Ok, enough of me.
Here are some notable quotes from My So-Called Life as a Submissive Wife by Sara Horn:
“Maybe we’re not really supposed to be just like men. Is it such a far-out, crazy notion to think that we as women have our own special qualities that are enough to live up to without feeling this constant competition to one-up the male version of our species?”
“God’s called me to love my husband. And I realize that because I love God, I want to do what he’s called me to do. I want to love my husband. I want to love God’s way.”
“He got the job done, but on his timetable, not mine…..and maybe that was totally missing the point of submission and whole head of household concept.”
“Maybe when I want to point out what he might not be doing as our leader, I should instead focus what I could do to be more of a helper.”
“Can I ever get to a place where I see the relationship with my husband as holy because we were brought together by a holy God? And that honoring my husband and being intentional in how I treat him, selflessly and to the best of my ability, is one way to also honor and be intentional in how I serve God. Not honoring my husband as if he is God, but honoring him because God has placed him in my life, and God’s Word says I should.”
“Marriage is about two people, but it’s also about two relationships. My relationship with God and my relationship with my husband. As I grow closer to God, my desire should also be to grow closer to my husband.”
Here’s an excerpt from today’s episode:
We don’t fall so in love with our husbands that we want a better relationship with God. Instead, we fall so in love with God that we seek to be better in our relationships with our husbands.
