I appreciate the fact that you have relieved me from feeling I've sinned for so long leaving my husband who would hit me.

This touched me because I believe society teaches us to be more self centered and leave relationships when things get rough. A godly wife is a woman who will work for her marriage and not only worry about her own happiness but her family's.

I appreciated that you pointed out that wives/mothers have a ministry, and we ought to be doing it for the Lord. I used to feel sort of like a failure in that I wasn't going out in the world and basically making disciples or being a strong testimony in my community. But then the Holy Spirit showed me that I AM making disciples and being a testimony: I'm doing it at home with my children. THEY are my ministry right now at this point in my life. They are watching my daily life and seeing firsthand whether I'm doing "all things to the glory of God". I also feel that Martha's third point in page 16 is such a good truth for women to embrace. We need to realize that yes, we ARE more easily deceived; God has wisely placed wives under their husbands. And along with that, because of Eve's sin, our desire is now to control our husband. If we recognize that desire, we will see all the ways that we may be trying to manipulate our husband in an attempt to control him.

Nicole Sowers oh yes to your last sentence....SUCH a real part of a woman's life....It is the curse and it will NEVER go away...I feel like I have been fighting that desire for my entire marriage and have done a good job at recognizing it and fighting against the temptation to be manipulative and dissatisfied, but it still creeps in really strong sometimes!! This passed weekend I had the HARDEST morning! i was struggling SOOOOOO bad with wanting to control my husband! It was terrible! And it didn't do anything except make me feel disappointed, discontent, I was complaining in my head and then realized WHOA this is going to stop right now or I am going to ruin the entire weekend! So I told him I was needing to get out for a few to correct my thoughts, pray and fight for peace...when I got back, EVERYTHING was turned around...I also expressed to him that I needed prayer because I was battling sin. Its ok and GOOD to let our husbands in on our struggles and remind them that we are cursed to want to control them! :) Thanks for this comment...good stuff.

***** I will pray for you. I struggle as well. I know that I have grown spiritually over the past 14 years of marriage, thankfully, but that doesn't mean that I still don't have moments where I want my way in all things.

Just started this study and I was so excited because I knew you had a video series on it :) To add to the value of a woman...no where in scripture is a man praised like a woman is like in Proverbs 31...she being more...MORE precious than rubies, a beautiful and rare precious stone...our eyes are dazzled when we behold this stone and God's heart is moved in the same way when He beholds a godly woman, He greatly values and praises her.

I loved this chapter, in my personal life I have and strive from being Self-centred to God centred. I can't even begin to tell you how much judgement I get from believers who ask me when will I return to work yet I lack nothing only focusing on being what I was created to be a wife and a mother.

10:17 THIS IS SO TRUE!!!!! You’re so right on this one that it’s a favour to mankind that god has made it an obligation to submit to only him because imagine having different gods and how hard it will be to obey all other gods because they will want different things from you and you won’t be able to give your best to either so none will be happy and how it’s a favour from God that there is only one God who neither begets nor is begotten - God emphasises this so much in the Quran: the last scripture to mankind from their lord Just some Had there been within the heavens and earth gods besides Allah (god in Arabic), they both would have been ruined. So exalted is Allah , Lord of the Throne, above what they describe - 21:22 God has not taken to Himself any son, nor is there any god with Him; for then each god would have taken off that he created and some of them would have risen up over others; glory be to God, beyond that they describe - Quran 23:91

I admire that you make an effort to improve your role in your marriage. It's a foreign business today to be selfless and serving in relationships.

Hi Alana. Loving doing this but I am struggling with certain aspects. I work. Alot of the views seem to suggest a woman shouldn't work in order to be a godly wife. I would like to challenge this view as I myself created a home business in my home around my children n husband's needs. I am always with my children I manage my home no different than a SAHM I am just able to use my gift n talents to bring some money into our home. Our goal one day would be to all work with a family business from home. What are your thoughts on wife's working? As long as my god and family come first surely its ok to work a little?

The very end of the chapter and the very end of your video really makes me think- God made men and women both in His image and both with different strengths and weaknesses, so perhaps leading is the man's strength and the woman's weakness? Maybe the woman's strength (and also the man's weakness) is loving, nurturing, and empathy; and could that possibly be why the woman is more easily deceived? Maybe its easier for the man to lead in the right way when they don' t have all those feelings and hormones clouding their judgment- the same feelings and hormones that make women much better at relating to and helping others. Just my thoughts, for what they're worth ??

Becky B good thoughts, though we can't make absolutes out of them...I definitely think God gave men something special in leading and decision making...we being so emotional can fall short in those areas sometimes, but mustn't think we are not good counsel to our husbands....my husband has taken my "wisdom" for decisions he's made before and thanked my for my thoughts as well as told me he thinks God has gifted my with great insight...I am not the leader, but I can help him tremendously in leading at times. :)

Linzee Kennedy so glad you liked it...yes, I am sure I will, but life has been so full lately...I am always trying to be as "un-busy" as possible and so since I have been busy I have put making vids on the back burner for a little bit, but still plan on continuing...I will be doing this book study on fridays for sure!

I keep thinking about what you said in another video- our "purpose" is to glorify God and to obey Him! No matter where the Lord has our "ministry" at this time in our lives, we can remember that point :) I am thankful that God has allowed me to be at home serving him as a grandmother and a helpmeet for my husband( in his business) and they are so many other ways to minister. If you ask the Lord to use you, He will. Glorify Him in everything you do to serve Him :) Great video Alana! Only 1 video a week for the last several weeks? That's unusual - are you doing ok? How is your tower garden doing?

Teresa White So glad you have been blessed by the study so far....yes, I am fine! Just busy! Can't figure out why....nothing has really changed! LOL. I think its easy to fill up your day with mothering, running a home, and making sure everyone's got everything they need....its funny. I try so hard to not be busy, but I guess its just been busy here lately. :) I will try to post a few more vids soon. :)Tower garden doing OK...my husband refinished the floors and so that took like a week...we put the tower garden in the dining room where it didn't get much sun and some of the plants are pretty sad right now.

God's name is in (Psalms 83:18) and his name is not Lord. the word Lord is a title of authority anyone can be called lord with a position of authority such as How Sarah called Abraham lord in her heart... but Abraham name was Abraham not lord just like God's name isn't lord but he is our lord because he has authority however that's not his name
