Sera Beth Pinkard is a sorority sister of mine and a dear friend, she told me that she is good family friends with you. I literally freaked out because I have loved your blog and read it regularly for awhile now!

We LOVE being a team! Also, the original language in the passage you shared about wives being a "weaker vessel" is very similar to "fine porcelain." It isn't that we are weak in the way the world sees weakness. Our husbands are to care for us like we are precious porcelain. I think that is absolutely beautiful and edifying. However, I will be the first to admit that I'm also physically weaker than my guy. In fact, my 13 year old son whips me in arm wrestling every single time these days, and I like to think of myself as a strong woman. :) <br /><br />Beautifully written, Stephanie. I hope you know I think you and Nick do an absolutely lovely job showing the world the relationship between Jesus and His bride, the church, through your marriage. Love to your whole family!

I am so thankful I happened upon your blog last year sometime. Your posts are some of my all time favorites.<br />I'm going to be starting a women's bible study in our new church within the next few weeks. Do you have any good studies you can reccomend that will encourage our women and show them how much God treasures them?Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11657388369322646907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8338761959884122164.post-55370587598802880712013-04-28T22:04:18.818-05:002013-04-28T22:04:18.818-05:00oh yes and amen! i think people also fail to read ...oh yes and amen! i think people also fail to read on a bit further and see how God calls husbands to treat their wives.!<br /><br />plus i may or may not pull the " i am weaker " card to get out of manual labor.ok i always pull that card.lol<br /><br />once again thanks for sharing your heart what and inspiration!

I'm not married yet but God is definitely teaching me some stuff about marriage in advance. I learnt a lot from my watching my parents marriage but I didn't see any intimacy between them and they weren't really a good example of godly marriage. I'm so thankful that you have shared this and opened up your life and shared your experience so that I can see some of how a godly marriage should be! <br />Francesca xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15853445555426776341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8338761959884122164.post-88496837240331386732013-04-28T15:19:34.082-05:002013-04-28T15:19:34.082-05:00Beautiful wisdom Honey!

However, a look at their marriage devoid of God was clear enough to see that they unfortunately were the ones missing out!<br />Thank you for such a fantastic post that is a brilliant reminder of God's design for husband and wife. :)JustForDaisyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08811221502677859152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8338761959884122164.post-7693338429134830222013-04-27T12:45:18.940-05:002013-04-27T12:45:18.940-05:00Beautiful post!!

One of my favorite quotes from my husbands favorite preacher, the late Adrian Rogers, is this, about Men and Women, " A sledge hammer is stronger than a tea cup, but you can't drink tea from a hammer." Its all about purpose. "God made us different that He might make us One." also a quote from Adrian Rogers.

The strength is in ourselves, not depending on if we're a man or not. "One is not born to be a women, its something you become" Simone de Beauvoir. We are not weaker, we are learn by society to be weaker. Or maybe our worlds just different.. cause in Sweden women arent weaker at all. However, I have an open mind for your beliefs, I think you are a sweet family even though I dont agree at all to these words :).

I get my feathers ruffled when people try to disregard all of that. i mean, it's basically the first lesson in the bible. sigh.<br /><br />As you know, i, like you, was married young. we had to learn so many things the hard way (years 6 & 7 were doozies i'd love to tell you all about it one day)...submission IS strength. <br /><br />i big puffy heart your heart. <br />xxO<br /> Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08445855338602891022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8338761959884122164.post-37589053811878939202013-04-26T23:52:11.296-05:002013-04-26T23:52:11.296-05:00Love your sweet honest words, always!Love your sweet honest words, always!Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17385836660725909947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8338761959884122164.post-44179653127600462072013-04-26T23:43:19.105-05:002013-04-26T23:43:19.105-05:00Amen, amen, amen.

Where there is unrighteous dominion, the woman has every right to stand up for herself! Satan has succeeded in convincing the world that "it's all about US" and it has resulted in wars, abuse, lying, and everything else. And the Christians who are getting all worked up about Girl Power need to remember that even Jesus Christ came here to fulfill the will of his Father to fulfill all righteousness. There is happiness, safety, and joy in obedience. :)Paigehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17126824795202376608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8338761959884122164.post-55355881403084360852013-04-26T16:02:38.755-05:002013-04-26T16:02:38.755-05:00This is so true.

You have a man that is playing the role that God intended for his and his family and so you are "able" to submit and have it be a freeing thing! I pray for it as well--but the reality is is that many passionate, christian, spirit filled woman are married to men who aren't or don't step up. There needs to be TWO (really Three) in this story, it won't work any other way. <br /><br />I'm so thrilled for you and your family that it's worked out this way for you all, it is God's perfect plan for marriage no doubt!<br /><br />xoContemplating Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09808854805547064281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8338761959884122164.post-85977794875268862942013-04-26T15:10:23.069-05:002013-04-26T15:10:23.069-05:00love this!!
