This video was made with one GIANT assumption in mind - that the HUSBAND is ALSO following HIS role as a tender loving shepherd of his wife's heart. There are a lot of extenuating situations we left OUT of this video (such as abuse, etc). We obviously don't endorse such things, and there is a time (to be used only in situations of great urgency) for a wife to separate from a dangerous husband. Marriage is a sacred and binding thing, and not something that we take lightly, so please bear that in mind as you comment below :) Blessings!
I think we get caught up on the word "submission", because that word - to many women - implies blind obedience without any promise of respect or care by the husband. Instead of submission, I prefer the word devotion. I'm devoted to my husband and our marriage. I'm devoted to being his marriage partner and taking my vows seriously. Devotion, to me, implies responsibility and love - which is what our vows are intended to mean. Just my thoughts.
Working on this... I was not raised with these virtues at all... Both my husband and I come from broken homes and it's just miraculous that We stood together and have been together for 18 years and Married 15 with 8 blessings! God is good and can change many hearts.
and you are such a darling! I love how you don't need makeup or exposed hair, but your spirit is so sweet, you are just beautiful! I really admire you!!!
I think we all get caught up in understanding what the word “submit” means in the scripture. It isn’t being a doormat. It is a position of strength because it helps the husband be a better man, a follower of Jesus. You are a helpmate. In addition, the husband also helps the wife be a better follower of Christ.
In seven minutes you summed it up beautifully. I am in my 60's and have been married 43 years knowing the Father 42 of those years. This was a good reminder and convicted me in some areas. Thank you The flowers are beautiful
I think your a great family , I was a good wife but had a abusive cheating spouse , so just being single and caring for my disabled child and knowing that God doesn't want me to be beaten and cheated on , so I have peace knowing I tried and forgave but now I'm living life simply single ,because otherwise I might have been killed by the abuse and then how could I help others, good testimony, and I pray for the ex that he finds God, I pray everyone finds God with God we are never alone
I’m so sorry you went through that, my ex was a narcissist cheater who was emotionally abusive to my son and I. I stayed faithful and had every intention believing he would come to his senses. He left for a younger woman with no children (who can’t have children) and married her. I do not hate him, I pray he finds God and returns to that relationship he once had wanting to preach and witness to the world. My fiancé says based on what he knows as a psychology major, it ex hadn’t left us when he did he would’ve killed us, it was God protecting us.
FrugalMommaNTheWoods yes God is for all of us , he treated people individually , God always knows what is right and good for us..... God bless you sister
This was a wonderful and encouraging video. I feel my boyfriend and I are approaching closer and closer to marriage and videos such as these are really helping me to prepare my heart. I thank you and God bless you, Tiny Notes From Home.💓
Very encouraging video Lindsay! I am in my 60,'s nd still struggle sometimes but you reminded me to pray for my husband and I haven't been doing that enough. God knows best and thank you for the reminder. We're never to old to be encouraged by younger women!
You published this wonderful important message right on my birthday, I see this as a kind and teaching sign for me, because I am still a stubborn wife which should be changed. Thank you!
Thank you for your encouraging words of how to be a great wife . Love your testimony . It makes me realize how imperfect I am to get into the word of God , to strengthen my marriage of 59 years. I am still learning wisdom from Gods word all the time
I feel God really wanted me to hear this. Thank you for your humble way of sharing. I've been married 32 years and I'm definitely still learning. Thank the Lord that He is so patient with me. God is so good.
God says to honor your husband and I do. Being a help mate is so important. I am blessed that he pitches in when there is something I can't do or need help with. I have so much peace with how God has taught me to be a good wife and blessed me with a wonderful husband
Homestead Blessings you should respect your husband and he honour you. Both very closely related and with subtle differences. Sometimes the wife will know better sometimes the husband. They should both work together with the husband making the final decision. I wish Bracken would make a video on his place as a husband.
