Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Ginger Taylor. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Hi Ginger, really happy you were able to join us today and we’re looking forward to sharing your story and insights with our readers. Let’s start with the heart of it all – purpose. How did you find your purpose?
I bought into the strong willed woman environment. I never wanted a man to tell me what to do. Unfortunately I found that in a marriage a man is not in the business of having a woman tell him what to do. I didn’t care and my first marriage failed. Se la vi was my thought. When I got married again and gave my life to the Lord…He told me to submit myself to my husband like I would to the Lord. I struggled with understanding this but the Lord revealed what He wanted. In the end I came to understand that my marriage could be amazing and that my husband could love me like I have never understood a love before because I submit myself to him. I found that there is a curse that we are under that prevents us from wanting to submit ourselves to our husbands.
Great, so let’s take a few minutes and cover your story. What should folks know about you and what you do?
Currently I am writing my next book while I am substitute teaching. I am hoping to be able to stay focused on my next book. I am also trying to launch my current book into as many book competitions as I can so that it gets as much exposure as I can give it. It has won several awards and I just got back from Miami so I am very excited about the exposure that it is getting.
There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?
Three most important qualities? I am going to stick with my book and what knowledge I am sharing in the relationship with my spouse. Under submission the three most important qualities I want to share would be… 1) When a woman is submissive to a husband she looks beautiful to him. He will adore her and want to do anything for her. She becomes valuable to him. He will not want to do anything to destroy that relationship. She becomes irreplaceable. Not that he couldn’t mess it up but that it would sure weigh heavy on him if he did.
2) As a Christian we find our purpose and our place in our relationship with our husband when we are submissive. It doesn’t mean that we are less than our husband. It means that we are a helpmeet and that we can help him become stronger and the two of us become a powerful team. I think non Christian’s might have a hard time with the thought process. They would reap the benefits of the process but never fully understand what Gods intentions were.
3) When we show respect to our husbands in the relationship our children then in return will do the same. They see that you need to respect those in authority and then will respect the authority that is before them and become good citizens. In my book I tried to show that it’s not just the husband that needs respect but anyone that is in authority. And when your children see you respecting authority they will in return do the same thing. However if it is not shown at home then it will not be done outside the home by the children either. So it begins with the wife showing respect to the husband. And what that looks like.
Awesome, really appreciate you opening up with us today and before we close maybe you can share a book recommendation with us. Has there been a book that’s been impactful in your growth and development?
The Bible has played the most important role in my development. I often find that people have no idea what it says. The Lord filled it with so much beautiful pieces of nuggets of wisdoms. I tried to fill my book with as much scripture to support the message of what I was trying to convey. Some of the nuggets that I used in my book were…. 1). Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord.
2) 1 Peter 3:5 ESV
For this is how the holy women who hoped in God used to adorn themselves, by submitting to their own husbands,
