A letter from the devil's wife to a minster's wife

My husband subscribes to The Briefing, which is a monthly magazine from Australia Mattias Media http://matthiasmedia.com.au/

Their intended goal is to serve Jesus and the growth of his gospel by producing bible-based resources (read their mission statement for the full details).

I wish to commend one of the articles published this month to Christian wives. The article is written in the style of the renowned C.S. Lewis' book, "The Screwtape Letters", as advice from a senior demoness wife to a minster's wife on "10 ways to Discourage your Husband".

It is a very engaging read and particularly so I suspect due to the style in which it is framed. It should not only be for wives of ministers but also Christian wives of Christian husbands. For our husbands are like us, also ministers of the gospel.

Some of the demoness' tips include keeping a messy home, gossiping with your husband (or rather inducing gossipy talk with your husband), complaining instead of appreciating your husband.

I did pick up quite a few pointers from the article and I confess that I am certainly practising some of the demoness' advice which I need to repent of. May God help us Christan wives to respect our husbands as unto the Lord and be his reliable helper.
