My ex-husband and now a current boyfriend, both have one maddening thing in common: they tend to not make a stand, won’t make decisions, can not handle change.
In this way, they are not able to be the head of the household, the Priest of the household as I want my husband to be. I don’t want to make all the decisions. A quality I’m looking for if I ever get married again is a man who can be as God says in the Bible.
In the meantime, I am working on how to be the wife God will want me to be. I know I need to be less of a perfectionist and critical. That part I am working on in a woman’s group at church.
But I would love to read some need some real-life examples along with good Christian advice. I’m reading Radical Womanhood right now and it’s helping me.. great book!
Thanks!

If you have time, click on and listen to the Monday links… they are on marriage usually. I think they may help you change, and also help you to know what to look for in a man.

Why don’t you ask Jesus to help you first. Then read the books. Because a change must come from a deep change in our hearts that only God can really do. If you remember to respect your husband and ask him for help with decisions he will do it. We women sometimes have a tendency to get emotional when we get into “talks” with our men. I have found the best possible way to approach a man is by keeping calm. The one you should listen to is Jesus.