Thank you for this encouragment! We are on the same road. Last week the Lord showed me that I cannot say "I love you" to my husband and at the same time not submit to him (by for example expecting him to help me or saying unfriendly words or just show him how stressed I am)! Thank you and God bless you! A wife and mother of 2 boys from Germany Jesus said: "And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?" Luke 6,46
This simple message mould’s me in several areas of my life. This is one god fearing family. I really adore their way of honouring God in all they do . Stay blessed. Love you all
Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Hello there, my name is Nemah from the Philippines and I’m a Christian,too. I subscribed in your youtube channel Sounds like reign a few months ago and I love your every rendition of the Christian songs. I appreciate much your combinations of musical instruments and how it makes the song so beautiful and how it touches my heart deeply. And now I just subscribed to this another channel you have. I’m so blessed on hearing your testimonies, encouragement and challenges in Christian faith. And I love how every member of the family become part of it. May God Bless you more as you become more blessings to other people. May your faith shine and reach out for those who are still lost.
What a wonderful video! Thank you so much for taking the time and energy to make this video and to share your thoughts on this ☀️ So thankful for you guys 🌷
You are the most Godly woman and wife I've ever come to 'know'. Your love for Jesus, Brackin and your boys, shines through you Lindsay. I'm much older and separated from my husband for 13 years. He does not want to reconcile and has gone his own way. But I pray for him. And so I turn to God and submit to Him. You are all such an encouragement and blessing to me, but especially you. I love your song 'Give me Jesus', for that is the cry and desire of my heart too. God bless you.
I've just come across your RUclips episodes lately and do enjoy them. We've had 6 children in our home but half of them were fostered so it's fun to see your family living life together. I especially love your working together in music. Beautiful voices!!
Great testimony! In this modern world, many refuse to submit to God, much less their husbands. Thank you for this reminder of a godly wife. That is my desire as well. May God continue to bless you and your family as you minister to others.🌷🌻🌺
Sometimes I feel discouraged or just down especially as a woman but when I watch your channel especially seeing and hearing Lindsay it uplifts my spirit and I feel encouraged again. I see a beautiful and gentle, meek woman and I love that she does not conform to the world, it blesses me so much ❤️
After thirty three years, I am getting this. We argued for years which church to go to and end up going nowhere. The children, now grown, do not believe. Best to be on the same level spiritually for starts. SO important!
Thank you, beautiful words and video. My husband is not saved and it can be difficult at times, but you’re right, we can still have an influence; I’m praying continually for him. Bless you- Louise 🙏🏻
This is my favorite Tiny Notes vlog to date. Much love, grace and peace to you all! Lindsay, you said it right when you said that when we submit to God and obey His word, our lives emit a sweet fragrance, to God, to our husbands, our children and also to the watching world! I will add that God has taught me to be PATIENT! Husbands, children, parents, friends, bosses, neighbors, etc, don't change overnight just because we offer them grace, respect, love and gentleness. I hope to encourage the wives and single women who feel they will never have this kind of marriage...PRESS IN, like Lindsay says. Never give up your hope in Christ, because He is always faithful, always with you, protecting you and delivering you, teaching you and listening to you. Praise God for His love for us!
Thank you Lindsay, for sharing your testimony with us. It really has encouraged my heart. My Our Heavenly Father continue to Bless you and your beautiful family.
I love your testimony and your appearance alone without speaking reflects a great impression of God’s spirit over you. My prayers are with you. Stay blessed🙏🙏
Thank you, Lindsay. I really appreciate the candid comments about your experience. I know I've failed my husband in so many ways. In a way, my failures have helped me to grow closer to both my husband and The Lord. Growing in this area every day is important to me and your insight is a blessing. Thanks again for taking the time to share.
It's really difficult for me to understand and accept submission. I've seen my mother being the provider and the caretaker, because my dad was too busy pursuing his own interests and cheating on her, rather than caring for his family and respecting his wife. I'm fortunate to have met a man who respects and loves me and I would submit to him out of love and also because we both love Jesus enough to at least try to follow His way and His guidance. I pray that all who come from dysfunctional families are inspired by your testimony, Lindsay. I know I am 😊
Thank you for your testimony, your honesty, your words of wisdom and encouragement. You have a beautiful voice and soul. You have touched me deeply. Thank you. God bless.
