The One Thing You Need To Be Transformed Into A Godly Wife
If you're anything like most wives today, you're trying your best to do it all—manage your home, caring for your children, serve at church, and do your best to love your husband well. 

But far too often, those efforts are fueled by pressure, emotion, a sense of "Christian" duty, or even cultural expectations - rather than the truth of God's Word. 

And when that’s the case, discouragement usually isn’t far behind.

The role of a godly wife wasn’t designed to be driven by emotion, pride, obligation, or performance. It was designed to be rooted in the truth of Scripture and faith in God. 

When a woman renews her mind with the Word of God, everything changes—her tone, her perspective, her posture, and even her purpose. 

She begins to see that her role isn’t just about meeting needs or keeping peace (and - spoiler alert - we're called to be MAKERS of peace, not keepers of peace). 

The role of a godly wife is about glorifying God through her words, her attitude, and her trust in Him.

But you can't live out that role without understanding what God's Word says - not what other people tell you it says.

Wives who consistently spend time in the Word often begin to notice a shift: 
🟣 their respect becomes more intentional
🟣 their love becomes more selfless
🟣 their communication becomes more patient

Why? Because the Word sanctifies (John 17:17). It reshapes how you think, and therefore how you respond.

If you’ve felt stagnant or frustrated in your role as a wife, ask yourself: am I being shaped by the Word or by the world? Are my thoughts toward my husband rooted in truth, or in emotion? 

This week, start small—spend 10–15 minutes reading one passage (Ephesians 5, Proverbs 31, or 1 Peter 3 are great places to begin). 

Ask the Lord to show you something specific to apply. Write it down, pray it over your marriage, and revisit it daily. 

Over time, you’ll see the transformation—not just in your actions, but in your heart.

This is my story!

 
As a Christian, it can be embarrassing to admit I've been married three times. 

As a woman who feels called to teach about marriage and submission, it can be almost unthinkable that God would put this on my heart after two failed marriages.

But God often uses the broken to accomplish His purposes - and He does not clothe us in shame, but in righteousness.

I have lived the life of the controlling wife. I have lived the life of the controlled wife

Neither brings the blessings God has for marriage.

Through my mistakes and failures, I've learned what submission is, and what it is not.

I am learning and growing every day in my role as a biblically submissive wife, a bonus mom, and a homemaker who cares for her home and family in joyful wellness!

Join me on my journey as I share some of my lessons, tips, and ideas to equip you to live in joyful submission and wellness!
