A Treatise on the Domestic Economy. You can download the digital version for free from Gutenberg press.
I am currently a year and a half into my marriage and almost 4 months of being a home maker. I quit my job almost 4 months ago to be my husband’s helper. It has been amazing so far! I find myself struggling to stay motivated every day though. Any advice? Advice on ways to keep the spark alive while we are both home (he works from home)
This is a tough one for me. My only request is for prayer. I know what I want to do (be a helpmeet) but, right now, it doesn't seem possible but with God ALL things are possible, so it CAN be done... I just need to know the "how" of it.
THANK YOU for Psalm 37:5
I 100% agree that we're to be helpers for our husband's..i on the other hand dont see anywhere in the bible that we should be basically "asking permission" to be able to have free time or whatever..that is micromanaging at that point. Husband's are not to be dominant over the wife, husband's are to love, lead and serve the wife as well. And its dangerous if we start living solely for our husband, instead of ultimately living for Christ. When we have Christ first, and then our husband second that is when things fall into place. (Children third) Yes its absolutely a good thing to help our husband's and to serve them, but there is a fine line..i know you're not trying to say that we need to live for our husband's, but i know there are some Christians out there that would take this LITERALLY. Thanks for the video and for the encouragement!
Does Christ not have dominion over man? Is Christ just supposed to love, lead, & serve the man (i.e. let him do whatever he wants)?
Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands.
@@EdwBollings you did not get the meaning of my comment. Unless you really think that wives should worship and live for her husband? Are you saying a husband is supposed to have the same authority as God does? Sounds a bit blasphemous..I would strongly recommend you read what God says about love. And then apply that to how you carefully love your wife/husband. Not base everything on what you should get out of a marriage being the head of a household. (Assuming you're married) wives are to submit (as in allow the man to lead not control lol) and the husband's are to love and be understanding. Both are to serve each other.
We are to submit to our own husbands up to the point where we don’t break God’s laws, so yes if your husband requires you to “ask permission” to go out with your fiends, you are required to obey… if we made poor choices that is not God’s fault and we are still required to submit, thankfully that only happens when you have an unloving, ungodly husband
@@wendymtzc sorry but that is not biblical. Submitting to your own husband is having respect for him and allowing him to lead you and the family, not control you. Leading is not the same as dominance as you're alluding to. Obeying the Lord yes, but obeying your husband like you're a child no. Yes the husband can ask and communicate to his wife why they should talk to each other about plans and whatnot but to "require" her to ask permission and have it as a rule he gets to use on the wife is not respectful nor loving as he is to be to his wife. He is also to respect and submit to his wife so don't try to make it a weird dominance thing because that is VERY unbiblical and something Christians get wrong all the time. But if you want to live in that way by all means go ahead, it's just not biblical though so please don't pretend it is. God bless!
@@NS-nm8nu wives submit to your own husbands, women obey your husband, the woman was created for the man, the husband has the power to vito his wife’s vows, even Sarah called Abraham lord, are you denying all these scriptures?
Of course a loving husband will not be controlling, but what if a Christian lady is in a marriage where the husband is indeed kind of controlling, are you saying she doesn’t have to submit to her husband?
Amen
My husband and I dated for 7 years. About 9 months after getting married he started a new career and we had to live apart for 7 months due to him working in another state and I had a job and was a full time grad student in a new city. When his job was complete I had already decided to leave grad school and my job to live and travel in a RV for his work. I would prefer putting our marriage and future kids before having my own career (we didn’t have our first until we were married for 4.5 years). We both hated going back to feeling like we were dating. I’m so glad God convicted me on this, despite only having 3 classes left to achieving my degree. It allowed me to learn so much before having the added responsibilities that come with children.
Also, don’t feel like your past is a waste. God had me have a degree and background in education because I now homeschool my children and that background shuts a lot of people up. The graduate degree in counseling psychology I was pursuing has helped me with my marriage, children, and multiple family members, but more importantly that knowledge saved my oldest and my lives due to me having postpartum psychosis and rage based anxiety due to Pitocin and birth trauma PTSD. There is a reason for each path taken.
Would anyone know if there is a list of questions that a sahm and wife can ask her husband, his expectations, etc?
Ok.
Wow. I'm so glad I came across your channel. I'm certain I'm gonna be learning a lot from 😊. As a not yet married homemaker, It's reassuring to find someone who shares the same sentiments with me. Lately I've been thinking about how I can help my soon to be husband with his business once we are married (since it's a long distance relationship right now)..luckily he did hint on certain skills he'd be glad I have for the benefit of the business, so in the meantime I need to acquire those skills in order to use them once it's time. I look forward to being his helpmate ☺. I love the statements "Helping My Husband Is My Career. My Husband's purpose is my purpose" ♥️. Thank you so much for sharing such wisdom with us.
Amazing video as always! Just wondering
..what do you use that jar with the small spout for?
It’s my soft wheat berries jar!
There is a deeper truth in this. Did you ever contemplate on why?❤
You are a smart young lady . This will keep expenses lower and less debt. So many men make $15 to $20 an hour and this economy today is killing us. Feminism was the worse thing that could have ever happened . Look how much crime snd single motherhood . . We got to work and pay others to raise our children .. I had to for a while, I’ve had to work parttime a lot. And full time when my boys were young, they went to day care and my mom helped a lot. Finally I was able to quit snd homeschool them.. snd still work part time, DEBT!! Debt is the worse., many times it’s unavoidable if you have appliances going out that you need or medical bills, . So proud that you were smart enough early on to see all this. Feminism was showing its ugly head a lot when I graduated in 79 . And now it’s very very hard not t9 make it on 2 incomes since so many men dong make enough to pay for even the cheapest of houses and a car to get there.. feminism did this.. and now so many women want to stay home and raise their children, thank you for inspiring them to do so. 🙏💕
Thank you Judy for your comment. God bless you and your household!
You are right.l paid lots of attention to my kids and clean home and didn’t pay so much attention to my husband.That might of weakened our marriage to the point of divorce.young ladies never stop putting your husband first.YAH is right once again 🙌🏻
You make good videos 👍🙌🏻
Thank you for sharing your testimony with this Michelle, God bless you.
