Every marriage has its moments when things feel off — the quiet distance, the bickering, the tension that won’t quit. In this episode, I’m sharing the same steps I use to recognize and address these issues quickly, allowing you to realign and restore harmony in your relationship.
Listen and walk away with practical, scripture-centered steps to assess, give space, and bring calmness to alleviate any tension in your marriage and help you to reconnect with your husband.
By applying these strategies, you can cultivate a nurturing and loving atmosphere that not only deepens your bond but also strengthens your relationship.
Let’s get started.
Have you tried to break free from the sin in your life only to take three steps forward and two steps back? Are you frustrated by the same mistakes that feel impossible to shake. In this episode, I share a four-step process, rooted in Scripture, that will turn your stuttering progress into a steady transformation.
Through humble self-examination, confession, practical replacements for sinful habits, and reliance on the Holy Spirit, each small, faithful tasks will add up to lasting change.
Listen in as faith, hope, and practical wisdom meet — and learn how to move from repeating patterns to becoming the woman and wife you long to be.
Let’s get started.
I thought it was his fault—until a quiet lunch revealed the truth. In this episode, I’ll take you on a candid journey from pride and defensiveness to humility and healing, uncovering five common habits that will make or break your marriage along the way.
Be warned, as I will be inviting you to pause, reflect, and ask yourself a tough question: does the change in my marriage need to start with me? Each habit comes with clear signals to watch for, what to replace it with, and how the new, Christlike response will reshape your home.
Tender, challenging, and warmly practical, this episode equips women to choose humility over pride, appreciation over complaint, and transparency over secrecy—offering both hope and concrete next steps for a marriage that reflects God’s design.
Let’s get started.
Too often, the busyness of life along with the frustrations of any given day, get in the way of showing any kind of appreciation or gratitude for the blessing your husband is in your life.
This is all a part of the enemy’s plan to keep you distracted from what is good and to only focus on what is going wrong or not quite the way you want it to be.
Come take a quiet moment with me to remember the blessings hiding in everyday marriage. To push past the busy distractions to a fresh gratitude of ten simple, biblical reasons to be thankful for your husband today.
With stories, Scripture, and gentle encouragement, this episode shows how honoring your husband’s work, leadership, protection, and shared faith can rekindle joy and strengthen your relationship. Listen, reflect, and leave with a practical heart-shift that turns criticism and complacency into love and appreciation thankful heart.
Let’s get started.
Join me as I show how three core beliefs of modern feminism have quietly reshaped our homes and hearts. Through some vivid examples—from sitcoms that normalize disrespect to everyday choices that sow division—you will see how these beliefs are eroding today’s marriages.
The beliefs of feminism go directly against God’s design for marriage, which is why so many relationships are struggling to make it work.
Today you will hear scripture brought to life, be invited to confront hard truths, and be given practical, faith-filled steps to restore peace, purpose, and joy in your marriage.
Let’s get started.
When fear, past hurts, or self-reliance keep you from fully supporting your husband, peace and unity can feel out of reach. In this episode, I’ll help you to walk through a powerful decision of choosing to trust your husband by putting your faith and trust in God.
Through Scripture, my own personal stories, and a listener’s testimony, I will show you how a conscious change of heart—rooted in God’s sovereignty—can transform communication, restore respect, and bring peace to your relationship.
Let’s get started.
At one point in my marriage, I had tried everything—manipulation, fixing, controlling—only to be frustrated because nothing worked. Most of my efforts were more about fixing my husband than myself, until I realized I was doing it all wrong.
In this episode, I’m sharing about my own journey of learning to stop pushing and start trusting God’s wisdom, presence, and power.
Through small acts of surrender, prayer, and learning God’s design for marriage, I discovered how the Holy Spirit quietly transforms our hearts—mine and my husband’s—and how releasing control became the doorway to a 42-year love story rebuilt by grace.
Join me today as I show you why and how to trust God for the transformation you want to see in yourself and your marriage.
Let’s get started.
Imagine standing at a crossroads in your marriage, knowing there’s a better way but unsure what it looks like. In this episode, I’ll walk you through a simple, powerful map—four expectations from Scripture that guide a wife’s heart, speech, service, and motive. Through gentle stories, hard truths, and practical encouragement, I’ll show how small choices each day can turn tension into tenderness and resentment into restored joy.
As someone who has already walked the path that you are on right now, I know what the struggles are and how keeping these 4 expectations at the forefront of your mind can guide you through. Whether you’re wrestling with fear, anger, or selfishness, this episode offers hope: a roadmap to living out faith in your marriage that glorifies God and changes your home.
Let’s get started.
This week, I’m walking you through the delicate art of correcting your husband without sacrificing your respect for him. Using real-life examples, scriptural insight, and practical steps, I will help you to discern when to speak and when to stay silent, how to choose battles wisely, and how to distinguish between personal correction and a biblical reproof.
You will learn a step-by-step approach of prayerful preparation, timing, affirmation, clear examples, patient silence, and collaborative solutions—plus how to reprove sin in a way that points back to God.
Let’s get started.
In this episode I’m pulling back the curtain on a struggle every married woman faces: the sting of being corrected. Beginning with a personal story—growing up in a prideful home and a small but revealing moment involving an apple and a spoon—I will set the stage for some honest reflection.
I will also lead you through a compassionate, scripture-rooted journey: where you’ll learn to pause and pray, ask for clarity, search the Bible for truth, humbly accept responsibility, and make an intentional plan to change. Each step will transform defensiveness into an opportunity for mutual sanctification and deeper unity.
This practical roadmap will help you receive correction with humility, restore tenderness in your marriage, and walk together toward Christlikeness.
