If... I focus only on what God commands for us as wives to do, it detracts nothing from God's commands for our men. His Word for them still stands.

I decided to throw out everything I thought I knew about following Christ, being a woman, being a godly wife, masculinity, and marriage.

Becoming a godly wife is not about following a bunch of rules... If I am feeling overwhelmed and overburdened, I am probably trying to do this in my power, apart from the Spirit's strength.

This is what I had always dreamed marriage would be... Everything was absolutely perfect... for three short days.