I am not religious at all but spiritual. However, I find your videos very inspiring and encouraging to become a better person in general. So, thank you!
It's a blessing to tune into this ministry for our Lord Jesus. He clothes our lives in His grace and peace as we do His will and honor Him by obeying His Word. Thank you for your encouragement and gentle reminder.
Thank you so much for this. I am very happy and satisfied being my husband's help mate and being a homemaker and mother of two. God bless you and yours.
I have great respect for Lindsay and her commitment to all that she holds dear. I live a very different life, and have come to my sense of equality and women’s roles in the world from my experiences. I am humbled by the beauty of what you both make look so effortless in a way that I know from experience is not effortless. Being true to yourselves through the lense of the Spirit is a beautiful thing to see.
Wow! What a wonderful message! We were never taught what a Godly marriage was. We once lived in the world with Drugs, Sex, Alcohol, Parties and doing everything else evil! God saved us and our marriage. Thank you Jesus! 20 years later we are letting God lead us and our family. Living our marriage how God directs us too. So much Love, respect and peace now. We've been forgiven for all the wrongs and now live serving Jesus and teaching our children to live for him too. God is so good. Thank you for sharing this! Your a true blessing!💖♥️
A woman with a meek and quiet spirit, yes! ...that is the real Beauty of a woman, and a wife, and pleasing to GOD IN Christ. And i think the woman on this video is *beautiful, and modestly attired.💖💕 This is so refreshing and inspiring, especially in these days/Times when, [maybe], some women forget to button up their first 6 buttons on their blouses before leaving their house, or taking a photo/video.....But i digress on that. And Peace to this adorable family on this video, "Tiny Notes From Home".💕
This is beautiful :-) thank you for just stressing the truth :-) and explaining how just being obedient to the Lord, is the real way to success in marriage.
HI Stephanie, Alicia gave you good advice. I just want to encourage you, too, because I have struggled with taking the lead or trying to at times. It is my natural way, too, and it was so deeply rooted in me ( we had been married for 15 yrs before we came into a relationship with Christ, so I was set in my ways and he was used to it ). I had a desire to change and the Lord led me through some tough exercises at times to remodel my natural way. 21 yrs later I am still challenged at times, fighting that natural tendency in me, but I really love seeing my husband as the head of our family, as Christ is the church and that makes it easier to question myself when I find myself in opposition to him on certain things. He loves hearing my ideas and wants my views, but we both know that God wants him to have the final say. So, just tell the Lord how you want this and always talk to Him when you are in opposition to something and wisdom and strength will come. Blessings! Joanie
Great way to give other young women, not only the information, but an example to follow! I think I will share this video to my 2 granddaughters if that's okay. They both have children and need to be exposed to more meaningful ways to abide in God's will and be a Godly example to my great-grandkids. I pray this will inspire them.
This is just what we've been studying over the past year & half... i don't care what others say, when u stick to scripture no matter what situation, God can use a beautiful wife (beautiful as in on the inside) and can win a husband not living for the Lord. This reminds me of your last anniversary vlog - while still on the sounds like rain channel - where u said that if a wife does her role it makes the man's role easier, and if a man does his role it makes the wifes role easier. Submission is ONLY stopped with the words - as unto the Lord, as is fitting in the Lord. So love you guys, thank you.
God bless you for your faithfulness. Be strong and of good courage. You are such a beautiful woman, inside and out. You are such a encouragement to all.
