“Whoever keeps the whole Law but falls short in one particular has become guilty in respect to all of it” (Jas 2:10). What is this one law if not true love, perfect charity? It is of this that Saint Paul also said: “For the whole Law is fulfilled in one statement, namely: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself'” (Gal 5:14)...
For true charity is patient in adversity and moderate in prosperity; strong in painful suffering, joyful in good works; completely safe in temptation. It is very gentle among genuine brothers, very patient among the false. It is innocent in the midst of snares, groans in the midst evildoing, and breathes naturally in the truth.
It is chaste in the married woman, Susannah, in the widow, Anna, in the virgin, Mary (Dn 13:1f.; Lk 2:36). It is humble in Peter's obedience and free in Paul's arguments. It is human in the witness of Christians, divine in the forgiveness of Christ. For true charity, beloved brethren, is the soul of the whole of Scripture, the strength of prophecy, the structure of knowledge, the fruit of faith, the wealth of the poor, the life of the dying. So keep it faithfully; cherish it with all your heart and all the strength of your soul (cf Mk 12:30).
- Saint Caesarius of Arles

For other women out there on the fence about this, I want to share my experience. It was hard for me to submit, I am a very hard-headed, need to be in control person. I know best, so there is no point in trying to tell me differently. I can run my life better than anyone else and I know what is best for me.—– This is how I thought and felt. As I have said many times, especially on this blog, I read Created to be his helpmate, and it actually made me mad, but it stirred something deep in my soul, something that I KNEW was right, but was too stubborn to admit.
I began reading with a better attitude and then the book actually made me happy and proud. That probably doesn’t make any sense, but it did. It made me proud that God chose me to be a helpmeet. So, I began submitting to my husband and things started to get better. Then I realized I needed to submit Joyfully, trusting him, and not second-guessing him. Boy, things really turned around then.
For a long time, I submitted because I was supposed to, it is only when I realized I needed to submit joyfully and without reservation, without wondering if by submitting to this decision, things would turn out bad that things really got so much better. Now, I trust my husband even more. It has taught me that he does have my best interests at heart and in his decisions. Yes, there are times I wish he would do things differently, but when that happens, I just have to stop the negative thinking and trust.
My favorite thing in Created to be his helpmate is when she talks about being your husband’s personal holy spirit. That’s not my job, that is God’s job and I just have to remember that if it is something that needs to be changed (as opposed to something I want changed, there is a big difference), then God will do the convicting. Often times, later when I look back on a situation, I realize how right my husband was and that I was emotional about it because, well for whatever reason (I guess I just tend to be more emotional).

St. Thomas More wrote to his daughter Margaret, who he called Meg. He is imprisoned in the infamous Tower of London where he is about to be executed.
“God’s grace has strengthened me until now and made me content to lose goods, land, and life as well, rather than to swear against my conscience. … I shall … with good hope commit myself wholly to him. …In good faith, Meg … my own good daughter, do not let your mind be troubled over anything that shall happen to me in this world. Nothing can come but what God wills. And I am very sure that whatever that be, however bad it may seem, it shall indeed be the best.”
St. Thomas More, pray for us 🙏🏼
