I thought her book was extreme, too. I mean reverence my husband??? Let me tell you, it was only when I had nothing left to lose that I tried applying the principles. My husband doesn’t fit the mold exactly either … but I can safely say that it’s all real. What she said is truth, and in God’s time, He will open our eyes. Really, it’s enough to make a woman weep when she discovers the ways she has hurt her mighty man … and in so doing, heaped enormous pain on her own head. I know I wept … I can only thank God for a second chance.

Debi,
You and Michael need to keep up the OUTSTANDING WORK God is using you for in the marriage today. Thanks for the inspiring words above. I lost my mother in 2004 at 57 years old. Stephanie and I have been married now for 11 years in May. These words and most especially the reminder about her (my wife) being my heir in the “grace of life” inspires me to keep pressing toward the mark of the high calling every husband needs to have “love your wife and give yourself for her.” Yours and Michael’s words have blessed my marriage and the upbringing of my family for years. I praise God for being “bold as a lion.” Stand firm in the areas God has given each of you in loving “His” church and He (Christ) will give you back just as He promised. Thanks for running such a fast race. If I was a good runner, I still would not be able to keep up with your pace. Thanks for leaving some of us in the dust. It helps keeping us running. I just don’t like the taste of dirt! Please tell Michael I am praying for Him. Philemon 1:4

Whether true or false…it seams from reading over much of the “help meet” literature…that bondage within a marriage falls heavily on a women’s shoulders…and that very little is said about healthy communication. My husband and I have an extremely close and healthy relationship. We both respect each other and love each other deeply, and have very close relationships with our Lord. We are both artists and my husband is not your typical macho man. He is very sensitive and a great listener. I do not feel this makes him less of a man of God. It just makes him a different kind of man. I feel as if it is very damaging when quick judgement is passed when all relationships do not fit in a neat tidy package. We are all humans and being a human is a messy business. I understand what you’re getting at and respect parts of it…but I do not agree with some of the legalism I have witnessed upon reading much of your literature.

It is amazing to me that so many “Christian” women choose to remain in the bondage of their own making. Once again, Satan succeeds as the destroyer when they manipulate the glorious, liberating Word of God to their own supposed benefit instead of taking it at it’s intended value to use as a mirror to see themselves as they truly are. I read “Created…” many years ago and it was journey of self-discovery and understanding. Thank you, Pearls, for your continued commitment to God’s divine purpose for marriage and family. I think I’ll pull that book out and read it again!
