A Letter to Young Christian Women

I’m finally at an age when younger Christian women might look up to me for “wisdom” and advice. That is a daunting thought and I don’t feel at all qualified to be that person. Somehow, though, in spite of what I know are major flaws and weaknesses, I have been through enough trials and struggles to be able, perhaps, to provide some insight and perspective. After having been around for so long, I have made some observations and come to certain conclusions that no one would have been able to explain to me years ago. Some things you have to see, experience, and understand for yourself. For instance, the following is a great truth that is becoming more powerful to me as time goes on: One of the most important things a newly-married Christian couple will ever hear is that their marriage is triangular. God is the top “point,” and the husband and wife are the others. The spouses will stay connected and their marriage will be a healthy one if they acknowledge God in His proper place; He is not only an integral part, but most importantly, He is at the top. The more the couple draws near to Him, the closer to each other they will also be.
