Men. You Gotta let your Woman Roam!
I am sitting at home…Alone! My wife is in Liberia, West Africa (Her home where she was born). She is there doing great work for Think Liberia.
My oldest daughter and son-n-law are there as well, helping serving and putting things in order for the huge work God has for us to do.
My youngest daughter just left to study abroad for the summer in Spain. (Her boyfriend is here crying and crap, trying to get him to man up). So it’s just me and my son. All the women in my life  are out of the country.
After 30 years of marriage I can say I finally get it! I have to be just as much of a support to my wife as she is to me. She is incredibly powerful and gifted, and doing huge Kingdom things. It’s easy to be unsettled by that.
But my brothers, please trust me when I tell you this...Letting your wife Go with God, to Roam after His calling is sooo powerful. It brings such a dynamic to your relationship, it takes it to another level.
So just let me encourage you. I know it’s hard as a man to let your mate have freedom. It somehow feels like an insult to your manhood. Get over it. That’s the enemy trying to get you to hold her back! Don’t fall in that trap.
You will be much more powerful and do far greater things for God when you both have the freedom to listen and run after God fully supported by one another.
So…Let your woman roam. You will not be sorry, and the Kingdom will be greater!
What say you…Men and Women of God?

I say this with kindness and love: I would LOVE to let my wife roam. Unfortunately, has inherited her parents’ genes of being homebodies and somewhat on the aaahhh less than active side. My oldest daughter has inherited my genes: she has been to Honduras, Greece (3x) and Romania (2x) on mission trips. I applaud your wife for her “roaming” and you for allowing it. Many men are too possessive to allow it.

There’s more than one way to let your woman “roam”. Right now I’m a stay at home wife, with the emphasis on the stay. We only have one car so which my husband needs for work so my wings are pretty much clipped right now but that doesn’t keep me from “roaming”. Right now I’m spending extended time studying the word, reading and praying. My husband has supported me in this by not complaining about late dinners, larger than usual piles of laundry or the extra dust on the t.v. He even fends for himself more, giving me the time I need. I’m sure you would allow your wife to do this if this was her desire. I certainly don’t mean to be critical of you so pleases forgive me if I come off that way. Your wife is blessed to have a husband who knows better than to be overly possessive.

Thank you Michelle. You understand the most important thing is that the wife hears from God, and the husband respects it, and gives freedom to move forward together.

Lyn Smith says: Amen, amen, and amen! We have God callings and passions too. When we are free to fulfill those, we make better wives and moms. Thanks for sharing your insight, Artie.