Let’s get started.
As godly wives, we are called to be submissive to our husband’s leadership. We know that God has given him the responsibility as the head of the household to be the decision-maker of the family.
But what if we don’t agree with his decision? What if we are concerned with the consequences, with what seems to be a lack of responsibility or understanding of the situation, or we just think it’s a bad idea? What do we do then?
Today, I’m sharing the same 4-step process that I use in making decisions with my husband. This will also be especially helpful for those times when you don’t agree with his decision or in how he is handling the responsibilities of the household.
As a bonus, I will also be sharing with you the verses I use to pray over my husband and myself, verses that help us to be on the same page and in unity with our decisions.
Let’s get started.
Seeking God‘s word for what it is to be a godly wife can seem a bit overwhelming. It’s not like the verses are all right there together, giving us the instruction that we are looking for, but rather they are spread throughout the Scriptures.
Just because we find them doesn’t mean that we fully understand how to apply them to our lives today. Many of you have questions of how do I live this out in my marriage? What does this really look like on an everyday basis?
To help you with this, I have gathered together six key verses for what it is to be a godly wife, as well as some practical steps for how you can live this out in your own marriage.
Let’s get started
When it comes to your relationship with your husband, what do you focus on? Is it on what needs to be done, the next task, or what it is that you would like to see changed or accomplished? Are you always looking at the gap in your marriage of where you are now compared to where you would like to be?
Many of us do this; however, it causes stress by making us feel that we always must be working towards that next thing, as well as a lack of contentment because we portray an attitude that it’s never enough, we’ve never arrived.
Today we’re talking about relieving some of that stress by making a simple change in your focus. How you can bring more contentment and joy into your relationship by learning to focus on 4 key areas in your marriage.
Let’s get started.
As believers, we desire to be known for our faith. To come to the end of our days and hear, well done thy good and faithful servant. But how do we get there?
With all of the worldly influences that are around us, how do we live faithful lives as believers.
Today I’m sharing what I have learned about this from my own life and what I wish someone would have shared with me early in my walk with the Lord.
Things like how to check where my faith really lies, what it takes to have true faith in God, and how to live out my faith, everyday. If you have a desire to live a life of faith, let’s get started.
We talk a lot about how to become a submissive wife and what it takes to do so. Today, we’re going to look at the blessings that we receive as we strive to become the wife that God has called us to be.
In doing this, it’s not just about us becoming a better wife. But there are blessings that you will receive for yourself and as a family. Blessings out of your obedience to God, of peace & joy in your life, and the blessing of not only changing the tone of your marriage, but the possibility of saving it from ruin.
I have lived this and can tell you that there are significant lifelong blessings for those who are willing to embark on the journey of becoming a godly submissive wife. Join me today as we discuss what those blessings are and how you can begin to receive them.
Let’s get started.
Over the last couple years in doing this podcast, through all of my research and conversations with my husband, I have learned a secret about men. It’s one that I find most wives are not aware of, however it is vital to having love, peace, and joy in your marriage relationship.
This secret has to do with a man’s God-given desire in his role as a husband and how he perceives the thoughts and comments of his wife.
As I said, I have talked to my husband about this, I’ve talked to other wives who have asked their husbands about this, and we have all found it to be true.
So join me as I reveal to you this vital secret about respecting your husband, that every wife needs to know.
Let’s get started.
As much as we love our husbands, they can be rather frustrating. Making trying to respond to them with grace and love seem nearly impossible at times.
We also have the concern that if we show grace by letting a rude comment or them being a bit selfish slide, that we will be forever mistreated by our husbands.
But, what did God do? He showed us grace while we were still deep in sin and quite unlovable. He didn’t wait for us to behave rightly before he responded with grace and nether should we.
Even though we know this to be true, putting it into practice can be a challenge. In this episode, we will chat about what grace really is, why we sometimes fail in showing it, and some practical steps of how even in those difficult moments, how to respond to our husbands with grace.
Let’s get started.
In light of the unimaginable tragedy that has happened here in Texas, some of you have asked, ”Where is God in all of this?” You’re struggling to maintain your faith or to reconcile yourself against a God that you know loves His children, but then allows something like this to happen.
It’s a complicated question, and my hope is to encourage you not to lose heart.
Together, we’ll look to Scripture for answers, drawing from the life of Job—a man who faced incredible hardship yet remained steadfast in his faith. This isn’t about diminishing the deep pain some are experiencing but rather offering support for those who are on the outside looking in. It’s about understanding that, although we can’t always see it, God has a plan and a purpose for everything.
Let’s get started.
Today, we’re diving into how asking for forgiveness can bring healing and change to yourself and your marriage. I know, it sounds a bit scary and we often hesitate because of pride or fear.
But ladies, through the power of Christ, this single act can do so much. The enemy understands this power and wants to keep you in your depression, despair and hurt. Which is why he does everything he can to keep you from even discussing forgiveness. Let’s not let him win!
We’ll chat about those secrets that you feel are too big to share and how to combat those negative thoughts with God’s truths. It’s all about breaking the chains of pride and opening the door to genuine communication and connection with your husband.
We will also go over exactly what this looks like so you can do it with confidence. It’s time to discover what the simple act of asking for forgiveness can bring.
Let’s get started.
Can one person change the course of a marriage? Absolutely. However, it cannot be done by forcing the issue, coercion, or manipulation. Nor is it through constant conversations of how things need to be different, changed, or made better.
There is however, 1 simple step that every wife can start today, that can transform her relationship to the more loving marriage that she desires to have.
This step does not cost any money and is freely accessible to every woman who is willing to take it. Want to know what it is?
Well then, let’s get started.