The same people who think I’m ridiculous for believing in submission in fact are the same who scold me for not controlling my husband They cannot understand the truth I finally decided to not hang out with these women who have husbands who don’t really like to come home to them It took years but my husband did do some important changes not because I controlled him but because I learned self control from God’s spirit and my husband had nobody to fight with or harass so one month I realized he was different and the relationship got easier He says he doesn’t know why he changed ( he’s an unbeliever)
I know nothing about marriage even though I could have been, but the relationship I was in didn't work out. Back then I was so naive, and didn't really knew what love was, neither did I know what self worth meant. Can't say I was physically abused, but I was in other ways. I was stiffled when it came to expressing myself, I was cheated on and pretty much rejected. I never knew how to honor a man because I never had a dad around me. Neither do I blame my dad because I have forgiven him for not being in my life. I'm happy when the Lord expressed his plans for me. He valued me and took me up and cleaned me off. Ministered to my soul and I now know what self worth is. I say this to say to all the singles and those about to get married that; let God chose your spouse and be patient. Once he is in the center of that relationship, he will hold the tides that binds, teach and mend in good times and bad. Don't know how I reached here but I just had to share. Lindsay, thanks for sharing and caring. Us women need to learn more about the expectations of wives towards her husband.
This was very moving to me. We are new Christian's, about 1 year old and I have always treated my husband like I know best. I dont want that anymore. I wasn't brought up the way I should have been. Mum cheated on dad n then divorced him when I was 7 or 8 years old then dragged me around , ended up having 3 step dads over space of about 7 years.
Thank you Lindsey for your beautiful words of encouragement! I know what you say is true and your example is endearing and moves me to try again! May God richly bless your marriage! Psalm 133
Such great wisdom from such a great lady! It challenged me to me more submissive to my husband who, after ten years, still lovingly calls me "bossy bride."
This video is so important to me. It would be so nice if you could do more videos like this. About being a good wife, good couple, good friend... I wish you all the best from Austria. Be blessed
I did a bible study a few years back, and I used a book called "The Excellent Wife".That was a turning point for me. Cant remember who the author was. But, in that time of studying, had a lot of ouches, amens and, a whole bunch of emotions in between. But I kept studying and praying and finally it all came together. And it was glorious! I used to think men used that word- "submit" as a control thing. But God showed me otherwise. Life is better and I am at peace, because I know He's with me.
The Excellent Wife is usually really distorted. She’s the wife of an incredibly rich guy because she has a team of spinning and weaving women making cloth for profit, and she isn’t to haughty to be above working hands-on constantly with them. She’s trading that undyed cloth for money to get the best meats (food from afar-“food” is the word for wild game) and for more luxurious clothing (scarlet and purple) and is so business savvy that she runs a real estate investment company without her husband’s input because he trusts her that much. And she makes so much money he’s semiretired and hanging out with the elders. She also handles all the charity. That’s an incredibly admirable woman. But even as a company owner myself...I can’t live up to that!!!
You are totally on track. Submitting to God in His Word!! Sometimes the peace and the joy do come with our obedience but remember Jesus agony in the Garden as He sought to obey and submit to the will of God. A feeling is not what we strive for but glory to God is our motivation. You are growing in godly character that is evidence of the Holy Spirit's work! Praise the Lord! And may He continue to grow you into Jesus likeness!!
Those flowers are also beautiful! Even more beautiful when put together! Created by the masterful designer! Cared and provided for by the most loving Father in Heaven! Yes!!! We all come into marriage with expectations... Its when we delight in the Lord (obeying His design for our personal marriage and lives - especially when we are feeling our spouse does not deserve our love or respect in the moment relying on His strength and wisdom), that we truly can enjoy the desires of our hearts!!! Being thankful for our spouse is of utmost importance for this!! Thank you for your willingness to grow in your marriage and for the example you are to so many! May the Lord continually bless you both as you raise your children in Him and follow His paths for your lives!!! - Liz Rosenbaum
To be honest, I don't really understand how the role of husband and wife is really all that different. Loving your wife as Christ loved the Church will surely involve a lot of sacrifice and submission on the husband's part as well. Love is about willing the good of the other, and to make a marriage work, submitting to each other is needed. I know that all this comes the Bible, but it really seems that St. Paul is trying to explain what a Christian marriage would look like in the patriarchal society of the time. He is essentially saying the same to both husbands and wives, just with a different emphasis.
