•     We welcome you to our group. I am so glad to see more and more women joining in our group. We are all from different religions and backgrounds. Submission is from God and God has ordained the line of the family. God, Man, Woman, and then children. We may all be from different places, with different beliefs, but we all are working on this aspect right now. I am so happy to see us all join together. and support eachother. God Bless You and again we welcome you ........Julie

  

  God bless you

• Hello! I am Barb. I'm 30 and married to the love of my life for almost 10 years (our anniversary is in July). We have 3 beautiful children. Our boys are 8 and 6 and our only girl is 20 months. I am a SAHM and we homeschool our kids. We live in upper-east TN, in the Tri-Cities area. We have had our share of problems in our marriage, mostly stemming from my control issues. I was raised by a single mom and she taught me to never rely on anyone but myself to do anything. That has caused a lot of problems in our marriage but we are working though it, or I should say I am working through, or trying to work through, my control issues. It is VERY hard. Especially since my mother also lives with us (we have a basement apartment, but she still comes up for meals and to be annoying, LOL). It's very hard getting over the control thing when she just exaserbates (sp?) the problem by reiterating that I should do it all by myself, without my husband (of course she doesn't say that with him around). But that's a whole other issue and I have trouble standing up to her because she suffers from massive depression. Anyway, I've gone way off track. I look forward to talking with you all!

• Hello Barb, nice to meet you. I love that you are sharing, I want more of us to do that on a daily basis. We all have these little struggles in our life. I hate to have to tell you this Barb, but you will have to end up telling your mom your new beliefs. I have a mother almost exactly the same. She is so anti-man it is crazy. These are the saying I heard all of my life AND STILL DO from her " You can not trust no man"  " you need to depend on yourself, cause if you try and depend on some man to do it  you will be screwed".  " You better get him, before he gets you" .  " all men cheat, , most of them can't keep a job, and they just want to control your every move"  on and on and on . Today, she is way more careful what she says to me. I respect my mom so much, and we are almost bestest friends. I just had to tell her  "mom it says in the bible , I am to be submissive to my husband period.......Do you want me to go against the bible? "  She still just keeps on and on with " so now what? you are just going to be his little slave now?"...........but you know what? I have to just say  " yeah I guess I am , unless you can find something in the bible that says to do something differently.   When Jesus comes back , your mom will  not be standing up there with you to give an account as to why you did this or that.........lol I know it is so very hard. It almost seems embarrassing . but once you do it, and stand by it..............she will finally shut up about it.......write to me any time ok? also make sure you explain everything to your husband. Tell him you are starting this new life with God and him. Tell him you are going to be the submissive wife God wants you to be. I am so happy for you and congratulations on your anniversary.....I love hearing when a couple has been together for awhile. God Bless you and your family.

  

  God bless you

  Thank you. I know I need to just stand up to her, there are times I think she uses her depression as a shield, because she knows that I won't confront her about things because of that depression. Does that make sense? I need to pray for the courage to sit down and talk to her, there are a few things that she does and says that need addressing and I need God's help talking with her.
  
  Thanks for the advice about my husband too. I wasn't sure about telling him, but I will, when he comes home this weekend. I hope we get to have some quality time together. Thanks for your words and advice.

• Keep us posted , again I say I know the feeling. I have to talk to my mom and let her know that this is my belief , in a no nonsence way, but in a very loving and respectful way too. This is your mother, God demands that she gets respect as well. I know how hard this transition is . I have made it , along with most of in here. All of a sudden God demands you change EVERYTHNG LOL but in the end you WILL SEE THOSE POSITIVE RESULTS IN YOUR MARRIAGE. It is like magic in some areas.    God Bless You

  

  God bless you

• Hello Everyone, my name is Valerie.  Last nite I was looking around for a team that would encourage me and allow me to encourage others on how to love and support our husbands God's Way, which as your intro states is so different from the world's way!  I found this team and felt a desire to join and join in the godly discussions.
  
  I live in PA, I am the mother of 2 teenage girls, one heading off to college this fall.  PTL!  My youngest will be a junior in high school this fall.  I am the foster parent of an 8 month old little boy, that if the Lord says the same we (my hubby and I ) will be adopting come this time next summer!  I have been married for 20 years  this January and can testify that it is by the grace and mercy of God that we have made it this far!  God is truly faithful!  I am 45 years old and loving it!  Let me see what else can I share about myself that will give you all a small glimpse of what makes me tick.
  
  I love God with my whole being, he is my life without him I am nothing!  I cherish His Word, it is so alive and powerful and forever true!  I love to meet new people and develop new friendships, I love, absolutely love to laugh, what an awesome gift from God! 
  
  OK I'll stop now, looking forward to meeting you and chatting with you all.  God bless!
  
  Valerie

• I don't think I ever introduced myself!!
  
  Hi. I'm May. I'm 39 and DH and I have been married 17 years. We have two children -- DD is 10, and DS is 5.
  
  We just moved from Texas to Illinois last month, so we're settling into our new home. I am a SAHM, but my kids attend school because DH isn't too keen on the homeschooling. I have fibromyalgia along with several other tie-in issues, so there are days that I'm not as productive as I should be. I believe in God's plan of submission, but when I'm in pain, I just want to crawl into bed and stay there until it stops.
  
  Anyway, that's me, a bit.

• I'm a convert to Catholicism too.  Glad to meet you.  It is a wonderful faith and the more I question it and grow in it, the more I come to understand things in it that I had problems with before.  I am sponsoring someone in RCIA this year and I am looking forward to going through RCIA, since I never did.
