I don't see any posts in this forum? Is it just my browser?

I have this book.

H has the counterpart, the Power of a Praying Husband. I made sure he took it when he took his stuff!

For all the good it has done.

Well it is good "One Prayer At A Time" (p22) to make me feel better.

I was quite shocked when I logged on and there were so few posts. I have not logged on for about 18months now but his praying force got me through a lot.

Where is everyone

Pray for me I started Plan A yesterday and intend to have it last the 6 weeks, but it's hard and I need prayer to back it up. I believe god wants this. This change in me, even if we don't make it back together.

Hi everyone! I'm new here. I have this book too.

How can we get started with a Bible study?

I'm up for a bible study if you want to start one <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

Well, this is my first time here and I don't see any posts that are on any specific topic. I guess it would be best to start one.

I think one of the main things that I need clarification on is when a wife is to follow her h lead in most matters. Not that she should be subserviant or anything, but that she should allow him to be the final decision maker in the house. At times I don't always agree with that, but I also find it kind of creates tension. I know that there are areas in the bible that document the behavior of a wife in private and in public.

There are a lot of us 'empowered' women out here, but how do you arrive at a happy medium with a centered approach without giving yourself away or just giving in? I rarely have outbursts with my h because I know that it would lead to more tension in our already stressed relationship. However, he has had many hurtful words and behavior displays not only in public, but private. I try to forgive him for this, and move on realizing that in some way, perhaps I'm responsible for his reaction. Any words of scriptual advice are appreciated.

I have this book. And have marked the prayers that I need to recite that pertain specifically to my husband.

I am also a newly saved christian and from what I have learned, by being submissive to your husband you are following God's natural order and there fore you are not giving yourself away or giving in, to your husband, but you are submitting yourself to God's will. If you can look at it that way it may be easier to digest. God knows our husbands may not at the moment be deserving of this level of respect but this is what we as godly women and wives are called to do. This does not mean you can't have an opinion about an issue. What it means is that if there is a decision to be made and the two of you do not agree you are to defer to your husband, without voicing your disagreement or complying with a grudge. In so far as the empowered women out there, I was one of them until my husband decided that was not what he wanted. Empowerment is lonely. Submitting to a husband who loves and respects God first, and then his wife and children is pure joy. That is what I am praying and believing God to do for my marriage.