Thank you so much for sharing your journey. You are such a blessing and role model to many of a Godly wife. May God continue to bless you and your beautiful family.
Helpful words of encouragement ! Thanks sister Lindsay. You surely are a blessing to your husband. God bless you and your family to be a blessing to many😍😍
Doing a Biblical study of the Greek word and the Hebrew words related to submit can really set in mind a different thing. Submission and the Biblical model is beautiful when it is followed. lindsey, thanks for sharing your journey. I love the way you share, humbly and gently. This is an area I continue to grow in. I can tell your faith fuels your walk.

That is so well said Vickie.
I'm not yet married but God is teaching me and preparing me through these videos. Thank you sister. God bless you and your family 💛
I experience the same ! :)
Working on this... I was not raised with these virtues at all... Both my husband and I come from broken homes and it's just miraculous that We stood together and have been together for 18 years and Married 15 with 8 blessings! God is good and can change many hearts.

It's like everytime I view a video from this family I want to hit the subscribe button all over again! They are truly a blessing to me.
A blessing they are indeed. Make the scriptures more lively, and make life more meaningful.
SHE IS SO PRETTY, WITH HER HEADCOVERING!!!
She's pretty with it too
Honestly she looks adorable ❤️😍💗💕

Gerry , I agree!
Excellent stated! Helpmeet is my fiancé’s favorite word of reference, he reminds me I’m not his doormat.
Perfectly said.
In seven minutes you summed it up beautifully. I am in my 60's and have been married 43 years knowing the Father 42 of those years. This was a good reminder and convicted me in some areas. Thank you The flowers are beautiful
I think your a great family , I was a good wife but had a abusive cheating spouse , so just being single and caring for my disabled child and knowing that God doesn't want me to be beaten and cheated on , so I have peace knowing I tried and forgave but now I'm living life simply single ,because otherwise I might have been killed by the abuse and then how could I help others, good testimony, and I pray for the ex that he finds God, I pray everyone finds God with God we are never alone
FrugalMomma - nice name! may god give you what your heart needs to be better than WITHOUT going through hardship. It is his promise. He cannot lie.
I’m so sorry you went through that, my ex was a narcissist cheater who was emotionally abusive to my son and I. I stayed faithful and had every intention believing he would come to his senses. He left for a younger woman with no children (who can’t have children) and married her.

Yes, many abusive men out there, and it is difficult ~
FrugalMommaNTheWoods yes God is for all of us , he treated people individually , God always knows what is right and good for us..... God bless you sister
Sorry about what u went threw. I have been there myself. Jesus loves u. Xx
This was a wonderful and encouraging video. I feel my boyfriend and I are approaching closer and closer to marriage and videos such as these are really helping me to prepare my heart. I thank you and God bless you, Tiny Notes From Home.💓
You’re so sweet Lindsay, you have such a lovely kind face.
I am so in love with this family! I love looking at Lindsay's beautiful lovely face you can tell she is loved by God and has a great anointing.
Dear sister, you are a bright crown on your husband's head, an amazing wife and homemaker. Your example shines bright as the sun for all to see.
Very encouraging video Lindsay! I am in my 60,'s nd still struggle sometimes but you reminded me to pray for my husband and I haven't been doing that enough. God knows best and thank you for the reminder. We're never to old to be encouraged by younger women!

Agree. Really in today's world we are more in need to have like this good example family.
Indeed!
Thank-you! As a new wife I sometimes find it hard to submit to my husband. This is encouraging. Glory to God. 💖
Beautiful video. Thanks for taking the time to record it for the world to see.

Thank you Lindsay, for sharing your testimony with us. It really has encouraged my heart. My Our Heavenly Father continue to Bless you and your beautiful family.
Prayer and humbleness is truly the answer ❤️
Thanks for your testimony!
You are beautiful!
I love your family especially your sons!
May God bless you as a wife and mom!
This was beautiful & perfect. Much needed & reminder. Thank you so much!!
