Mothering From the Heart - January 21, 2021

My husband came home from deployment 2 years ago and we are still struggling to restore our marriage and reintegrate, mainly because I’m struggling. He was gone my whole pregnancy as well as the birth and I faced so many difficulties while he was gone and really had to rely on the Lord for my needs emotionally, which was such a wonderful convicting period of growth for me. Since he came home from deployment I’ve really struggled to respect my husband. I felt that our family was really put on the back burner for two years and I guess I hoped for growth in His walk with the Lord and a desire to lead our family when he came home and I’m really struggling to find anything I admire or respect In him anymore. I feel ashamed to even write that, and I know God’s standard of leading isn’t just what I think it should be and I still need to honor and respect him. I’m just struggling to reconnect since deployment and view him as a man I still admire and respect.
Any wisdom and guidance is so appreciated

I have 5 boys at home...How much do you let them be boys? I want to be strong heads of household when they grow up.

I'm a mom of 3 young kids so I usually follow along with a past sermon online when I get a chance or listen to a sermon. Is that considered quiet time with the Lord or do I need to read my Bible on my own without following along with anybody? Also how often are we suppose to fast and how often? Thank you!

In light of our changing political/social climate, how should we as Christians prepare for the potential persecution?

How do you deal with a mother (and I'm not sure she's even really saved) who says, "God told me such and such" and I don't believe God really spoke to her in that manner?
