It really is intriguing, and a little amusing as well, when I get yet another comment about how wrong I am to wear a headcovering. Why the amusement? Well, the other person usually has made some huge assumption about my motives, and as a result, has misjudged me. Interestingly, they have done this without knowing me or having first had a conversation with me. Even in the face of all that I say openly and bluntly about my actual reasons for covering, they insist that I must surely have some other motive! This isn’t logical at all.
Unfortunately, I have met some people who are so stubbornly against headcovering that even after I tell them I don’t really believe the things they think I believe, they still refuse to admit their mistake. It is truly frustrating, but I’ve gotten pretty used to it by now. However, my hope and aim is to help others become better educated regarding this issue (and it wouldn’t hurt for a few of them to become better mannered, as well). I want to be a beacon of light, shining forth a gracious and polite attitude in my interactions with dissenters, so that others will become inspired and perhaps begin to consider headcovering for themselves.
Since I’ve brought up the topic, let’s take a look at a few of those bad reasons for headcovering some people claim I have, and compare them with my actual reasons.
Objection #1: You are trying to save yourself through works.
Reply: Absolutely not true. I am only saved through Jesus’ work on my behalf: through His perfect life, death on the cross for my sins, and resurrection from the dead (see Ephesians 2:8-9). I have confessed my sins, repented of them, and asked Jesus to come into my life and heart as my personal Lord and Savior. None of this is based on any works of my own doing. Headcovering, like any other facet of practical Christian living, is just another way of loving God with all my heart as I try and do what He says to do in His Word ( see 1 Corinthians 11:2-16), because I want to (and He does deserve my obedience, too) and not because it will “save” me.
Objection #2: You are being superficial. The outward appearance doesn’t matter, only the heart.
Reply: I will admit that we humans are sadly capable at times of being fake. It certainly is easier to throw on a piece of cloth than it is to actually live out a submissive life, as a woman. And yet, I think that a willingness to change my outer appearance and experience the discomfort that inevitably comes along with it as other people notice the difference, certainly reveals what’s in my heart. It seems to me that being willing to “suffer reproach,” even in a mild sort of way, for God, reveals a heart of love, courage, and faith! (Not that I want to give honor to myself, but I want other headcovering women to be honored for those beautiful qualities they dislay through their own actions!).
I could be doing it to “get noticed,” but if that really were my intent, I’d probably choose something that would make people like me more, not something that might make them like me less (that’s not to say that they do, though). But, if I’m doing it to please God, then I’m doing it out of the right motive, and that motive begins in the heart; the way I choose to present myself is simply an outworking of that.
So, by headcovering I’m not neglecting my heart; I’m actually trying to be sensitive to my conscience.
And in a very practical sense, headcovering helps “train” me in the matters of the heart. By reminding me of what God’s expectations are (being submissive to my “head” and living within my feminine role), headcovering inspires a very real change in the direction of my heart. It doesn’t do it magically, as if the cloth had a power of its own; again, it simply reminds me of the truth when I’m tempted to step outside my God-given role. If I do mess up (nobody’s perfect), it helps set me straight again. It visibly marks out a noble and beautiful standard to live up to.
Objection #3: You haven’t studied this issue well enough; if you had, you wouldn’t be so ignorant about the real meaning of the headcovering. You would surely know that it isn’t necessary for today.
Reply: Yes, I have studied it as well as a mother of a large, homeschooling family can! I guess I don’t like being called, “ignorant,” as if my brain weren’t functioning at full capacity, or something. Though I am aware of the fact that I’m probably not the smartest person that ever lived, and that furthermore, I haven’t read as widely as I would like, I think my information is both reliable and reasonable. 🙂
I came to the decision to cover, not carelessy, but very carefully and after much scrutiny of the passage. After seven years of covering, and as I continue to advance my knowledge on the topic, I have only grown more convinced that headcovering with a cloth is indeed for today.
But please let me point out that I am aware that there are other people who have also studied the issue and have come to a different conclusion. That’s okay. I respect their efforts . . . and I hope they will respect mine. This isn’t a contest about who’s smartest. We can disagree respectfully. Issues like these take time and much patience to sort out. Yet I nurture the hope that even though we may start out by disagreeing, as we get further down the path of knowledge, we may find our ideas coming closer together. But even if not, we can still respect each other’s intelligence and opinions.