I love your testimony and your appearance alone without speaking reflects a great impression of God’s spirit over you. My prayers are with you. Stay blessed🙏🙏
I too was on the similar journey as you Lindsey and found as I walk closer to God the better I was able to handle my role, keep up the good work!😀

Your family is such a huge blessing to this world🥰✨🌈 Thanks for existing🙏 God bless you all forevermore🌹
Thank you Lindsay for your testimony as a wife. It’s very helpful as one who’s been married for only months and in her 50’s!
It's really difficult for me to understand and accept submission. I've seen my mother being the provider and the caretaker, because my dad was too busy pursuing his own interests and cheating on her, rather than caring for his family and respecting his wife. I'm fortunate to have met a man who respects and loves me and I would submit to him out of love and also because we both love Jesus enough to at least try to follow His way and His guidance. I pray that all who come from dysfunctional families are inspired by your testimony, Lindsay. I know I am 😊
Thank you. Your teaching and testimony are so refreshing. I will go through Ephesians refreshed from this!!!
I love this so much!!! I watched it twice!! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for your testimony, your honesty, your words of wisdom and encouragement. You have a beautiful voice and soul. You have touched me deeply. Thank you. God bless.
Thank you Sister! God's timing is incredible. Bless you!
I am not religious at all but spiritual. However, I find your videos very inspiring and encouraging to become a better person in general. So, thank you!
It's a blessing to tune into this ministry for our Lord Jesus. He clothes our lives in His grace and peace as we do His will and honor Him by obeying His Word. Thank you for your encouragement and gentle reminder.
Thank you so much. I find myself struggling with this. Each day is a chance to wake up and give it my best.
Thank you so much for this. I am very happy and satisfied being my husband's help mate and being a homemaker and mother of two. God bless you and yours.
You will never be sorry for your faithfulness in the role of a wife and mother. God richly bless you.
I have shared your video on my social networking site with fellow believers. Thanks for making this.
Beautiful way to teach and encourage wives Biblically. Such a sweet Spirit
I admire you Lindsey very dearly as a wife
You have encouraged us, Lindsey. Thank you for this, your words are true and brave in this day and age.
My love for this family is on another level 💖
I have great respect for Lindsay and her commitment to all that she holds dear. I live a very different life, and have come to my sense of equality and women’s roles in the world from my experiences. I am humbled by the beauty of what you both make look so effortless in a way that I know from experience is not effortless. Being true to yourselves through the lense of the Spirit is a beautiful thing to see.
Wow! What a wonderful message! We were never taught what a Godly marriage was. We once lived in the world with Drugs, Sex, Alcohol, Parties and doing everything else evil! God saved us and our marriage. Thank you Jesus! 20 years later we are letting God lead us and our family. Living our marriage how God directs us too. So much Love, respect and peace now. We've been forgiven for all the wrongs and now live serving Jesus and teaching our children to live for him too. God is so good. Thank you for sharing this! Your a true blessing!💖♥️
Proverbs 31 v 26 ‘She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue’. What a joy, thank you my Dear!
A woman with a meek and quiet spirit, yes! ...that is the real Beauty of a woman, and a wife, and pleasing to GOD IN Christ. And i think the woman on this video is *beautiful, and modestly attired.💖💕 This is so refreshing and inspiring, especially in these days/Times when, [maybe], some women forget to button up their first 6 buttons on their blouses before leaving their house, or taking a photo/video.....But i digress on that. And Peace to this adorable family on this video, "Tiny Notes From Home".💕
This is beautiful :-) thank you for just stressing the truth :-) and explaining how just being obedient to the Lord, is the real way to success in marriage.
I admire your meek and quiet spirit. I'm not naturally that way. Do you have any wisdom for me to work toward those virtues?
