Have you been hit with the devastating blow that your husband is looking at pornography? Maybe you have just found this out for the very first time or maybe this has been an ongoing issue in your marriage. Where either your husband thinks there's nothing wrong with it, has said he will stop but never does, or has truly tried to change, but just can't seem to break the grip that it has on him.

When this happens we have so many questions. Wondering, what can we do about it, how do we get our husbands to understand the problem, or to help them stop? Is it really our fault like some husbands will say it is? Is it a battle that they struggle with or something that they are choosing to do behind our backs? How can I help my husband in this and what resources are out there to help us? Is there any hope that he will change and that our marriage can be restored?

I know that all of this is whirling in your mind right now, but take a deep breath because during the next two episodes, we are going to answer these questions. We'll look at the hope that we have in Christ, how this starts and why, and what you can do as a wife to help yourself, your husband, and restore your marriage. I will also be sharing some resources that can be very helpful for you and your husband.

I'm here for you. Let’s get started.

We all want to be happy. Have happy lives and raise happy kids. When men get married they are told to remember one thing; "Happy wife, happy life".

But with all the stresses and responsibilities of our daily lives, the worries of are we a good wife, are we raising our kids well, and the uncertainties of what the future may hold, how does one maintain any kind of happiness?

As I was reading one day, I came across a place in scripture that unlocks for us the secret to happiness. It identifies for us what steals our joy and how to have the true happiness in our lives that we all long for.

Not only can I not wait to share with you what I found, but to also share my personal story of how God has been working this out in my own life.

Let's get started.

We talk a lot about what a submissive wife looks like and learning how to become one. But what if? What if we decided not to follow God in this. That we wanted to maybe follow somethings, but not all, or set His teachings aside altogether and go our own way. What would happen then?

There are non-believers who have good marriages, ones that stand the test of time. Maybe our marriage would be like theirs and we'd be fine.

In this episode we're going to take a good hard look at the truth, as I share with you 7 hurtful consequences of the unsubmissive wife.

In this episode we'll dive into the life of Sarah, a pivotal figure in the Bible who God refers to as the mother of nations. She is known for her faith and submissiveness, but also portrays a bit of jealousy, impatience, and even harshness, when she doesn't get her way.

Through it all, we learn to trust in God's promises, even when we can't see the outcome, what it looks like to build a Christ-centered marriage, and the true beauty found in a gentle and quiet spirit.

Many of us enter into marriage having an idea of what we think it will be like. However, we soon realize that we are in uncharted waters and are in need of some guidance, if we want to achieve the marriage we have always dreamed of.

As Christian women, we know that we want to be a godly wife, that this is what is best for us and our marriage. We're just not sure what our role is in this and how to go about getting it.

I was much the same way when I got married. Knowing what I wanted the end result to be, but had no clue as to how to get there. Thankfully, I knew who had the answers. This was the start of my journey in becoming the wife I am today.

In this episode, I am sharing with you how to start your journey and what it is going to take to become the Godly wife that you want to be and to have the God designed marriage you've dreamed of.

Let’s get started.

Discuss how to balance your prayer time with daily life responsibilities and why your prayers may be hindered. I'm sharing some practical advice and solutions to these challenges, including seven simple changes you can implement today.
