   "House and wealth are an inheritance from fathers, But a prudent wife is from the LORD.” -Proverbs 19:14 Sometimes I feel like a pretty good wife; sometimes I feel like a pretty terrible wife. But the objective of marriage is not simply to be comfortable with my feelings- it is to glorify God.

Not to what I- as a fallible human being- personally perceive as just, fair, good, or acceptable, but to what the infallible word of God determines to be such.   People of differing political standpoints frequently make remarks about people like myself saying things such as, “You are what’s wrong with this country,” and “Use your brain.”   I have high regard for critical thinking, logic, science, and justice. God created all of those things, and my ability to evaluate a topic logicall