(There are many specific objections that could be discussed related to this point about headcovering not being for today, but they will have to be looked at separately, in future posts.)
Objection #4: But this is an Old Testament command, not a New Testament one. We don’t have to follow the Old Testament, and that’s what you’re doing. Why don’t you be consistent, and follow ALL of it, then?
Reply: This is not a command found anywhere in the Old Testament, actually. The priests wore turbans as part of their priestly garments, but as far as I can tell neither lay men nor women were commanded to wear headcoverings. They may have done this as part of their man-made tradition (and not all man-made traditions are bad!), but it was not specifically commanded by God.
I should point out that headcovering for women was assumed in the Old Testament, though not commanded (see Numbers 5:11-31, specifically verse 18).
However, it is specifically commanded for believers in the New Testament, similar to baptism and observing the Lord’s Supper! Furthermore, the command is supported with many reasonable arguments given in the same passage (1 Cor. 11:2-16). This isn’t just a short little phrase tacked onto the end of the letter; it’s got fifteen verses all its own, defending its practice.
I don’t cover to be obedient to the Old Testament; I cover out of obedience to the New Testament. The old priesthood has been done away with, and Christ is now our High Priest, our Mediator, through Whom we have direct access to the Father (see Hebrews 10:19-22, for example). Therefore the rule that said priests had to wear a turban has also been done away with, along with the old priesthood, opening up the way for a different command specific to New Testament believers, though still consistent with God’s unchanging moral standards.
However, I don’t believe that the Old Testament is no longer benefical to us, as believers. All Scripture is God-breathed, and beneficial (2 Timothy 3:16). We should try and learn all we can from God’s Word, and not treat any of it lightly. Though I agree that we do not have to follow the law to be saved (it is our tutor/teacher to bring us to Christ (Galatians 3:24), the Old Testament still remains God’s Word and can enlighten our understanding on many a topic touched on in the New Testament. The New Testament actually quotes from the Old, many, many times!
Concluding Remarks
Those are just four of the main objections I hear over and over again, though there are sometimes others. I think the greatest barrier to communication is misunderstanding. If others would kindly let me speak for myself, believe in my sincerity, and furthermore consider fairly my points, I think we would have much more uplifting conversations.
And if the greatest barrier to communication is misunderstanding, the greatest barrier to personal transformation is stubborness. Oftentimes, it is not a lack of information that impedes one’s personal growth, but rather a lack of willingness. But I hope better things for us, dear readers! I hope these answers of mine have been helpful to you. I don’t expect all to agree with me, and I don’t necessarily think someone is sinning when they don’t; however, my hope is for all to sincerely seek the truth. Let’s do that together!

It’s interesting to me that people care at all what another person does regarding covering or not. Many faith traditions cover- both the men and women. It seems like such wasted effort to object or debate another persons spiritual conviction.
Hi, KL! Thanks for chiming in!
Yes, it is interesting, isn’t it? Some people care because they sincerely want the best for others: for example, I care about other people and want them to know the truth about headcovering, which is why I write about it on my blog and put up videos on YouTube. Other people who don’t cover might sincerely be concerned for me, thinking that I’m being led astray and they wish to get me back on what they consider to be the “right path.” I don’t mind having a conversation with someone I can tell is genuinely concerned for me, even if we disagree.
Other people, however, don’t really *care* as much as they just want to be *right*. Those are the people who aren’t really wanting to understand; they just want to argue. I try and avoid those conversations, if I can.
So, I guess the most important thing, for me, is motive: what is the person’s motive in criticizing me? It can be hard to tell, sometimes, but I try.

Hi Jessica,
I am a first time commenter on your blog, but I have been reading it for months. Even though the Lord had been convicting me about headcovering for years, He used this blog to bring it to the forefront of my mind. After much study and prayer,I finally started headcovering in July, with my father’s blessing, and I truly love it! But to stay on topic, yes, I have heard all these objections often, and it seems somewhat illogical to me to connect salvation with headcovering. These two issues are never discussed together in Scripture. I think one reason people see headcovering as legalistic is because it goes against the status quo of society. Think of it, you never hear people, even in the world, saying that obeying the command, “Thou shall not steal” is legalistic. That seems common knowledge. But as society goes farther away from God, more of His commands that we took for granted not too long ago suddenly become “legalistic”. Some examples would be such as commands regarding a lot of hot topic issues in politics. But anyway, it is so good to get to talk with other headcovering women. Blessings.
