  • Who wouldn't want to receive God's best for their marriage? As believers, we read about God and His blessings in scripture and we all want God’s best for our own lives. We want to receive His blessings for ourselves, our marriages and for our families.

    But how do we do this? Does both you and your husband need to live nearly perfect lives to receive God’s best? Are you afraid that maybe you’ve made a mistake or too many mistakes and now this is impossible for you?

    Are we being a bit over presumptuous to even think we could receive His best? Or that maybe to seek God’s blessings in our lives is a part of the prosperity gospel that we have been warned to stay away from.

    There is one simple truth, that I’m going to share with you today, in how we as believers can and do receive God’s best for ourselves and our marriages.

    Let’s get started.

  • Many of us want to learn how to be a submissive wife and what this looks like in today’s society? As I’ve said before, none of us walk down the aisle knowing this. It is something that is learned over time and in the thick of marriage. No matter our background, if we want to have the wonderful loving marriage that God designed for us, we will all need to learn for ourselves what this looks like in our everyday lives.

    To help with this, I'm sharing with you 4 best practices to cultivate a submissive relationship with your husband, and 4 behaviors that you would be wise to stay clear of.

    Scripture taken from the New King James Version®. Copyright © 1982 by Thomas Nelson. Used by permission. All rights reserved.

  • Scripture can be a bit vague as to how we are to treat those of the opposite sex. Couple that with our desire to push the limits, not wanting to hurt someone’s feelings, or society’s passion for attention and ever changing view on sex outside of marriage, and we can find ourselves in some pretty muddy water.

    What was once thought of as outrageous or scandalous behavior with someone of the opposite sex, is now not only commonplace, but often encouraged.

    But as Christian woman and wives, where do we draw the line? What conduct or behavior is acceptable to God and how do we keep ourselves or our husbands from falling into the slippery slope of an affair?

    Today we will look at God’s Word to bring us some clarity on what the expectation is in this, as well as some necessary boundaries to set in place to protect ourselves and our marriages.

    Let’s get started.

  • Hi girls, Today we're covering a topic that a member of our FB community has asked about and one that each of us will most likely face at one time or another in our marriages.

    As submissive respectful wives, what do we do when our husband sins or is allowing a stumbling block in his life that can lead him down a destructive path? Hurting both himself and our family.

    In this espisode we will look at what the Bible says about sin, judging others, the Holy Spirit’s role in this, and biblical reproof. All of which will help us with some practical steps as to what to do when our husband sins or allows stumbling blocks in his life.

    Let's get started.

  • Last week we asked the question, are you suffering in an unhappy marriage? One where your husband is maybe unkind or unloving and you fear that you will be bound in a loveless difficult marriage forever?

    We talked about some bad advice that is out there and even though it may seem biblical, it isn’t and will only lead you to more problems.

    We also began to look at the hope and peace that we have in Christ. How He is always with us and ultimately in control of everything.

    Today, we’re finishing our conversation as we chat about how through our trials, God is not only doing a work in us to strengthen our faith, but that as wives, we are in the unique position to be used for God's glory and purpose in reaching our husbands.

    Let’s get started.

  • Are you suffering in an unhappy marriage? One where your husband is maybe unkind, not the man you thought he was, unloving, or doesn’t consider your feelings?

    Have you prayed to God, tried to change things, but nothing seems to work? Are you looking for a way out because you fear that you will be bound in a loveless difficult marriage forever?

    If this is you, then I have two things for your today. One is a warning of bad advice that may sound good, may even appear biblical, but it isn’t and will only lead you down the wrong road.

    The other is hope! Hope of God's truth, love, sovereignty, and wisdom to give you guidance and strength to see you through.

  • Are you praying but feel like God isn’t hearing your prayers because nothing is changing in your life? Have you lost hope in your prayers and therefore lost hope in your marriage ever being what you want it to be?

    There is power in the Word of God and when we pray scripture, there is power in our prayers. The verses that we are going to begin to pray over your marriage today, are the basis for all marriages. They will apply to you in improving your marriage, no matter where you are in your relationship.

    They are what a loving, strong, biblical marriage is based on and as you pray them, you will be inviting the Holy Spirit to come and to do a mighty work in your life. Are you ready for this?

  • In the last two episodes we have looked at how Christ loves the church as an example of what the husband's role is in marriage. Knowing that none of us can live up to the perfect love of Christ, we have also talked about what our realistic expectations of our husbands should be.

    By knowing what their role is, having grace and mercy to understand that we are all a work in progress, by being encouraging, rather than fight against them, we can work together with our husbands to have the kind of loving marriage that God designed for us to have.

    So join me as we finish up our journey of a realistic view of the husband’s role in marriage, what our expectations should be, and how we as wives can help to encourage a more Christlike love in our marriage.

  • Last week we began our journey into the husband's role in marriage as we looked at Christ's example of an active love and a sacrificial love. We also looked at what our realistic expectations should be in this and how when we do our part as wives, we are helping to support our husbands in their role as well.

    As we continue our conversation, we will discuss 3 more examples of how Christ loves the church with His protecting love, purifying love, and caring love. We will go over what these look like in practical terms and when it may be time to have a conversation to make some changes.

