57 | SAHM and Equal Partner in Marriage

Is your view of “husband as head of the house” shaped by Scripture or by tradition, old routines, and comparison? Are you carrying guilt from not following beliefs God never actually asked you to follow? Would your priorities shift if your marriage was an equal partnership rooted in biblical principles and not a hierarchy? If so, you’re in the right place.  Hi Beautiful, I’m Cheryl — wife, girl mom, aspiring SAHM, and Jesus follower. I learned the not-so-secret ways to become the mom my girls needed by prioritizing Jesus, finding routines that worked, rejecting mom guilt when I failed, and learning what self‑esteem really is. This podcast is for moms who want Biblical encouragement and real‑life devotions. If you’re ready to build faith while washing dishes, become the mom you hoped you’d be, and love yourself the way your babies do — grab your earbuds and lock the bathroom door for a minute alone. It’s Time for Mom. In this episode, I’m sharing some hard truths about marriage dynamics and how my husband and I navigate them so you can stop comparing your marriage to others and start building your marriage in healthy ways.  Authority doesn't look the same, but it doesn't mean it's not equal. Me Jane, he Tarzan doesn't mean I'm less capable but that the things that I'm the most capable in is different than him – hence partnership. If we want to do something but one of us doesn't agree, we don't do it or at the very least hold off until we have communicated and prayed and come to an agreement. What has God convicted you of verses what are the things you grew up thinking is normal? Don't compare your husband to someone else's. Find the cultural context of Scripture and stop taking it at face value.