Hi, Elisa! I’m so happy to meet you — thanks for taking the time to leave an encouraging comment!
Hearing about how you came to headcover really blessed me! To know that I had a part in it makes me feel special. What good news it is to hear that you began covering in July, with your father’s blessing! Do you cover all the time, or only part of the time (at church, for example)? What has your experience been like so far? Any struggles? Any hidden blessings?
I think you’re right: many people see things as “legalistic” because it simply doesn’t fit with their cultural experience and they don’t understand it. Either that, or they are in rebellion against God’s ways (His “laws”), and don’t want to be reminded of it.
I hope to hear from you again!
~Jessica
Hi Jessica, thank you for taking the time to reply. I started covering part time in church and family/private devotions with wide headbands only because that was the style my father approved of. I always try to run all head covering questions by him because head covering is itself a symbol of submission to the male authority God has put in our lives. When the Lord brings my future husband into my life, I will speak with him on this issue as well. Recently, I also started wearing French berets as well. I love this style because it is so versatile. I can tuck all my hair into it for a full covering, or I can leave my hair down or braid it. I have also gotten an unbelievable amount of compliments with this style (though that is not why I wear it, of course :}) I have gradually started wearing a head covering almost full time. I like being ready to pray or minister at any moment. It is a physical reminder to always be in “ministry mode”, to always be prayed up and ready to serve in the cause of Christ. I know some people experience dramatic changes in their lives after head covering. It was not really that way for me, but I love the peace that has come from doing this. I always felt like a hypocrite before when thinking of these verses. Now, I can rest knowing that I am in submission both to God and the male authority God has put in my life. I also feel more ready to witness to those of other faiths who do cover, especially if they are aware of the verses on Christian head covering. As for challenges, well, I am the only one who covers in my acquaintance. I know a lot of Christians, but none of them cover. I am also one of the few nondenominational/Spirit filled Christians who covers. Very few in the Spirit filled community cover or talk about Biblical womanhood, which really saddens me because they really do get so many other points of teaching correct, in my opinion. So this blog and others like it have been an encouragement to me because I no longer feel as if I was the “only one” covering or believing in Biblical womanhood.
Hello again, Elisa! Thank you for your wonderful response!
I think that wearing a headcovering more often can be a great way to be ready to minister at all times! My husband only wants me to cover at church and during family devotions, so I do that out of respect for him, but I admire other ladies who cover more often. I’m glad that you are trying to cultivate a submissive spirit by running your headcovering questions by your dad, and by being willing to consult with your future husband on it — that’s great!
I’m going to have to try the French beret style. I think it could be really cute and really warm, too, in the winter. Thanks for the idea!
And, like you, I’m also thankful for other headcovering ladies who are willing to share their stories. It is so refreshing to be able to talk about these things with other Christian women!
~Jessica
Elisa – I have a somewhat similar experience. I have been covering for Church and private prayer for many years and have felt an increasingly strong call to cover full time for some time.
Like you I believe completely in submission to my husband under Christ. And although my husband would prefer that I do cover he is troubled about the way the wider world sees this and has asked that I wear a less ‘religious looking’ less obvious partial cover day to day, generally a wide hair band or similar.
Ah the head covering debate! I get all sorts of comments haha My most recent was “You look too religious & that scripture means never to put scissors to your hair”
Another lady asked ” Doest that make your head itch…. I could never cover” YIKES!!!!
It’s funny also I have been called a legalist from many ladies and men as well that if I asked them to give me the correct meaning of legalism they would certainly not be able to.
I am so thankful for sisters who speak truth and share head covering experiences
We are all in this together. Thanks for sharing Jessica!
Wonderful comment, Rosemarie! It makes me feel much better about my own experience! I’m glad you can relate to me.
I really dislike being called a “legalist.” I just try my best to move past the negativity by reminding myelf, “That person doesn’t understand me, but I’m so glad that God knows my heart. HE knows why I’m doing this, and that’s all that matters.”
I, too, am thankful for sisters who speak truth and share their headcovering experiences!
~Jessica
Thank you Jessica. As you know I’m the only one in my church who covers but, no one at my church has told me to my face any of the objections listed above. I do worry that people will say I’m acting “holierthan thou” because I cover and wesr dresses and skirts only.
