Don't focus on the "flaws" you see, focus on the beauty He created. I have done this and it is helping me to renew my mind about my appearance. Great post!

Great discussion! Another subject (for a future post?) could be when the husband, rather than the wife, is critical of the wife's body...how should a Godly wife respond?

Or, to be more accurate, it has inspired me to ask my husband to write one! After reading your two articles on being revealing for our husbands, I sat down and had a long conversation with my husband. He shared many things with me that were extremely helpful and I thought it would be beneficial to share them with other women. We have written a post over at my site and I wanted to share it with you. It's at http://intostillwaters.com/2009/01/21/let-her-breasts-satisfy-you-at-all-times-not-for-young-readers/ Mrs. P, once again one of your articles has inspired me to write one of my own.

In my country there is a book about a 'short fat chick' who became a marathon runner. She now says that instead of disliking her dumpy body she loves the fact she can be so athletic and do so many wonderful things with it,I never that that way before"she girds herself with strength and strengthens her arms" What a lovely article.It’s also important to be healthy.

Thank you for the Godly focus...I am an older woman now who believes in teaching younger woman how to love their husbands...we change with time, not only with baby weight...it is such a joy to continue being one with the husband of our youth. God is a great God and He made the oneness of couples a beautiful picture of Christ and the Church. Always, Alayne Your husband sent me your new years letter and I noticed your blog address…WHAT A BLESSING!

What great insight and truth! I am really beginning to see my 'out of shape' body as a lack of self-control. In that way, I need to practice this fruit of the Spirit. But you are so right about it being US that compares. My hubby is wonderful and loves me as I am...I have the problem!! NOT him!! Thank you for this reminder...it has given me some good thoughts to ponder. I really apprieciate your thoughts here. What great insight and truth!

I wish more people would write about this topic, it is far to underrepresented in conservative circles. Such vital insight could save many marraiges that are plagued by lack of "loving with abandon" which is so needed in a marraige. thanks for the encouragement. :-) as always!

Sat, 03 Jan 2009 17:44:01 +0000 http://parunak.com/pursuingtitus2/?p=302#comment-7146 My husband is not a Christian, but much of this still applies to our marriage. What I stuggle with is not modesty, but the question of to what extent do I "belong" to my husband when it comes to my appearance? Specifically, he does not like long hair -- he can't stand it, because he says it looks untidy. I think I look horrible with short hair, and after nearly 20 years of keeping it very short for him, I've grown it out to my shoulders. I thought that was a good compromise, and I love the way it looks. But he still wants me to cut it short again. (I do realize that if this is what we call a problem, we really have very little to complain about!) My husband is not a Christian, but much of this still applies to our marriage.
