Your insight into God's command to "make it your ambition to lead a quiet life" is wonderful. You know me - and I'm not a doormat. But, the Lord has been so merciful to continue to show me areas in my own life (as Frank's wife) that have not been honoring to Him. I am learning more every day that I was created to be my husband's 'help meet'...to help him meet his needs. I have been reading the most wonderful new book called "Created to be his Help Meet' by Debi Pearl. In one chapter she says, "When you are a help meet to your husband, you are a helper to Christ. When you honor your husband, you honor God. When you obey your husband, you obey God. The degree to which you reverence your husband is the degree to which you reverence your Creator. As we serve our husbands, we serve God." And, this is not drudgery - as we obey these commands, we receive the blessing! I've seen it and have experienced it! I know this is a bit off of the main idea you were trying to express but I do believe that everything we do (as in your desire to create an environment for Philip of peace and contentment) goes back to the role that God has designed for us as women. He is showing you that this IS 'The Way - walk in it". You will reap the precious benefits of being a servant of The Most High. Much love, Wendy Lanier – you are so wise beyond your years as a young wife. Your insight into
God’s command to “make it your ambition to lead a quiet life” is wonderful. You
know me – and I’m not a doormat. But, the Lord has been so merciful to continue to show me areas in my own life (as Frank’s wife) that have not been honoring

husband, you obey God. The degree to which you reverence your husband is

we serve God.” And, this is not drudgery – as we obey these commands, we
