My husband and I have been married for 22 yrs. I have made a point to be his helper. We both are in our early 40s now. My husband is a disabled veteran and I am now his caregiver to help with his appts and discussion with the many doctors. Happiness isn't guaranteed. Life can be numb at times but my love for him, how our life has been, our 8 children, and my duty to the Lord has kept me going. Not many know our struggle but that's ok. My attitude can certainly be better that's for sure.
Hi! I love that you said “ask your husband how you can be helpful…sometimes what I thought was being helpful to him was actually helpful for me”… Great idea.
Wow, you should be the one sharing advice! 💕💕 i am humbled to know there are women out there that have so much more experience then I, and yet still take the time to watch my videos. Wow, thank you very much! ❤️
I agree- also, notice what he tends to say thank you for, and start doing those things more. Especially, as working wives, we need to ensure we're doing the things he'll notice and be appreciative of if we're short for time. I also try and do things before he gets home, also.
No matter how long you've been married there is always more to discover about God's good plan for husbands and wives. Keep sharing the things He is teaching you. Your desire to honor Christ is evident. You are blessed!
I was having a hard time with my husband’s decision about something but I realized that a lot of itches because friends and family had a hard time with his decision. When I stopped caring about what they all thought, I could see that his decision brought a blessing to our family.
Girl your content is so good! All your videos make me so excited for when I can be a mother and a homemaker. Please never stop posting. Your videos are so helpful! God bless!
Yes to the marriage series! Beautiful shots and message in this one💕 You are glowing! ☀️How far along are you now? I’m finally out of the first trimester (14 weeks, 6 days) and feeling like myself again🤰🏻😊
Hi I love your content..could you do more videos on homemaking. There's just not enough content about staying at home moms and homemakers that makes me feel so happy when I find these kind of channels. We need more women that are willing to become their houses in real homes. We need more feminine women. God bless you and your family 💕
Thank you so much for the input. I love hearing what you all would like to see. I definitely have more homemaking videos in mind for the near future;) ❤️
Hey, I just want to let you know that as a fellow SAHM I really enjoy your videos and I’ve never got the feeling that you come off as arrogant or prideful. I’ve also thought you were very sweet! Also, yes a marriage series would be awesome 😍 almost 3 years married here and trying to learn. Loved your other marriage related videos
Thank you for taking the time to create this video. It is refreshing and encouraging to hear from other wives who have accepted the God ordained career of Wife, Keeper of the Home, and Mother🌷
You are so sweet. Oh my goodness the work you had to do to get this video up. I very much appreciate your hard work and devotion. Thank you for posting this.
I think the marriage series would be awesome. Not enough real Christian and bible content out there. I have felt conviction in areas where I could be better while watching your videos. It’s encouraging to know there are still young Christian wives and mothers like me out there who desire to be conformed to the word and not the world. 😊
Loved your first video but honestly love this one even more! I highly recommend the book “Created to be his help meet By Debi pearl! Talk about a heavenly marriage! 😊😊 I have been so convicted by this book,things I never even realized I was doing ! I have a new found appreciation and adoration for my husband. I am so grateful the lord lead me to this book ! Shook me to the core! ❤️❤️ love your videos!! If you read it , tell me what you think 😀😀
Such an amazing video. I am so inspired and I'm so excited for Heaven too because of how marriage representing our relationship with God ♥God bless you.
Hello, I’m new to your channel and I’m loving all your videos. I’m a mother of 9 and deeply admire the wisdom you share! I also love your clothes do you have a video on where you find all your cute outfits ? Love them all ! 😁❤️🙏
Just came across this video, I found it beautiful and very helpful specially for young marriages. Prayers are the miracle of any marriage. Let Jesus be the rock in your home. Thank you for talking about this.
Please allow me to assure that you have never, ever come across as arrogant ❤️❤️❤️ I have enjoyed watching all of your videos. And yes please to a marriage series ❤️✝️❤️✝️
I wonder how can a wife, who also works, can be a helpmate. Its 1 thing to be a stay at home wife/mother. I think a discuss of household chores and who does what and a discussion of roles would be important
My husband won't sit down and do this sadly. He just angrily says "I don't know". So I definitely need to go in prayer for a while before I try talking to him again. My husband wants to be rich.. make his. Company huge and rich, and I want to be very humble and a homesteaders living off the land. Any tips for that? Lol
Well to begin I will just say that I am no expert and am very young myself, so don’t take anything I say too seriously. ❤️ I imagine maybe he doesn’t know how exactly to go about making tons of money, and maybe when he is asked, it maybe reminds him of that and causes him to feel frustrated or threatened? I have no clue, that’s just what I would assume. I think your thought to pray a lot about it is probably the best option, as well as maybe simply illustrating through your own lifestyle, that you don’t need lots of money to be content and happy in life. So I guess my only tips would be to pray, your example, and then maybe wait until a completely non stressful time when he is in a good mood, to perhaps ask again. Or maybe you should start by just saying something like, “hey, if I could do anything that would help you at all today, or elevate some stress, let me know.” I have no clue if that is at all helpful, but I hope it is. ❤️❤️
I have a question in my mind. But why think the things he do for help me in the house like a bonus. If both live in the same house, both make the “same” mess.
Great question. For the same reason he doesn’t “expect” me to help him at our remodel. He just thanks and appreciates it when I do. I will reap the rewards of it as much as he when it is done, but since we somewhat divide and have our own “domains” we tend to, (his being income and the remodeling,) (mine being the home and child rearing,) we both appreciate when the other steps into our domain to help, but do not demand or expect it. That is why I view what he does here at home as a bonus, and he views how I help at the remodel as a plus as well. Hope that makes sense💕
Sarah, I am really enjoying your videos and your insight and wisdom into marriage. But I just can't get past the inequality in the division of labour in your home! Surely, the hours when you are both home together e.g. evenings or weekends, the housework and childcare etc should be split evenly? If his job finishes when he clocks off and he gets to come home to rest and has zero expectation upon him to contribute to the housework why is your job 24/7, neverending?
Great question, and I love that you asked it. First, I don’t view our marriage as a 50 / 50, but rather as a 100 / 100 % effort from both of us. Danny does his very best and works his very hardest and I do the same. While I know some guys are couch potatoes when they get home, (and I would hate that,) my husband is not in the least. If I am doing dishes he will often take the kids outside, or get them ready for bed and such. But I do not ever want to just expect this of him, or take it for granted. I want to appreciate it and view it as a bonus, just as he appreciates if I make any money on the side, but never expects or requires it of me. When it comes to being his helper with long term goals, (our house remodeling adventures for example,) it is easy to work with him and support or help him in it because it’s something we both want. It’s not as though he is out building a career or a dream life separate from mine, but rather it is a team effort where we are both building what we both dream of together in whatever ways we can each best contribute to the process. Anyway, I know that’s a lot. Hope it clears things up. ❤️
I love the idea of asking him "How can I help you today?" Thanks for sharing!
I love the authenticity on this channel. We can still be our husbands helpers and that there is nothing wrong with that
Thank you so much!💕
God bless you...I shared your utube channel with my granddaughter..
You are wise in the Lord.Thank you so much.
My husband and I have been married for 22 yrs. I have made a point to be his helper. We both are in our early 40s now.

