Recently I read a comic about mental load, which (to ridiculously oversimplify things) is the concept that women hold a disproportionate amount of organization in their minds. We keep in our minds everything that must be done in our homes and for our families. I read the comic about a week too late to avoidContinue reading “Bump in the Road to Equality”

A Short Note About Wonder Woman
With about 75% of the rest of the world (it seems), I went to see Wonder Woman last Friday with my husband. I was nervous. Would they declare her to be wonderful because she performs well according to our culture’s male ideals? Would it be a celebration that women can be just as destructive asContinue reading “A Short Note About Wonder Woman”
Consent and 1 Corinthians 7
There’s an article. I am not going to post a link to it because I don’t want to give it clicks. It went around about a year ago and now it’s going around again, with the approval of Christians. It’s about how in Christian marriages, you don’t have to ask for consent for sex becauseContinue reading “Consent and 1 Corinthians 7”
Take Heart!
Sisters, mothers, and daughters, My heart has been very heavy the last week or so listening to the Church’s response to ugly words and actions towards women by one of our presidential candidates. I have been feeling the need for some encouragement. So I’m writing some — to you and to myself, too. Women, weContinue reading “Take Heart!”
A Letter to my Younger Self
This is a guest post from my friend, Wren-Margaret Grace. If I could look back and come alongside my younger self, the younger version of me as I was writing my own letters to my future husband, I would say this: I know your heart is so tender and pure. I love that about you. InContinue reading “A Letter to my Younger Self”
Safe Relationships and Expanding Hearts
Last week a friend posted a story about a girl who had been hurt by the book I Kissed Dating Goodbye by Joshua Harris. She believes that the IKDG mindset contributed to the rape she experienced. Another friend of mine, who is a man, commented that he disagreed with her conclusions. This was my responseContinue reading “Safe Relationships and Expanding Hearts”
Practically Parenting our Equals: Religious Observance
This is the last of a series on egalitarian parenting that started here. If you are just “tuning in” it might help you to read the introduction to this series and also the posts on discipline and self control. We parent based on the premise that our children are equal to us before God andContinue reading “Practically Parenting our Equals: Religious Observance”
Painting
Last weekend, my sister asked Brian to help her husband paint a room in her house and she asked me to help my mom watch all the kids (8, including hers and mine, from 9 months to 8 years). She had to work and the room NEEDED to be painted. Brian and I wereContinue reading “Painting”
Love and Doctrine
Over the past several years, starting with examining my complementarian beliefs (and ultimately rejecting them), I have been reading a lot about Christian beliefs and doctrines. I found an article today about how love is never a mistake (which you should definitely read). And I really like it. Of course it brings up the question “HowContinue reading “Love and Doctrine”
5 things every married man should stop obsessing over around single women
This is a guest post written by Jean Kamps. I recently read an article that really rose my hackles. It’s not that this article was in itself overtly offensive, but that it came as the final feather that woke the sleeping giant. I keep coming across these and very similar views regarding Christian purity,Continue reading “5 things every married man should stop obsessing over around single women”
