Priorities of a Christian Woman

Guest:                         Barbara Rainey        

From the series:       Three Essentials for Every Married Woman (Day 1 of 2)

Air date:                     September 1, 2014

Bob: Want to do something that would really help your husband today?  Here’s counsel from Barbara Rainey. 

Barbara: One of the great callings of wives is to intercede and pray for our husbands. When we pray for our husbands, and for all that they’re facing and all that God has called them to do, we are imitating what the Holy Spirit does for us in our lives. It’s how we can help our husbands. It’s one of the greatest gifts we can give them in our role as helper. 

Bob: This is FamilyLife Today for Monday, September 1st. Our host is the President of FamilyLife®, Dennis Rainey, and I’m Bob Lepine. We’re going to hear today about a number of ways wives can lovingly support their husbands. Stay tuned. 

And welcome to FamilyLife Today.

Thanks for joining us on the Monday edition. Whenever we are with a group of couples—in just about any setting we’ve ever been in—the women in that group are always wishing that they could get a little extra time with your wife. 

Dennis: I do too!  [Laughter]  

Bob: Well, you’ve got her all the time!  But these women really look forward—

Dennis: Oh, yeah. 

Bob: —to getting some mentoring / some coaching.

Dennis: My wife has good economy of words. You know, there are some people who talk a lot and don’t say much. 

Bob: And only say a little.

Dennis: She doesn’t use a whole lot of words, and she gets a lot said. I think because of her stage in life and because of, frankly, some of the hardship we’ve endured—as a couple, as parents, and as a family—I think she’s got a lot to say. It’s not all out of our success. It’s not all out of some cookie-cutter perfect home.

But it’s out of a biblical grid from a woman who’s walked with Christ for, well, almost 40 years, and been obedient in following Him—not perfectly, again—but she does have a lot to say.

Bob: And some of our listeners have had the opportunity to hear Barbara speak at one of our Weekend to Remember® marriage getaways. In fact, I wanted to mention, Dennis—that this week and next week—we’re kind of kicking off our fall season for the Weekend to Remember. We have 14 events coming up this fall. We’d like to encourage our listeners to attend one of those events—in Florida, or in Texas, or in California, or in Missouri, or in Tennessee, or Colorado, South Dakota, Iowa, Idaho. You can go to FamilyLifeToday.com and click the link that says, “GO DEEPER.”  You’ll find a list of dates and locations for the upcoming Weekend to Remember getaways this fall.
