Breaking the Silence + Reconnecting with Your Husband :: [Ep. 279]

Last week, we started talking to wives on how to (re)engage communication with their husband. This week, we are continuing the conversation. We will explore how wives can restore communication with disengaged husbands by addressing harmful communication patterns that create barriers to intimacy and connection.

We will talk about the following in this episode:

• How common malice—the intention to vex, annoy or injure—is within our communication
• Types of belittling behavior that is common and needs to stop
• The effect of rejecting compliments and what that communicates to your husband
• The effects of consistently seeking advice from others instead of your husband
• Non verbals within a conversation that push your husband away
• How to repair disconnection

If God has revealed areas where you've sinned against your husband, go to him and apologize specifically. Name what you've done, make it right, and express your desire to follow God and His Word.

We hope and pray you are helped and encouraged by this week's episode!

Your Words Matter: Why Your Husband Has Stopped Talking to You :: [Ep. 278]

Are you a wife who is longing for better communication with your husband but unsure of just how to get him talking more? Communication breakdown in marriages often stem from habitual habits that many wives have developed when it comes to communicating with their husbands which can cause husbands to disengage rather than drawing them into deeper conversation. By examining these sometimes destructive patterns and replacing them with biblical approaches focused on respect, humility, and patience, wives can create an environment where meaningful communication can flourish again.

We will cover the following in this week's episode:
• Evaluating wrong and right demands and their effects on the relationship
• Right demands (biblically sound desires) can still damage communication when not presented respectfully
• When passion about a topic increases, our respect must increase even more
• Ways that wives unknowingly communicate distrust in both God and their husbands
• Clothing yourself with patience, humility, and gentleness creates the space for real communication
• Important questions to ask yourself

Wives, this week, commit to laying your demands before God instead of your husband, trusting His sovereignty rather than your control.

We hope you enjoy and are encouraged!

Joy in Marriage :: [Ep. 277]

Joy in marriage isn't just for personal happiness but serves as a powerful testimony for Christ, showing others the benefits of following God. When couples follow God's design, their relationship becomes a living demonstration of God's undeserved love to a world that desperately needs to see it.

In this week's episode, we are covering the following:

• Why marriage is often reduced to roommates working through tasks rather than experiencing God's joy
• Christians frequently portray following God as difficult with little joy, making faith unattractive to others
• Learning from King Solomon who warns against worldly pursuits and encourages rejoicing in your spouse
• How Biblical marriage provides tangible language to explain Christ's love for the church
• Redemption in marriage isn't dismantling God's created order but recovering it

We hope as you listen, you are encouraged and blessed!