HI Stephanie,
Alicia gave you good advice. I just want to encourage you, too, because I have struggled with taking the lead or trying to at times. It is my natural way, too, and it was so deeply rooted in me ( we had been married for 15 yrs before we came into a relationship with Christ, so I was set in my ways and he was used to it ). I had a desire to change and the Lord led me through some tough exercises at times to remodel my natural way. 21 yrs later I am still challenged at times, fighting that natural tendency in me, but I really love seeing my husband as the head of our family, as Christ is the church and that makes it easier to question myself when I find myself in opposition to him on certain things. He loves hearing my ideas and wants my views, but we both know that God wants him to have the final say. So, just tell the Lord how you want this and always talk to Him when you are in opposition to something and wisdom and strength will come.
Blessings!
Joanie
Yes, please! Same here.
Alicia Webster Thanks for sharing this, Alicia Webster, i thought you were talking about me! 😅
Joan Wilson Thanks Joan Wilson! I needed this, too. ☺
God can change our personalities, I actually have suffered terribly with codependency and low self worth but the love of Jesus is changing my heart.
Thank you, this is so helpful for me as a new wife. God bless you and your family 😊🙏🏽
Great way to give other young women, not only the information, but an example to follow! I think I will share this video to my 2 granddaughters if that's okay. They both have children and need to be exposed to more meaningful ways to abide in God's will and be a Godly example to my great-grandkids. I pray this will inspire them.
This is just what we've been studying over the past year & half... i don't care what others say, when u stick to scripture no matter what situation, God can use a beautiful wife (beautiful as in on the inside) and can win a husband not living for the Lord. This reminds me of your last anniversary vlog - while still on the sounds like rain channel - where u said that if a wife does her role it makes the man's role easier, and if a man does his role it makes the wifes role easier. Submission is ONLY stopped with the words - as unto the Lord, as is fitting in the Lord. So love you guys, thank you.
Amen! Thank you for your kind words. God bless you xx
You are just so sweet...
God bless you and your family.
Your husband is truly blessed!
🙏💕
Thank you so much for sharing, I love following you I learn so much from you,your such a blessing, God bless you, have a wonderful day 💖💕
Thanku so much. God bless u all
God bless you for your faithfulness. Be strong and of good courage. You are such a beautiful woman, inside and out. You are such a encouragement to all.
The same people who think I’m ridiculous for believing in submission in fact are the same who scold me for not controlling my husband
They cannot understand the truth
I finally decided to not hang out with these women who have husbands who don’t really like to come home to them
It took years but my husband did do some important changes not because I controlled him but because I learned self control from God’s spirit and my husband had nobody to fight with or harass
so one month I realized he was different and the relationship got easier
He says he doesn’t know why he changed ( he’s an unbeliever)
What a testimony! God bless your family
Beautifully said Lindsay. God bless
I know nothing about marriage even though I could have been, but the relationship I was in didn't work out. Back then I was so naive, and didn't really knew what love was, neither did I know what self worth meant. Can't say I was physically abused, but I was in other ways. I was stiffled when it came to expressing myself, I was cheated on and pretty much rejected. I never knew how to honor a man because I never had a dad around me. Neither do I blame my dad because I have forgiven him for not being in my life. I'm happy when the Lord expressed his plans for me. He valued me and took me up and cleaned me off. Ministered to my soul and I now know what self worth is. I say this to say to all the singles and those about to get married that; let God chose your spouse and be patient. Once he is in the center of that relationship, he will hold the tides that binds, teach and mend in good times and bad. Don't know how I reached here but I just had to share. Lindsay, thanks for sharing and caring. Us women need to learn more about the expectations of wives towards her husband.
Thank you for sharing. I too have found the blessing of submission.
God bless you for your faithfulness.
This was very moving to me. We are new Christian's, about 1 year old and I have always treated my husband like I know best. I dont want that anymore. I wasn't brought up the way I should have been. Mum cheated on dad n then divorced him when I was 7 or 8 years old then dragged me around , ended up having 3 step dads over space of about 7 years.
Thank you Lindsey for your beautiful words of encouragement! I know what you say is true and your example is endearing and moves me to try again! May God richly bless your marriage! Psalm 133
Thank you for sharing this as I've had to work hard in this area. Btw, Lindsay has blossomed in front of the camera!
