I think you’ll find this study interesting as we look through the lives of some Biblical wives, and even see how husbands really haven’t changed that much either.

When you looked at marriage as a kid, you looked at the idea of two people who were in love and that would love each other and live together forever.

That is, of course, the ideal.  Marriage was created to bind two people and make them one—physically, emotionally and spiritually.

The vows that are said on wedding day are more than just empty words that sound good, they are a promise that is made between life partners about what the other can expect for the rest of their life.

In the coming weeks we will look at parts of this vow and analyze what it means, what we think it means, and find the hidden treasures and promises we made to our spouses.

Rachel from Musings of a Future Pastor’s Wife describes herself as follows:

I’m a sinner saved by the grace of Jesus Christ. Wife to "Boaz." Mother to "Princess." Join me as I make my way through life’s ups and downs, strive to be a Proverbs 31 woman, and most of all be changed into His likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes only from Him. I also enjoy warm climates, jazz music, football, boiled seafood, and the occasional beignet. I’m stereotypical like that.

Next there’s Lois Lane II from fearfully, wonderfully made:

I am an absent-minded, coffee-holic professor and have been married to my college sweetheart for three years and counting! We strive daily to be mirrors of God and also have one adorable Chihuahua.

These two fine ladies want to help expose the lies that wives believe, and help us all become better spouses… as well as shine a funny light on married life.

And that’s no lie.

Adam Schofield first met Tracy Martin when they were teens.  You could say that Adam had a big crush on here, and though they were separated, he never forgot her.

As they parted ways to go off to college, they each went their separate direction.  Adam went to college for journalism, but as he was following some police detectives he began liking the process of finding out who did it, and putting the pieces together.

When he left college, he decided to pursue a private investigator’s license, and he, along with his sidekick, Noah Prescott, opened a private investigator shop out of their apartment as they started on their first case.

It wasn’t until about a year later that Adam bumped into Tracy Martin again—officially—as she had a case that needed solving, and she found him out.

She was a secretary in their hometown and was concerned because multiple girls were going missing from her apartment complex and she needed protection and wanted help finding her friends.

She had gone to get an Associates Degree in Administration from a local school, and was working her way up the ladder of various banks when she was assigned back to Nanopolis—their old hometown.

During the adventure that they find themselves in, they adopt a teenage daughter, Kristin Smith, who was part of their joint adventure, and they all live together in Adam’s house outside of town.

The have multiple acres of land that includes a sci-fi type machine modeled off of Star Trek’s holodeck¹.

They all share an interesting relationship.  They have different backgrounds, and have all been injured, brainwashed, but they continue to muddle through.  Adam and Tracy share a past together as well as many adventures, and Kristin is going through the typical teenage years.

1. What can I say, Star Trek the Next Generation was big at the time of the writing of these books.

The idea for the site is two fold:

First, we’ll take a look at the husband/wife dynamic as it pertains to the communication between husband and wife—in a funny way, of course.

Second, we’ll take a look at some of the things that wives believe about themselves, and try to shine a light on the truth of the situation.

It should be a lot of fun, and perhaps we’ll get some more wives to help write along the way.

So, join me, if you will, as we journey down the road looking at married life with all of its wrinkles and expectations.