Wow, you sound amazing! God bless you as you serve your husband! ❤️
It just got better Dear one.
God bless you and your Dear Husband.
Jehovah God, knows your pain . Revelation 21:3,4 says he will wipe all pain and it will be over forever. May God continue to uphold you dearly.
Hi!
I love that you said “ask your husband how you can be helpful…sometimes what I thought was being helpful to him was actually helpful for me”…
Great idea.
Awe, thank you. It definitely helps:)
Thinking of things your husband does around the house as a bonus, not an expectation. That's a good way of thinking of it!
Awe, thank you. 💕
At 66 I'm always open to help for my marriage. I have a great one, but there is always room for improvement! I appreciate your wisdom!
Wow, you should be the one sharing advice! 💕💕 i am humbled to know there are women out there that have so much more experience then I, and yet still take the time to watch my videos. Wow, thank you very much! ❤️
me too...agree always room for growth..lol im 66 also.
I agree- also, notice what he tends to say thank you for, and start doing those things more. Especially, as working wives, we need to ensure we're doing the things he'll notice and be appreciative of if we're short for time. I also try and do things before he gets home, also.

Thank you so much for your input!💕💕
A good attitude and not complaining is actually helpful too.
I was having a hard time with my husband’s decision about something but I realized that a lot of itches because friends and family had a hard time with his decision. When I stopped caring about what they all thought, I could see that his decision brought a blessing to our family.

You’re not equals but you should treat each other with the same respect and give each other the same amount of love. But that’s just me personally.
Thanks for retaking this video 😉

Love your videos 💓
Thank you❤️❤️
Just for future, please note that you can actually edit a video ON TH-cam even after upload
Thank you for that tip:)
Random: You have the cutest nose!!

If you may send us or show us some material you have used on marriage tips, I would appreciate it
Will do! ❤️ thank you💕
You are so beautiful!!!

Is it wrong to want help from your husband?
Absolutely not. ❤️ My husband helps me all the time:) you are a team after all.
Amazing questions!!!
I would ask my self, "am I thankful when he helps me or bitter when he doesn't?"
why?????
