Are You More Like His Mother than His Lover?

Are You More Like His Mother than His Lover? popular posts guest articles married life marital intimacy Christian wives christian husbands Unveiled Wife

Jolene Engle is one of the first bloggers I have met face to face.  She is sweet, compassionate, and a strong woman of God.  Today I have the honor of featuring her as a guest!  She has brought a great topic to discuss, challenging us wives whether we treat our husbands like his mother or his lover.  If this is something you struggle with please share in the comments below!

Jolene writes:

The need to control. That’s what we do as wives.

It’s our flesh seeping out and if we can’t get it under control, then our marital oneness will start to erode.

“And you will desire to control your husband, but he will rule over you.” Genesis 3:16 (NLT)

Here’s what mothering our men looks like:

We tell him he doesn’t know how to parent, how to handle finances, how to lead the family, or even how to buy groceries! Don’t believe me on this? Take a look around at our society and you’ll see how we’re being conditioned by the world as they tell us that men are a bunch of idiots, completely incompetent to handle even the smallest tasks.

Can you just let things go and enjoy the man you married? Read Full Article

Apathy in marriage is a silent killer of relationship.  It tears couples apart and damages the affection once held in high esteem.  Jennifer Roos is a guest today sharing how apathy affected her marriage and the pain she experienced of losing her husband’s affection.  If you can relate in any way or find encouragement through this article please share in the comments below.

Jennifer writes:

I rolled over toward the wall and pulled my knees up to my chest. I shut my eyes tightly, forcing the tears back in. The room was dark and I felt defeated by an invisible enemy called apathy.

Our “Lovestory” – A Husband & Wife’s Journey Of Adoption

Our Lovestory A Husband & Wifes Journey Of Adoption guest articles working together lovestory jewerly fundraise blended family adoption Unveiled Wife

My husband and I were recently invited to an art show; we both love art and photography, so we were excited to see different works by a handful of local artists.  As different pieces of colorful compositions caught our eyes, there was one booth that seemed to stand out.  On an adorable table setting sat small boxes of homemade button earrings with a small tag that said, “Thank you for your purchase from my shop and supporting our adoption journey! – Love Danielle”  My heart melted as I realized that this was no ordinary couple selling their art.  I had to ask about their journey!  I found out that Danielle and her husband Kyle were preparing to journey to Africa for an adoption process!  How exciting!  And I love that Danielle and Kyle were working together to raise funds for the adoption!  I immediately felt the Holy Spirit ask me to offer Danielle an opportunity to share their lovestory with the Unveiled Wife Community in hopes of inspiring those of you who are contemplating adoption or have been through the process.  I also wanted to give you the opportunity to support this family in their journey of adoption!  Danielle wrote out a glimpse of their lovestory and below that are ways that you can support them!  

Here are a picture of the earrings I bought and a photo of Danielle and I!

Are We Using The Gifts God Gives Us?

Are We Using The Gifts God Gives Us? guest articles talents Growth Gifts Evangelism Christianity Breakthrough Unveiled Wife

Rachel Atchley is our guest today, encouraging all of us to use the gifts God gives us.  Each one of us has been made with purpose and have been equipped to fulfill our purpose.  Sometimes life can be so fast-paced that we may have a tendency to stop using the gifts that God gives us.  Gifts that were meant to bless God, bless us, and bless others.  I hope that you receive the same motivation as I did after reading this article to seek out and become aware of your special gifts… and then use them!  Enjoy!

Rachel writes: 

It’s like you are in a desert—dry sand in your mouth, howling winds kicking it up to the sky, so you can’t even see a mirage in the distance. This has been my most recent experience, spiritually. I think everyone runs into this season during their relationship with God. You’re pretty sure you are “okay” with Him, so you focus your attention on other areas of your life. Read Full Article

Only in the form of nightmares.

I grew up in a Christian home, graduated from Christian school, and completed the circle by graduating from Christian college and teaching in a Christian school.   Surely with so much Bible knowledge, surely with such great parental examples, the odds of divorce would be the lowest possible.  Read Full Article

When Christ Is Your Only Common Ground

When Christ Is Your Only Common Ground guest articles Vulnerability Security mission work love Commitment Calling Unveiled Wife

This guest post was a blessing to me from the moment I received it.  Jennifer Roos, the author of this article, shares about how she met her husband as she was passionately pursing God as a missionary.  Her story resonates with me because my husband and I both served in a few African countries and Central American countries when we served together as missionaries.  She explains how God brought them together and how Christ is the foundation for their marriage!  Enjoy!

Jennifer writes:

He stood in the doorway with one hand in his pocket. He brushed his blonde hair away from his face and peered directly at me.  His reassuring confidence grasped my attention. I wanted to fall into it and experience security. I knew nothing about this stranger and yet his eyes sunk into my soul and beckoned my deepest secrets to come forth. His young, handsome face displayed a manner of perception that I had not seen before. Who was he and why was I so drawn to him?

Growing up, I lived a cushioned life. I had everything I needed. A native of New York, raised by a police officer and taught to hold fast to the securities this world has to offer; become educated, secure a career, plan for a financially comfortable future, marry, buy a home, have children and, somewhere in this rigid structure, plan for a little fun.

My mind was trained to experience the ordinary. Read Full Article

Dear God, Should I Divorce My Husband?

Dear God, Should I Divorce My Husband? guest articles trusting God Gods will divorce bickering Unveiled Wife

Divorce seems to be an accepted solution to many unhappy marriages across the globe.  Unfortunately, many of those who do divorce are disillusioned and suffer a horrible separation from their spouse.  I am so excited to share this story of one wife’s conversation with God about divorce and the answer that saved her marriage.  I think the majority of wives and husbands reach a point in their marriage where they ask, “Should I divorce?”  I know I have been there.  Hopefully, those of you who are still contemplating this question will receive the same answer and peace from God as guest writer Alba did.

Alba writes:

I have been married over 20 years.  I truly believed I was totally in God’s will by marrying my husband. We loved each other and we loved the Lord.  I thought we had a wonderful marriage because for about 15-16 years things went smoothly.  We had disagreements and arguments, but it was nothing we didn’t work out.  We have two wonderful sons who have been raised to love the Lord, go to church, and serve God.  I thought things would remain status quo and I was not expecting what we were about to face.

Our marriage got tested (as I have learned, all marriages do at some point) and I got scared. Read Full Article