This is so encouraging and inspiring Lindsay. Thanks for your honesty and humble heart. ❤️
Such great wisdom from such a great lady! It challenged me to me more submissive to my husband who, after ten years, still lovingly calls me "bossy bride."
This video is so important to me. It would be so nice if you could do more videos like this. About being a good wife, good couple, good friend... I wish you all the best from Austria. Be blessed
Thank you so much.
God bless you all 😄
Thank you for the good reminder, even after 49 years of marriage, I appreciate you 🧡
Oh how lovely video, thank you Lindsay. I needed to hear this today.
Can not wait for the CDs!!!
I did a bible study a few years back, and I used a book called "The Excellent Wife".That was a turning point for me. Cant remember who the author was. But, in that time of studying, had a lot of ouches, amens and, a whole bunch of emotions in between. But I kept studying and praying and finally it all came together. And it was glorious! I used to think men used that word- "submit" as a control thing. But God showed me otherwise. Life is better and I am at peace, because I know He's with me.
The Excellent Wife is usually really distorted. She’s the wife of an incredibly rich guy because she has a team of spinning and weaving women making cloth for profit, and she isn’t to haughty to be above working hands-on constantly with them. She’s trading that undyed cloth for money to get the best meats (food from afar-“food” is the word for wild game) and for more luxurious clothing (scarlet and purple) and is so business savvy that she runs a real estate investment company without her husband’s input because he trusts her that much. And she makes so much money he’s semiretired and hanging out with the elders. She also handles all the charity.
That’s an incredibly admirable woman. But even as a company owner myself...I can’t live up to that!!!
You are totally on track. Submitting to God in His Word!! Sometimes the peace and the joy do come with our obedience but remember Jesus agony in the Garden as He sought to obey and submit to the will of God. A feeling is not what we strive for but glory to God is our motivation. You are growing in godly character that is evidence of the Holy Spirit's work!
Praise the Lord! And may He continue to grow you into Jesus likeness!!
Those flowers are also beautiful! Even more beautiful when put together! Created by the masterful designer! Cared and provided for by the most loving Father in Heaven! Yes!!! We all come into marriage with expectations... Its when we delight in the Lord (obeying His design for our personal marriage and lives - especially when we are feeling our spouse does not deserve our love or respect in the moment relying on His strength and wisdom), that we truly can enjoy the desires of our hearts!!!
Being thankful for our spouse is of utmost importance for this!! Thank you for your willingness to grow in your marriage and for the example you are to so many! May the Lord continually bless you both as you raise your children in Him and follow His paths for your lives!!! - Liz Rosenbaum
Lindsay, you are truly a good wife and a loving mother to your boys. May God bless you as you obey Him.❤
I sure did need to hear this!
Thank u!
To be honest, I don't really understand how the role of husband and wife is really all that different. Loving your wife as Christ loved the Church will surely involve a lot of sacrifice and submission on the husband's part as well. Love is about willing the good of the other, and to make a marriage work, submitting to each other is needed. I know that all this comes the Bible, but it really seems that St. Paul is trying to explain what a Christian marriage would look like in the patriarchal society of the time. He is essentially saying the same to both husbands and wives, just with a different emphasis.
Thank you so much for sharing your journey. You are such a blessing and role model to many of a Godly wife. May God continue to bless you and your beautiful family.
Helpful words of encouragement !
Thanks sister Lindsay. You surely are a blessing to your husband. God bless you and your family to be a blessing to many😍😍
Thanks, I love the outdoors when video starts , seems peaceful .
Doing a Biblical study of the Greek word and the Hebrew words related to submit can really set in mind a different thing. Submission and the Biblical model is beautiful when it is followed. lindsey, thanks for sharing your journey. I love the way you share, humbly and gently. This is an area I continue to grow in. I can tell your faith fuels your walk.
Thank you for the wonderful message. Love your advice and love your family💕😊
