I didn’t expect to find homeschooling tips here, but yesterday, on our first day back for the year here in Australia, your nerf gun multiplication game was a lifesaver with my reluctant student! Thanks!

I’d heard of that concept, but didn’t have a name for it. Interesting. Thanks!

Men benefit greatly from reflecting deeply on their version of submission to their wives as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her. Christ came to serve not to be serve, taught great leadership came through the greatness of service, and had the sole focus on earth of rescuing and caring for his bride. He did nothing of out of his selfish desires. As a man, and as a former pastor and missionary, this is what I emphasized in weddings and pre-marital counseling. For 3 decades of marriage I did OK at this, at best, but I have made great strides recently of putting my wife first in everything. I wish I had learned this sooner. We are growing in happiness, and my leadership of the home is not threatened by it.

Participants ‘consent’ to decisions. That means it doesn’t have to be the decision you’d choose, but it is one in your range of tolerance. Basically, you’re saying it’s not perfect/ideal, but you can live with it.

Some of the little things around the house that used to annoy me no longer seem to matter when I view them in this light. This results in me submitting to my husband more often, which has helped him feel more respected, and that means he acts (even) more loving toward me.

That’s a great idea! I should try the shooting thing with my younger elementary Sunday school class. I use the scripture typer app. I don’t quite see myself shooting at post-its all around the apartment. But the little boys should like that a lot. Thanks!
