Introduction to CCW:
Hey ladies! We are so glad you joined us! Here is a little introduction into CCW and why we started it!
“The fact that I am a woman does not make me a different kind of Christian, but the fact that I am a Christian makes me a different kind of woman.”
Hey ladies! I am Isabel! I am writing this to give you an intro to our website and what we hope you get out of this website.
I have always had a desire to help other wives. While I have only been married for 3 years, the Lord has really been teaching me and shaping me more into His image. I have learned so much as a wife and I want to share it with others. I got married at 18 years old. While many consider that extremely young, I saw it as a blessing! I get to spend the rest of my life with my best friend. Marriage has truly been a blessing and I would not change a thing. When I announced I was getting married, I got a lot of dirty looks and a lot of feedback from people who had no clue. It was extremely discouraging to me. While our families were supportive, it was still tough to deal with the negativity. I sought out every video and blog I could on young marriage, just trying to get some insight and answers. I wanted to make sure I was honoring the Lord with my decision, and not doing what my flesh wanted. After much prayer, I knew marriage was what the Lord wanted and so did my, now, husband.
After marriage, God began to shape me and mold me in more ways than I could imagine. I learned what sacrifice meant, I learned what it means to truly love, and I learned a lot about forgiveness. I am still learning, and God is still shaping me and molding me more into His image! I knew I wanted to help other wives who may had gone through similar struggles as I did and having someone to be a listening ear and offer prayer really helps. Sharing my story and things I have learned has always been in my heart.
I started up my own blog about 3 years ago called wife2wife.com. It got some traffic, but with working and being a homemaker, posting every week on my own became a chore. I still have it sitting in the corner in case I ever want to pick it back up. (I can’t make myself let it go just yet.)
“Encouraging wives to store up God’s Word in their hearts, to understand more of who He is, and to exemplify Christ in their daily lives.”
Now, to the good part! CCW Facebook group was started in 2024, and it grew very fast. In other groups, I noticed that those groups were geared towards everyone. They had a mix of beliefs and ideas… and it easily became chaotic. Christian and Conservative Wives really stuck with me, and it has helped build a community of like-minded women. While we do not really get much into politics, most of us agree on the main things:
Marriage is for a man and woman (like God designed)
Babies are such a gift and blessing, and we are to treat them as such. (we do not agree with abortion)
Encouraging wives take on the more traditional role of being at home, raising and teaching her children, and recognizing the husband has the head of the home.
Before you groan, we do NOT condemn any wife who works full-time or wants to work to help provide for her family. In today’s time, it is extremely hard to do make ends meet. However, you can still learn some things here and there that may help you manage your home better and love your husband to the fullest.
While we recognize the husband as the head of the home, we do not encourage abuse or women to stay in abusive marriages. We love you ladies are praying for wisdom and guidance if you are in that situation.
When ladies hear the word submit, they get offended immediately. Biblical submission is not what society says it is. We as Christians are called to respect our husbands, and they are called to LOVE us. Love and respect work together to make a beautiful marriage that glorifies the Lord.
“For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.” This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church. However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.”
Ephesians 5:31-33
Back to the point… as I get side tracked! After seeing the growth, I was in shock and I did not know why, but so many wives were flocking to this group! I knew that it had to be from the Lord, and it was a blessing to see. I began praying for these women, their families, and for guidance. Audrey joined me in being an Admin over the group not long after it took off. (Fun Fact: I met Audrey through CCW and we hang out a good bit!!) After seeing the growth, I knew I could not just let it be a Facebook group… these ladies needed more! They deserve it! We released some T-Shirts for merch to help us fund future content, and I thought no one would even purchase them. They were pricy and it just seemed to be a mess. I prayed about selling those shirts, and we sold just under our goal! WOW! God is good.
I discussed starting a blog with Audrey, and we wanted to offer this as a resource for you all. We wanted this to be a place where you can quickly get recipe ideas, homemaking tips, videos, read other CCW testimonies or stories, and so much more. I understand the frustration when it comes to searching for a recipe for dinner, and you have to scroll and scroll just to get to the recipe! I understand frustration in feeling like you are alone in your struggles, and guess what…you aren’t! We have had many CCW ladies reach out offering to tell their story or share their testimony. Many of these ladies have gone through infertility, anxiety, sinful situations, temptations, understanding submission, and the list goes on. God has brought these ladies out of the darkness and into the light. Many just want to offer their wisdom in any way they can! They want to share their story with you all. It is encouraging to have this community and I am so grateful for each and every one of you. God truly is amazing and I hope you enjoy this blog.
“ Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good. Then they can urge the younger women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God.”