I’m not quite sure how I would react if that happened. I would just have to rely on the Holy Spirit to speak through me.
I’ve never heard of folks saying it’s an Old Testament command. I think that shows how much those people read their Bibles. I wish though that pastors who don’t believe in covering should sit down and discuss with the lone covering lady why she covers. This is especially important if he will be doing a sermon on the topic.
Hi, Regina! I really appreciate your sharing your thoughts on the matter.
Most of the negative comments I would get were on YouTube, but not in face-to-face contact. However, I’ve recently disenabled comments on YouTube, mostly because I didn’t have time to handle the moderation, but partly because there are a lot of contentious people out there only looking for an argument and I’d rather spend my time discussing this issue with people who are serious about looking for answers. I think those sort of people are the ones who would take the time to comment on my blog.
I, like you, wish that pastors would take the time to understand. In fact, I wish that ALL Christians would do this! But, that’s not likely, at least not on a grand scale. The only thing we can do is wait patiently for the Lord to work on their hearts, while we pray with sincere love in our hearts for them. It’s hard to forgive when people have hurt us, even if they did not do so intentionally. I know this to be true from my own experience! Sometimes I have to forgive the same person for the same event over and over again in my heart, every time I think about it. It’s such hard work! But, it brings peace. 🙂
Thankfully, we can encourage each other throughout all our trials. We may not always be able to get together in person, but I’m glad that we can do this in other ways, too. I’m glad for your support and friendship, Regina!
~Jessica
You’re living biblically don’t let others get to you. If other people aren’t convicted or their husbands don’t want them to then don’t. I do disagree with some that say you should wear your covering regardless what your husband thinks. I’m like what, the covering is a symbol of submission and to wear it when your husbands doesn’t want you to is sinful and blasphemy.
Thanks for your feeback and support, Kevin! I agree with you: though there are very good reasons for headcovering, it’s only a symbol after all; it’s the principle *behind* the symbol that counts the most. 🙂
~Jessica
The “Old Testament command” one was surprising to me, too. I want to laugh, but it’s too sad.
My approach to this topic has generally been not to actively promote it (mainly because my husband and I have more urgent things that weigh on us at this time); I just go on covering and share if someone asks me. In person, at least, it seems like this has been a pretty effective strategy. I’d like to share with you what happened with a certain group of my friends.
As I just said, I don’t actively promote covering. I simply started covering back in 2017. I was attending a small home church/Bible study group at the time. None of them said anything (they’re not judgmental types). A couple of women at my regular church did … and strangely enough, the more liberal, worldly one was fine with it and the more “conservative” one was against it. Go figure. But I digress…
After a while, the youngest member of my study group, a dear friend (nearly a decade younger than me) started covering. Just like that. After some time, I asked her, and she said that she saw me covering and got curious, but rather than ask me, she simply studied it for herself. That’s all it took.
Since then, I got married and moved away, but whenever possible, my husband and I meet with them via video calls. One day, we saw all the women in the group put veils on their heads just before they all started praying. Made my husband and I do a bit of a doubletake! Again, none of them had said anything at all. They just decided to study it out one day and… there it is. They all cover. Even my mother covers, and she had objected at first. Now, not a single woman from my old study group doesn’t cover. In fact, the eldest lady (a very sweet old lady) has a niece who started joining the studies via video call sometimes as well, and she asked about the veils. She was told about 1 Corinthians 11, and agreed to study it. She said she had been feeling impressed recently to cover her head when she prayed and hadn’t understood why. Next meeting, she was covering. 🙂
There are two other women that join us online now that don’t cover, as far as I know, but given the trend our group seems to have, it’s probably just a matter of time, haha!
So, I just wanted to share that with you. I thought you’d find it encouraging. There are still women out there willing to just study the Bible and do what it says, regardless of “culture”. As Christ said, we will understand the teachings of Scripture IF we read them with a willingness to obey. It’s just that simple, no cartwheels or back flips needed. 🙂
PS: People are often a lot more ready to start a fight with strangers online, like the internet has some sort of effect on people to remove the internal filters that would normally stop them from verbally assaulting people in person. There seems to be a strange dichotomy on the internet between being “personal” and “impersonal”. The “personal” side of it makes people feel like they can be more liberal with each other and approach each other as if they actually were acquainted, not how they would approach a stranger on the street. Yet, the truth is that they are not acquainted, and this gives them some weird sense of liberality in saying things they would likely never say to even their closest friends. Isn’t it a bizarre place? Maybe that’s why they came up with that nickname, “anti-social media”.
