"the transformed wife"

[evenifigoalone]

Have you heard of "The Transformed Wife"? What's your opinion on her? She's rather infamous.

To sum up the most controversial of her teachings....
She believes that married women should never work (basically her advice is if the husband's income alone isn't enough then God will work it out), and teaches that women shouldn't go to college. She also believes that a man who has sex with his wife while she's asleep isn't committing spousal rape. She advises women in abusive relationships to "practice submission".

I'm not a fan of her's in the least, but I'm just curious if anyone else has heard of her.

Never heard of her. When did she live? Early 1800's?

I hate to give her clicks tbh, but: The Transformed Wife
She also has a facebook, twitter, and youtube channel

I believe a wife should be submissive - BUT this lady is a nutcase.

I followed the links....and spent some hours reading blog post after blog post.
I suspected she was being misrepresented here (and of course she is) and to paraphrase Disney's Iago: "I am going to have a heart-attack and die of not surprise"

I don't find many objectionable things on her website or her blog.
She's hard core no doubt, and probably more severe than I would be, but she's not a nutcase.

And of course this statement:

She advises women in abusive relationships to "practice submission".

Is at best reductionist, more closely akin to ignorant or dishonest.
She links immediately to the domestic abuse hotline, instructs women to leave the situation, and says to call law enforcement.
Whenever anyone, for any reason espouses some anti-feminist or traditional marriage roles, the immediate response is to bring up "abuse" as though they were inherently intertwined.
She may be pretty strict in her views, but she's no nutcase.

She also believes that a man who has sex with his wife while she's asleep isn't committing spousal rape.

I don't either.
Not many decades ago, practically no one would have thought that.
"Spousal Rape" is (almost by definition) an oxymoron.

Yup, it wasn't until the 70's that there were any meaningful laws in the U.S. and all 50 States really didn't recognize it until 1993.

I realize that all of our forefathers were merely stupid, unenlightened, brutish, sexist Neanderthals, and we, the particular generations of the last 50 years are possessed with far more wisdom than the collective wisdom of essentially all societies throughout all of history up to this incredibly tiny point in human history; but I'm just grateful for it. We are, after all, the enlightened sophisticants who do not know the difference between a boy or a girl, believe that people of the same gender (which is fluid and ever changing now?) can enter into a state even plausibly called "marriage" and slaughter our babies by the millions in abortion clinics.

There's centuries of legal, theological and philosophical reasoning behind that thinking which is far deeper than simply saying "Yikes" is a meaningful response to. She is hardly alone in her thinking.

If you want your marriage to last, one of the best ways to assure it is to marry a woman without a college indoctrination, while the man is the sole breadwinner. Women are the weak link in modern marriages.

You're just making me glad that I'm asexual and uninterested in marriage

I have not double checked this claim of yours, but I'll take your word for it and concede on this one issue. However I suspect that her views of what constitutes abuse are questionable, just based on what I've seen from her and remember reading from her. I'd have to look closer at her blog to give a specific example though.

She did have one entry a while back where she praised a woman for staying in an abusive relationship and showing submission to her husband. That's harmful.


I can't say that anything in this thread has been a surprise to me. I more or less expected everything that's been said so far, I was just curious how prevalent it was.

Anyways, I'm about to clock into work, so I can't stay.

He's a troll. Ignore him.

Don't read anymore about women [or men] like this. They are out there [and here] and just walk away, click on another link, and give them no attention. Read your Bible and cleave to what God says.

This, I have not read, but I'd be surprised if she did. If so, that is wrong.
Then again, I can see her arguing that divorce is not acceptable even if separation is necessary.
I could appreciate that argument.
It depends on what is meant by "staying in".
That can mean refusing to divorce but protecting oneself and their children (as I suspect she'd argue) or it could mean leaving oneself at risk.
I am doubtful she's suggesting that, but, if she did she's a loon.

The new one (and I agree).

Are you divorced?
