Thanks
by: Annette Schwab

Samantha,

I am excited that you are seeking the Lord on issues that you feel need worked through. It is great that you can identify your area of struggle. Thanks for your transparency and humbleness to ask for prayer in this area. Proverbs 11:2 in the NIV bible encourages me when I feel shame. God Bless You, Annette

Want To Be Prepared
by: Samantha

Thanks for the lesson. One of my comments is on the part written in the lesson -
When we are harboring guilt, unforgiveness, or bitterness, we end up not showing the real us to those around us. We end up carrying excess baggage which was never Jesus' intention for us.

I believe this is because of shame.

Another comment I want to make is that I know for sure is preparing me to be a wife. I know I have to deal with shame. please pray for me.

Tahisha,

Thanks for reading the article I wrote and for leaving your comments. My heart goes out to you because I know this has to be tough for you. It definitely is not easy to be in a relationship where you feel unappreciated. I want to commend you for staying in your marriage and working at it I know this is pleasing to God.

The scriptures that came to my mind for you to meditate on are listed below:
1 Peter 3:1-6 (NIV)
Wives, in the same way be submissive to your husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, when they see the purity and reverence of your lives. Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight. For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to make themselves beautiful. They were submissive to their own husbands, like Sarah, who obeyed Abraham and called him her master. You are her daughters if you do what is right and do not give way to fear.

Save Your Christian Marriage
by: Ameerah

Hi Tahisha,

My name is Ameerah and I'm the founder of The Hem Bible Studies. When I read your response to Annette article, the first thing that came to my mind is a book that I would highly recommend for you. It's called Save Your Christian Marriage.

I highly recommend this book because it is really the closest you can come to Christian marriage counseling without actually sitting in an office. And, it comes with email counseling with the author.

You can find more about the book here.

I pray that God can use it to guide you in repairing your marriage and using it to bring Him glory.

God Bless,
Ameerah

What If...?
by: Tahisha

I am married to a man that swept me off of my feet when we met back in 2003. I bore our 1st child together (I was a single mother of a 3yr old already) and then we got married in 2005. I found out some things about his past that he outright lied to me about but I chose to forgive him in spite of the pain and betrayal that I felt. We have since had 2 more children making our brood a total of 4: 2 girls, 2 boys and I really am trying to be the loyal, caring, devoted, loving wife God says I am to be...but...my husband seems to have 26 different personalities. What if I've done ABSOLUTELY ALL that I can in the aspect of "receiving" him and he still refuses to show equal (even if just a little) respect for me as his wife? I have given it to God once and then again continuously for at least 1yr and all seemed to be well but whenever my father-in-law visits, or I state a fact about something he opinionatetly disagrees with (not to argue), or my parenting views are undermined by him "because he knows best" things take an awesome turn for the worst. What do I do then? How can I receive when I'm doing ALL of the giving? Please direct my attention to something that God has for me in this matter that I can read and learn from the Bible, apply it into my life, and "not give up" on my husband. What if the Word of God seems to fail in my marriage no matter how hard I try?