Thanks for your input, Amanda! I really value it!
Yes, I did find that story encouraging; thank you for sharing it! It’s especially encouraging to me for this reason: I’ve covered at church for about seven years straight, and no one has followed my lead, as far as I know. It sometimes makes me sad. But, I know that whether I see it or not, God is working! That knowledge, boosted by stories like the one you shared, help me continue headcovering with a cheerful, hopeful spirit.
I also agree with you about “anti-social media”; the internet can be a help (like reading your comment was to me just now!), and it can be a hindrance, as well. We have to learn how to manage our online time and presence well, and that takes experience and practice. I’m still learning how to do that! 🙂
Thanks so much!
~Jessica
Praise God! I’m glad He can use me to encourage a sister in her walk. 😀
I’m still learning how to manage online time, too. Or, rather, manage my time in general. I never trained myself to do so growing up. I think that’s why God often keeps me so busy, I can’t go online at all. It’s for my preservation! He is so good, isn’t He? <3
Ha, ha, yes I agree with you and can totally relate: “I think that’s why God often keeps me so busy, I can’t go online at all. It’s for my preservation! He is so good, isn’t He?”
Yep!
~Jessica
Talking with some sincere christian ladies,I noticed that idea of practicing headcovering is letting them feel a kind of fear, even they are not against it. Fear as if like practicing headcovering will take away freedom they have.
There is no basis to forbid headcovering in bible. Headcovering declairs His creation order in visible way. And it clearly denies feminism message. This may cause many people feel uncomfortable to see headcovering christians. I guess that message headcovering states in spiritual area is very challenging to modern value.
Watching testimonies of headcovering ladies on youtube,I noticed that they often share their experience choosing words so carefully.I guess that many people-even christians often attack them about headcovering. Thank you for sincere sharing, you are so honest and brave in Christ. Please stay true and God bless you always.
This is one of the reason why I feel that headcovering declaires something very important in spiritual field.Yes,it tells about His creation order in visible way.
Very well put, Sanae! I think you are right: there is a certain uneasiness and fear for some people when it comes to the topic of headcovering. That’s why I believe that education is so important.
But, being educated on the reasons behind headcovering is only the first step: there has to be a surrender to God and His ways, too. I think that many people are afraid of submitting to God’s divine order, which is what the headcovering represents, as you pointed out so well.
~Jessica
I agree! The heart of it is the feminist movement. In fact, that is the whole reason women stopped covering in the first place. Even women who are sincere, if feminism has infected their way of thinking, will naturally resist head covering to some degree. And it is almost impossible to grow up in today’s society and not be infected by feminism. Praise God that He is able to renew our minds and give us the mind of Christ, purifying us of the taint of feminism! 😀
The Bible did prophesy that the day would come when “children would rule” and other similar problems. God set a certain order for our blessing and it is Satan’s studied effort to reverse it in whatever way he can. He’s been very successful. Now, parents can’t be parents, or they’ll have their children taken away in many cases. Men can’t be men or else their automatically chauvinist pigs. Women can’t be women because the men aren’t men anymore, so the women must become men and take over. And children can’t be children because they’re parents can’t be parents, so the children are expected to make adult decisions (like, say, about gender and sexuality). In fact, we pretty well can’t even be humans anymore, for we are told that we are really just animals, to the point that many give more value to the life of a gorilla than to the life of a human child and our pets live better than most of the humans in the world.
I praise God that there are still people, both men and women, seeking to restore God’s order in their lives and in their families. We fight an uphill battle, sisters. Not against society, nor against those who deny God’s order in their own lives, but against ourselves. It is the sin in our flesh over which we must gain the mastery. I’m glad that we can support one another in the conflict!
Thank you Amanda for your message! It is so true and encouraging.Yes, we have to fight against ourselves.
Wow, so much truth in your comment! You hit the nail on the head!
Thanks for sharing, friend! When it comes right down to it, sometimes we just have to take a step back from defending ourselves and explaining our actions and just live peacefully in obedience. I know I definitely get tired of the ignorant assumptions and usually only really engage in the conversation if someone is truly seeking information in a respectful way. Just want to send you some encouragement today…you’ve been a great encouragement to me!
