The Invisible Erosion of Marriage: Recognizing the Small Ways Women Unintentionally Damage Their Partners

Imahe
In a candid and profound speech, Miss Alice sheds light on a subtly destructive pattern prevalent in many modern marriages. She emphasizes that women often do not intentionally harm their husbands, yet through normalized behaviors and cultural expectations, they inadvertently erode the foundation of their relationships over time. Her message is a call for honest reflection—highlighting seven quiet habits that, left unchecked, can gradually turn a loving partner into a distant, disengaged spouse. Source The Power of Unspoken Expectations The first and perhaps most common issue Miss Alice discusses is the expectation that a man should intuitively know what his wife needs without clear communication. Many women find it unromantic or unnecessary to explicitly state their needs, waiting instead for subtle signals or silent cues. When husbands fail to read these signals, women may respond with withdrawal or frustration, which the husbands interpret as disinterest or failure. This dynam...

Ang Nakatagong Pagguho ng Matrimonyo: Pagkilala sa mga Simpleng Paraan kung Paano Di-sinasadyang Nasasaktan ng mga Kababaihan ang Kanilang Kabiyak

Imahe
Sa isang tapat at malalim na pahayag, binigyang-linaw ni Miss Alice ang isang banayad ngunit mapanirang gawi na laganap sa maraming modernong kasal. Binigyang-diin niya na madalas ay hindi sinasadya ng mga babae na saktan ang kanilang mga asawa, gayunpaman, sa pamamagitan ng mga nakasanayang kilos at kultural na ekspektasyon, dahan-dahan nilang napapahina ang pundasyon ng kanilang relasyon sa paglipas ng panahon. Ang kanyang mensahe ay isang panawagan para sa tapat na pagsusuri sa sarili—na nagtatampok ng pitong tahimik na gawi na, kapag hinayaang magpatuloy, ay maaaring unti-unting gawing malamig at mailap ang isang mapagmahal na kabiyak. Source Ang Kapangyarihan ng mga Hindi Binibigkas na Ekspektasyon Ang una at marahil pinakakaraniwang isyung tinalakay ni Miss Alice ay ang ekspektasyon na dapat ay kusang alam ng lalaki kung ano ang kailangan ng kanyang asawa nang walang malinaw na komunikasyon. Maraming kababaihan ang nag-iisip na hindi romantiko o hindi na kailangang sabihin na...

The Special Duties of Husbands to their Wives

Fulfill your duties to your wife in order to avoid the following unhappy results: Failure of your wife to fulfill her duties towards you Such will cause you much affliction She will be bitter towards you in the end Summary of your Duties as Christian Husbands: You are responsible to undertake the government of your family including your wife. This ability consists: In holiness and spiritual wisdom. An ungodly, irreligious man is both a stranger and an enemy to the most important part of family-government. In due acquaintance with the works of your calling. He that is utterly unacquainted with the members of his family, will be very unfit to govern them. He must be acquainted both with the common temper and infirmities of mankind, that he may know how much is to be borne with, and also with the particular temper, and faults, and virtues of those whom he is to govern. And he must have prudence to give them direction in accomplishing their tasks; and justice to deal with every one as they...

Prayer Concerns for Month of July

1. For ministers of God to be convinced not just by lip-service, but demonstrated in action that prayerlessness is indeed a sin. “A bankrupt who had a millstone of debts around his neck would not delay long in using blank checks signed by a millionaire and specially donated to him for his distress. Why then do we Christians delay in using the ‘exceeding great and precious promises’ which have already been signed by the Pierced Hand?” (Leonard Ravenhill, Revival Praying, 2010, p. 63). “We may call prayerlessness neglect, or lack of spiritual appetite, or loss of vision. But that which matters is what God calls it. In I Samuel 12:23 God calls prayerlessness sin: ‘God forbid that I should sin against the Lord in ceasing to pray for you.’ Prayerlessness is disobedience, for God's command is that men ought always to pray and not to faint. To be prayerless is to fail God, for He says, ‘Ask of me.’ Prayerlessness is sin” (Ibid., p. 64). "Prayer links man's impotence to God's ...

The Increase in Number of Genders

Some say that the LGBT acronym should be made more inclusive – a prime and overarching value today – so as to include other possibilities. One proposal is LGBTQQICAPF2K+. Here is what the new proposed acronym stands for: L – lesbian G – gay B – bisexual T – transgender Q – queer Q – questioning I – intersex C – curious A – asexual A – agender A – ally P – pansexual P – polysexual F – friends and family 2 – two-spirit K – kink + - the possibility of more, to be added later. By including ‘allies’ and ‘friends and family,’ LGBTQQICAPF2K+ is so inclusive that it includes heterosexuals! Meanwhile the number of genders keeps multiplying. A website devoted to keeping track of the number of genders currently lists fifty-six, with the provision for continually adding more. These include: Adamasgender: a gender which refuses to be categorized Aerogender: a gender that is influenced by your surroundings Affectugender: a gender that is affected by mood s...

What is God doing through the coronavirus?

In his 114 page book, Coronavirus and Christ,  John Piper responded in Part 2 to the question,  "What is God doing through the coronavirus?" Attempts like this to answer such question may appear presumptuous and insensitive in a time that many a people are hurting and confused. This charge of presumption and insensitivity can only be answered if one will take the time read the book. In fact, one of his relatives was infected with Covid-19. Moreover, in addition to the 2005 diagnosis that he had a prostate cancer, he no longer expected to see the publication of this book because of his age and the condition of his lungs.  In this article, I just want the share an excerpt from Piper's book showing his response to that controversial question: # 1 - "God is giving the world in the coronavirus outbreak, as in all other calamities, a physical picture of the moral horror and spiritual ugliness of God-belittling sin." “In other words, physical evil is a parable, a drama...

Mga Pinagkatiwalaang Tagapangasiwa (Stewardship)

Ang unang prinsipyo ng tipan sa Banal na Kasulatan ay ang sovereignty ng Diyos. Sa larangan ng teoryang pang-ekonomiya, ang prinsipyong ito ay nahayag sa doktrina ng orihinal na pagmamay-ari ng Diyos sa lahat ng nilikha, kabilang ang sangkatauhan. Bilang nagmamay-ari ng lahat, hindi direktang kinokontrol ng Diyos ang mundo. Bagkus ay pinamamahalaan niya ang Kaniyang pagmamay-ari sa pamamagitan ng sangkatauhan sa buong kasaysayan. Dahil sa ipinagkaloob ng Diyos ang responsibilidad sa sangkatauhan para sa pangangasiwa sa mundo, ang bawat indibidwal ay dapat maging responsable sa gawain na ipinagkatiwala sa Kaniya ng Diyos. Ang bawat indibidwal ay magkakaiba. Ang mga tao ay may magkakaibang talento, layunin, interes, libangan, at lahat ng iba pa na nauugnay sa produksyon ng ekonomiya. Ang bawat tao ay may pananagutan sa anumang mga kasanayan o pakinabang na ibinigay sa kaniya sa buhay na ito. Ang pangunahing alituntunin ng pagiging responsible ay ito: ang sinuman na pinagkatiwalaan ...
