Wife to Wife Wednesday: Lingerie for Christians

Good morning! 

Welcome to Wife to Wife Wednesday, the day that we discuss any and all issues relating to marriage. 

This month my husband and I celebrate 5 years of marriage! In honor of that facet, I have been focusing my Wife to Wife Wednesday posts on physical intimacy in marriage. You can read the intro here and last week we talked about Body Image in the Marriage Bed. 

This week I want to tackle where to buy lingerie when you are a Christian woman.  

I have three small children so going into a store to buy just about anything is difficult, but it is especially difficult when I have to try things on! So when it comes to buying anything that I wear, I almost always buy it online. 

I don't know about you but trying to buy lingerie can be a super frustrating and embarrassing experience if you aren't super careful. 

I really do not want to see what is essentially pornography when I am trying to find an outfit to share with my husband. If you type in lingerie you will get a whole host of images that you just really don't want to see. So, where can a Christian woman go to buy lingerie without feeling gross or skeezy and at the same time not just trusting amazon? 

Let me tell you about my two favorite places!

I came across Virtuous Weddings that has a list of places where you can buy lingerie. This blog breaks each website down based on modesty of the images presented, sizes available, how... enticing the lingerie is. I think it is brilliant and could be a great tool for any wife looking to surprise her husband with something fun while also not exposing herself to imagery she really doesn't need to see.

I am in love with the website Honoring Intimates. I think that their lingerie is fun, affordable, and presented modestly. I love the fact that they don't assume Christian women are just looking for floor length nightgowns. Most of us want pretty, flirty, fun outfits to wear too, and HI delivers! They also go from size 2 to size 20, which means almost everyone can find what they are looking for. They also have a subscription option where each month you will get a brand new outfit (is that the right term??) delivered to your door! 


Don't be afraid to wear fun clothing in the marriage bed. Nothing in the Bible says that lingerie is wrong between a husband and a wife. Try out various things, ask your husband what he likes (with the modest images you can be comfortable showing him what you are thinking about!) and just have fun with it! 

Modest Maternity:Black Leggings

Good Morning! Welcome to another Modest Maternity!

You can read more about my reasons for wanting to write about how to have a modest (yet stylish!) maternity wardrobe here. As I mentioned previously, the goal of Modest Maternity is to feature one item of clothing each week. I will show you four ways to style the featured piece of the week. I will try my best to tell you where it came from (including a link if possible!) as well as how much I paid for it. Since the term maternity includes postpartum, I have decided to include my postpartum wardrobe in our Modest Maternity series! I will post up pictures of the clothes I wear that help me to feel beautiful and allow for easy nursing.

Today I will be featuring my leggings! I so enjoy these tights, I pair them with tunic style shirts which I bought in the plus size section on clearance at Walmart. I wear these tops because they are so easy to nurse in and they are very forgiving of my post baby body. The leggingspair nicely with them. These tights are capri length and solid black. They also come in  many other colors and styles. 

With that being said, lets begin!  

Black Leggings: Amazon $10.98
Blue Tunic Top: Walmart $5.00

Black Leggings: Amazon $10.98
Maroon Tunic Top: Walmart $7.00

Black Leggings: Amazon $10.98
Pink Tunic Top: Walmart $5.00