    Join me as we unpack these vital aspects of a God-designed love and follow His amazing plan for our marriages

  • Many of us come into marriage with notions of what it will be like. Some of our ideas come from what we saw with our parents or other relatives, what we have seen portrayed in sitcoms, movies or what we have read in books.

    We also may know what scripture says about the roles of husbands and wives and have our own version as to what this looks like in our minds.

    However, are we accurate and realistic of our husband's role? Are we expecting too little or too much from them?

    Today, we will begin our journey into a realistic view of how a husband is to love his wife, as Christ loves the church. As well as how you can encourage him in his role to improve your relationship.

  • As we talked about last week, we all have stress or anxiety from time to time, and have felt the negative emotions of being annoyed, frustrated, or even angry in our marriages.

    Christen shared with us how the simple use of essential oils with the power of scripture, helped her with the stresses of law school and brought her back into a right relationship with the Lord.

    Today, we continue our conversation as Christen shares her testimony of how using a sensory routine enabled her to work through some of the negative emotions she was feeling in her marriage and to ward off the attacks of the enemy by taking her thoughts captive.

    It’s a relatable powerful testimony that you’re not going to want to miss.

  • As busy wives and moms, we all have a certain amount of stress and anxiety. Yes, we are told in scripture not to worry, however as we all know, that is much easier said than done.

    We also know that the blessing of being married, brings with it a gamut of emotions from love, excitement, and even joy, to feelings of being annoyed, frustrated, and yes, sometimes down right angry.

    My guest today is going to share with us how she used essential oils with the power of scripture, to calm her anxiousness, manage her stress level in the moment, and to work through her emotions as God worked to heal and strengthen her marriage.

    I’m so excited to be sharing this with you today!

  • As believers, many of us know that we should be a part of a church family and be attending church regularly. Last week we talked about how being a part of a fellowship of believes can help us to improve our marriage and our family’s life.

    However, the thought of finding one or what to even look for, can be an overwhelming and daunting task.

    As promised, I’m going to help you with that today by sharing with you what the foundational basis of a church should be, what their statement of faith should look like, and what to look for in finding a solid biblical church for your family.

    Let’s get started!

    Key points discussed in this episode include:

    Understanding the importance of a church's foundational basis, including the sufficiency of Scripture and doctrinal soundness.What to look for in a church's statement of faith and why it matters.The significance of Bible teaching and preaching in equipping the saints.The importance of doctrinal practice and living out the one another's in Scripture.How to identify if a church is preaching the full gospel truth and not a watered-down version.Recognizing the role of various ministries in a church and opportunities for serving.Warning signs to avoid, such as churches influenced by worldly views or those more concerned with traditions than equipping the saints.

  • It happens all the time, a problem arises, things get busy, and attending church becomes less and less of a priority or falls by the wayside altogether. We have well-meaning intentions that we are only going to skip church for a short time for this one thing.

    But then, as our weekends get filled up with activities, it becomes harder and harder to get back into the habit of getting everybody up, ready, and out the door on a Sunday morning.

    If this goes on long enough, we may even begin to lose sight of why we were going in the first place and what difference does it really make in our lives?

    But ladies, it does make a difference and can be a vital part of bringing about the changes that you want to see in yourself and your marriage. Today I want to encourage you by sharing with you 5 ways that being in church can improve your marriage and your family life.

    Let’s get started.

    In this episode:

    Biblical truth addressing common debates about the necessity of church attendance.Learn five transformative ways attending church can improve your marriage and family life.The importance of being part of a church family, not just for spiritual growth but also for the practical support it provides in challenging times.How church participation helps families grow and stay grounded in God's word rather than worldly influences.Bonus point about the blessings that come from being part of a church body.

  • As believers and women, we desire to please God and to please our husbands. To be the godly wife and woman that we read about in scripture. We also know that following God’s ways is what is best for our personal lives and our marriages.

    What we tend to struggle with is the how. How do we learn what God’s way are, what a submissive wife looks like, and how to be a woman with a gentle and quiet spirit?

    As a young wife I was the same way. I knew what kind of a life and marriage I wanted to have, I just didn’t know what my part was in getting it.

    Are your ready for it? Let’s get started.

    Topics covered in this episode include:

    The process of sanctification and how to allow God to change our hearts.The importance of intentional learning and applying God's wisdom to our lives.Practical ways to read and understand the Bible, making it a guide for life and marriage.Encouragement and strategies for spiritual growth, both personally and within your marriage.The role of the Holy Spirit in teaching us and guiding our growth in faith.Dealing with spiritual warfare and the enemy's attacks on our faith and marriages.Living out our faith in practical ways to transform our marriages and family lives.

  • I hear from women all the time, I wish my husband would do this or stop doing that. Maybe it’s to consider your feelings more, stop being busy with other things and spend more time with the family, or be the godly leader of the household.

    We feel that the only way to get our husbands to change or do things differently, is to in some way convince them to do so. Because we see a desperate need for change, we meet the problem head on and do all that we can to try to convince our husband’s to see things our way and to make the necessary changes to improve our relationship. Sound familiar?

    But what if? What if we stopped all that and did something different. A different approach that I think would give you a greater opportunity for success. Would you be willing to try it?

    If so . . . Let’s get started.
