You’re a Christian woman who is gifted, hardworking and striving to have it all. You work outside the home, are a leader at work and seem to have it all together. We’ve counseled with many women who fit this description, but they come to us because life is unraveling at home. I want to offer some suggestions if you desire to see changes.

2. You're a Christian woman who is gifted,
hardworking and striving to have it all

3. You work
outside
the home,
are a
leader at
work and
seem to
have it all
together

4. But, life is unraveling at home

5. God created
the husband
to be the
spiritual
head of the
home

6. When the
wife
assumes
that role, by
design or by
default, the
seeds for
discontent
are sown
and grow

7. Alpha
("Type A")
females
are not
new, but
they are
much more
common
than in
years past

8. No husband wants
a boss, or a
competitor, at home

9. If God's plan
for marriage
doe not
unfold, the
results can
be mediocre
(best case)
or
disastrous at
worst

10. The ideal
solution is
for the
husband to
step and
assume his
proper role

11. Good news: the wife can unilaterally initiate some
changes to lay the groundwork for the Lord to work
in her husband and marriage

12. What follows does not apply in marriage situations
where the spouse is an addict, mentally ill or
abusive in any way

13. Here are 6 suggestions for the
wife:

14. 1. Settle for less than the best at home. Learn to be
content in any and every situation. Express
gratitude regularly.

15. 2. Stop micromanaging your
husband or household activities

16. 3. If it's been
buried, let your
femininity out of
the box. Why did
your husband
marry you? That
rejuvenation
needs to apply to
the bedroom
also.

17. 4, Submit to your husband, as unto the Lord (Ephesians 5:22-
23). Let him lead, make decisions in areas that are new for both
of you. Serve him. That does not mean being a doormat

18. 5. Learn
how to say
yes more
frequently
than no

19. 6. Speak less and listen more to
what he is saying

20. If you are
an alpha
female but
are not
content,
know that
God can
change
your
marriage

21. Joint counseling is always the best
option but what if he is not willing?

22. What if you know that your issues need
to be addressed first?

23. You can take steps now to make
a shift

24. Let the Lord
work on
your
husband's
heart as he
sees the
changes in
you

25. We recommend
this book: "The
Alpha Female's
Guide to Men
& Marriage" by
Suzanne
Venker

implementing a
new approach in
your situation,
