No Longer Quivering
by Lori Alexander from The Transformed Wife – Good or Brawling Wife: It’s Your Choice
Editor’s note: Here we are again with Lori claiming that anyone not living like her is an uncontrolled violent hater and brawling women. I dispute that. I think the type of woman she is describing here is rare indeed, no matter what religion they follow. The only ones I’ve seen like this are the super frustrated, like Lori admits she was for many years.
Brawling means to quarrel. God does not want us to quarrel. He wants us to be at peace with each other and this is why He designed for the man to be the head over his wife and the wife to submit to her husband. When couples are following His prescription for them, there is peace. There is one decision maker who is the leader and one follower. It’s perfect and it brings peace with no arguing.
Whenever I hear from a woman who tells me that they argue a lot, I tell her to stop. As she argues with her husband, she is sinning by not being under her husband’s leadership. She needs to learn to state her opinion and then let it go without arguing her point. It is better to not get her way, live at peace with her husband, and allow him to make the decisions than getting her way, living in turmoil, and disobeying God.
Don’t lecture or scold him, which is easy to do, because you aren’t his leader. If you are prone to “violent passions” or “storming language” or “thundering voice” you need to be in the Word daily and allow Him to transform you into a godly woman who has control of her passions, language, and voice. Stop watching disgusting TV shows because bad company corrupts good morals and instead dwell on the lovely, the good, the pure, and the holy. Fill your mind and home with good things.
QUOTING QUIVERFULL is a regular feature of NLQ – we present the actual words of noted Quiverfull leaders, cultural enforcers and those that seek to keep women submitted to men and ask our readers: What do you think? Agree? Disagree? This is the place to state your opinion.
