Quoting Quiverfull: Strange Women?

Quoting Quiverfull: Strange Women? September 22, 2017

Lori Alexanders Brainby Lori Alexander from The Transformed Wife – Beware of Strange Women

Editor’s note: The title of Lori’s post involves β€˜strange women’, but the post itself is all about what a woman should not do to prevent a divorce and blaming women for divorce. In the last small unquoted bit Lori finally mentions strange women as in to pray and fight for your husband if he strays into the arms and other parts of a strange woman. Also snipped out is the huge number of quotes from various old concordances.

There are many strange women who are forsaking and divorcing their husbands today and forgetting the covenant they made with their husbands. Many more women are divorcing their husbands than husbands divorcing their wives and the reasons are all too common: β€œI am not happy” or β€œWe were incompatible” or β€œHe drank too much” or β€œHe watched porn” or any number of reasons but not one of them is a biblical reason to divorce.

Don’t allow anything into your thought life or actions that will cause a schism between you and your husband. Watch for those little foxes that spoil the vine, such as a disrespectful attitude towards him, critical and negative thoughts about him, questioning and even rebelling against his decisions, or undermining his authority in the home by usurping it and doing things your way.

I seriously doubt many wives have given themselves up to be β€œruled and governed” (as Gill’s Exposition stated in the comments above) by their husbands even though this is what the Lord calls them to do. God has ordained wives to be their husband’s help meet and not vice versa. Our main ministry in life is to our husbands to make their lives as good as we can and help their lives to be easier. Our husbands are the decision makers and we are called to obey and support these decisions joyfully and willingly, just as we do the Lord’s decisions and commands to us.