Hi, Sarah! Yes, I think you’re totally right. You’ve made such a good point, and yes, you have indeed been very encouraging!
Thanks!
~Jessica
Hi, Jessica!
Loved this article and all of the comments!
I think it boils down to something very simple – Christian women don’t want to have to do anything that would make them appear different, such as wearing a covering, and so they lash out at anyone who dares – by word or example – to say otherwise. That is, most likely, why their arguments are so poor – they’re not going for logic; they’re just using any ammunition they can find to distance themselves from the issue so that they don’t have to think about it. It’s more of a “la, la, la, I can’t heeeeear you” than a carefully constructed biblical argument.
Keep up the awesome work! 🙂
Thanks for your feedback, Diana! Yes, I agree with your assessment, since I’ve observed basically the same thing.
~Jessica
I can’t speak for anyone else’s personal conviction but I think do think that for most Christian women an increasing wish to put aside the concerns of the secular world and focus more on our relationship with God does lead us to feel an increasingly strong conviction to cover. Certainly for prayer but also more generally.
My own experience is also that as an initial conviction to dress modestly grows to an increasingly conservative definition of what that means so once you cover for prayer you increasingly feel called to cover full time.
However all this needs to be with the blessing and guidance of your husband or father as to what he feels is appropriate for his family.
Great thoughts, Susanne!
Yes, I think that once women “take the plunge” into modest living, certain things follow as a matter of course. It’s taking that initial plunge that’s the hardest, I think, and where many women feel the most fear. But, once it’s been done, there are so many benefits that follow!
~Jessica
Such a great post, and I agree with your responses to these objections. I’m afraid I’ve fallen out of the practice of headcovering, even though i enthusiastically support it. I found it really hard to maintain when husband and I aren’t fully unified in our beliefs about it, and I guess it just felt “easier” to quit doing it. However, I just recently started covering my head again in my personal prayer time. Even that small step has been so great.
Thank you, Mrs. D. I’m glad that you enjoyed my article!
I agree with you that it can be difficult to maintain the practice of headcovering when one’s husband does not think the same about it; I think your decision to cover during your personal prayer time is a great solution! I only cover at church and during Bible devotions/family prayer at home, since that is what my husband prefers. Other women have husbands who like them to cover full time, and then there are those whose husbands are completely opposed to headcovering. It can be tricky figuring out how to follow our convictions while at the same time respecting our husband’s opinion, but I think that the main thing is to follow the principle of submission, and then see how we may be able to apply the symbolic portion of that. 🙂
I appreciate your input!
~Jessica
I agree with Jessica – whilst there is a range of Biblical, cultural, religious and traditional motivations for head covering. Submission is clearly among these so whatever the personal conviction a woman or girl has ( whether that is to cover or not to cover) she should only act in accordance with the wishes of her husband or father.
If your husband does not support covering generally, doing only for private prayer is a great start.
Yes so true, such wise words! It is important for me to be in complete unity with my husband in spiritual things, worldview, interpretations of the Bible, and the church where our family worships. It can be a challenge for me, because I like to study and follow blogs and things which sometimes leads me to conclusions that aren’t always “mainstream.” I have had to really check myself and make sure I am following my husband over someone else’s standards. I have to be careful even with sites like the Headcovering Movement–they are great, and I learned a lot about interpreting 1 Cor. 11 from them…but when it comes to practice, I need to follow my husband over what they say. I also have to make sure that I’m not spending too much time studying and not neglecting my duties as a wife and mother! It is definitely a temptation for me! We have great conversations, and he always listens to my input and opinions, but my primary goal is unity with him. I love covering my head in my private prayer time. It is very centering, and helps to remind me of my place as a woman loved by God and my husband. I use a shawl that my husband gave me from when he was overseas, so it feels very special in that time as I pray.
Mrs. D, I love that you use the shawl that your husband bought for you — how sweet that reminder of his care for you must be as you spend time in your devotions!
Yes, I understand what you mean about first of all not spending so much time studying to the point where you neglect your primary duties, and second of all not conflicting with your husband’s opinions in favor of some other man’s beliefs. I can relate to that struggle to maintain balance, and I agree that it’s important for us to do as you are trying to do. And, if in anything we feel that our husbands are definitely wrong, we have in our hands the privilege and power of prayer.
Thank you for your lovely and insightful comments. I really appreciate the time you have taken to give your feedback on my posts!
