Being married to a nonbeliever, or to a believer who has walked away from the Lord and is currently not following God, makes for a very challenging relationship. It brings with it a different set of priorities, goals, decision making, and a whole way of living life.

Learning to navigate this relationship can be especially difficult, because there doesn't seem to be many people who are an example to follow or lessons taught about how to do this successfully.

To help with this, I've invited my friend, Melody Allen, who has some personal experience in this area, to give us a little marriage advice of some dos and don'ts for this type of a relationship.

You'll probably want to take some notes on this one, so grab your pen and paper and let's get started.

We are told in various places of scripture to have faith and to be strong and courageous. In most cases this is said when men are about to fight in some kind of battle or to take over a people or land. 

But in 1 Samuel we read about a woman who showed great strength, faith and confidence in her marriage to a man that scripture describes as being harsh and evil in his doings.

The woman’s name is Abigail and as we study her story and her character, I pray that you draw strength, hope, and confidence from her example.

Let’s get started.

How often do we hear someone say; I trust God, but . . . Maybe you have even said or thought this yourself. We know that God is sovereign, that He loves us and wants what is best for us, and yet there are things we just can’t seem to let go of. Oh, we may give it to the Lord, but we end up taking it right back again by worrying and trying to fix the problem on our own.

As we will discuss today, this is caused by fear and unbelief. So I have 5 steps for you to help you to overcome your fear and learn to trust God for the outcome.

Girls, this episode is packed with scripture and info that you’re going to want to take notes on. Also, I will be asking you some questions and to write down your answers.

There are many problems in a marriage that can be resolved simply by communicating well. Being willing to share our thoughts and feelings and asking our husbands what theirs are.

We all know that men and women are different. We think differently, respond to things differently, and have different wants and needs. Add to that, the fact that each individual man and woman also has different personalities, as well as different likes and dislikes. Trying to understand the opposite sex is nearly impossible.

Today, I am interviewing my husband to see if we can maybe understand our men just a little bit better by finding out what a man’s view is on wives and marriage. 

Let’s get started. 

Ephesians 5:22-33

All of us can lose hope at one time or another. When our life or our marriage hasn’t turned out the way we planned and we feel that it will never change. When we have tried and tried to make the necessary changes, but nothing seems to work.

We can lose hope when the problem that we’re facing seems impossible to get through. When it seems that there is just no way past it. No way to heal from the hurt or the pain. No way to move forward.

But with God there is always hope! Because in Him, nothing is impossible. Our hope in man will fail us at some point. But the true hope found in God, never fails. 

If you have lost hope and are in despair. If you don’t see how your life, marriage, or husband will ever change or how you will ever be free from the situation that you are in. Then stick around and listen carefully as I share about how to find rest and peace in the true hope of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Let’s get started.

We don’t understand it when our husbands begin to change. When instead of being in church or with the family, they want to hang out with friends all night or shut themselves off in a room with their computer or phone.

We are hurt by this so we beg and plead for them to change, to go to counseling or whatever it takes, because we just want our husbands back.

However, what we are seeing is often times the outward affects of a much deeper problem concerning the heart. Today we’re chatting about spiritual warfare and how you, as his wife, can fight for your husband and your marriage.
