And if not, I fought you tooth and nail every inch of the way. And I said, I will quit my job tomorrow. I said, I just want to be one again. And John said, I don't think you need to quit your job, but I do think you need to quit thinking you're the source. Because we can know that God is the source or we think we're the source.
And I watched my husband go from a little boy that I nagged like a mother to a man that I respected as a leader when I stopped being his mother and I started to be his wife.
Well, and I do think there's been an emasculation of men and women trying to be men. And I mean, we've had this gender confusion as far as not. I don't even like to use that word anymore. We've got more roles confused where men have been shamed into trying to be more like women. Women have been told, if you want to be powerful as a woman, act like a man.
And so now we've got all these confused roles. And then if my husband, I love my husband. I have the best husband in the world. I always tell John, you are my favorite husband. He's like, I'm your only one. This version, John 2.0, 3.0, whatever. This is my favorite. But the truth is, John is not my source of life.
I love being a mother. There's nothing I love more than being a mother and a grandmother, but my grandchildren and my children aren't my source of life. If I do not get my life from Jesus.
Yes. Yes. I've written books. Yes. You know, I'm a New York Times bestselling author. Do you know what happens when that happens? Nothing. You get an email. That's it. If you live your whole life for some kind of achievement, nothing. You will live empty. And there comes a place where you realize that, you know, I live my husband to serve Jesus and serve him.
I mean, just even even it was so shocking to me. And women, they want to be loved. But I think I just posted something about marriages to people committed to bringing out the best in one another. Whereas early on in our marriage, we're trying to best one another. And women say things like, well, what if my husband's not committed to bringing out the best in me? I'm like, be the bigger person.
I mean, it's like people are so self-centered. So like it needs to be about me, my needs, my dreams, my hope. Well, there's no just me anymore once you get married. It's a one. And, and, and it's, it's just, it's so sad because so many people are missing the richness of marriage. John and I've been married 43 years this year. And I love it more now than I did when I married him.
Yeah, I mean, I think you're actually painting a very accurate picture of some of the things that we went through. My husband being a minister, it was almost like a badge of honor to say, I was only home three days this month and I have this many miles on my flights. And I told John, We get you at your worst. You come home and it's a laundry drop. And you're tired, you're grumpy with the boys.
And I used to say, when do you leave again? And he'd be like, why are you saying that? I'd be like, because it's easier when you're gone. And so we had to actually have some conversations around that to keep that a priority. So I'm not allowed to travel and speak unless John approves my schedule and I approve his.
So when he gets invited, it gets sent to me and I see his schedule and then we talk it over. I have, I think, 48 hours to either talk to him about it or approve. If I don't answer, then it's an automatic approve. But we always sit down and we say, okay, this is what this looks like. If you go on this trip or if I go on this trip, we will not see each other for 10 days. Are we okay with that?
And then we're like, OK, we're OK with that if we can make margin over here for us.
And so we've made our time together a priority. And again, we're empty nesters, but I already mentioned John's Italian, I'm Sicilian. We have six of our nine grandkids down the street. We walk down the street almost every single night, read books to grandkids, kiss them goodnight. We want to be close to family, but we also want our kids to be able to build their own family.
So we're watching our kids do it better because of our mistakes. I want to tell you guys this crazy story because I feel like it fits into what's going on behind the marriage. So I live here in Franklin, Tennessee. It's a Christian bubble. There's a coffee shop, and I was interviewing someone for a job, and I decided to wear this T-shirt that said, the future is male and female.
The men were looking at me, smiling, like, thank you. Thank you for including us in the future. I'm like, you're welcome. I had some women come up to me, and they're like, I want that T-shirt. I thought, okay, everybody's happy. So I put on sunglasses and I take a selfie and I write, the future is male and female. And because without male and female, there is no future. And that's not really deep.
That's just your parents. And so I'm thinking everybody's happy. 922 comments later, people have blown up my social media. You are co-signing with patriarchy. You're a Karen, which as a, I have dual citizenship with Italy. I'm like, you just called me a Karen. Okay. A bigot, a demon of hate, a transphobe, a homophobe, just all this.
I mean, any possible name that you can think of, I got called it. Then the Christians were fighting with the people for calling me names. And it was so much that I thought anytime there is something this disproportionately responded to, there is something more behind it. So I just typed into my computer and you guys could do this. Google search.
What is the origin of the quote, the future is female? And a Washington Post article came up And it was from, I believe, 2015, but it might have been 16. And it said the origin of the quote, the future is female, was from a lesbian separatist group called Labrys. And I thought, what in the world is Labrys? Well, Labrys is the two-headed axe carried by the Greek and Roman goddesses.
And then it said that the quote, the future is female. I mean, this is crazy. Was a call to war, an invocation and the spell to cast. And Hillary brought it into her campaign. 25% of the proceeds, not profits, go to Planned Parenthood. So they have blood sacrifice. They have witchcraft. They have a call to war. And so there has been a spiritual attack.
And if you go back to the roots of all of this, it's always deconstruction of the family, deconstruction of marriage. I had no idea as I deep dived into some of these topics that, and this is crazy. In 1969, 12 women got together in Greenwich Village and they said, why are we here today? And they said, to make a revolution. They said, what kind of revolution? Cultural revolution.
