On Sunday April 9, 2012 I will begin an online ten week study of the book Fascinating Womanhood. Anyone is welcome to join in on the study and it's free. Download your free copy of the e-book by scrolling down to my bookshelf in the right sidebar. I will post the lesson and weekly assignments on Sunday of each week. I would like to have group discussions on this study as well. Please let me know in the comments section if you plan to participate. We can all be the wives and mothers we were designed by God to be. Let's study together and learn how to enrich our marriages.
Facinating Womanhood Rules
for the Wife at Home
1. Accept him as he is. Look to his good side. Don’t try to change him. Forgive him for past hurts. Allow him his freedom.
2. Admire his
masculine qualities. Never wound his
sensitive pride. A man’s greatest need
is to be admired for his masculine qualities.
His deepest misery is to be belittled by a woman.
3. Make him number one in your life. Comfort him tenderly. Appreciate his heavy responsibilities. Do not raise problems until after he has
eaten.
4. Allow him to lead. Your husband’s God-given role is to lead you
and provide for you. Allow him to do
it. Let him know your views, but support
his final decision 100%. Let him worry
about the finances.
5. Inner Serenity. Men deeply admire inner serenity and goodness
in their wives. Inner serenity happens
when a woman is free of pride, self-righteousness, and guilt. She will always say and do the right things
and she is forgiving.
6. Your
God-given role is to be a mother and homemaker. Men respect these two things. Allow time to enjoy your homemaking. Learn and improve your homemaking skills. Cultivate women friends that you can visit
with, do things with, and confide in.
7. Make the most of your hair, your figure and
your health. Your appearance is
important. Dress in modest, pretty and
feminine dresses. Keep your hair
moderately long and style it in an attractive manner. Lose weight if you need to and/or maintain
your ideal weight with diet and exercise.
8. Femininity delights a man, and depending on
him arouses his love. Do and wear
the opposite of men. Appear to be
helpless in masculine matters. Have
child-like charm. Speak cheerfully.
9. Just ask with a
smile. To obtain your wants from
your husband, just ask with a smile and a please, as a young girl asks her
father. Show feminine appreciation in an
exuberant, child-like way.
10. Handle anger
femininely. Men respect a spirited
woman. Release your anger as soon as it
arises, in a child-like manner. Show
anger only when you have been clearly mistreated. Express it in a child-like way that allows
him to feel manly and protective.
