Love By Faith

We continue our 3-part story of unmet expectations with a chapter where Kyle & Selina experienced unspoken love languages and how it affected their marriage.

We tell the raw middle chapter of our unmet expectations story and why a missed “spa day gift” exposed something deeper than a calendar mistake. We work through love languages, the difference between processing and punishing, and how consistency changes connection in a Christian marriage. 

• recap of the first-day-of-school expectation and why it hurt 
• turning the phone off to avoid lashing out and to pray 
• “do not let the sun go down on your wrath” as a heart check 
• gifts as a love language and why frequency matters 
• the decision to restrict touch and affirmation to create understanding 
• the debate on lesson versus revenge and “being the Holy Spirit” 
• the moment it clicks and what empathy changes 
• practical habits for husbands and wives to meet needs on purpose

In this new series of "Unmet Expectations", we share a 3-part story on missing the ten-year message. 

We share the story of the first full day all three kids are in school and how Kyle missing Selina’s long-communicated spa day dream creates one of the most painful disappointments in our marriage. We break down how unmet expectations connect to love languages, why “too little, too late” can still hurt, and how prayer, journaling, and accountability help us repair and grow.

• Unmet expectations as a hidden wedge in marriage
• The 10-year spa day goal and why it mattered
• Half-day orientation and the movie as a stopgap
• The first full day with no celebration and the emotional fallout
• Processing pain through journaling, prayer, and accountability
• Gifts as a love language and why words alone do not land
• Kyle’s attempted repair with a lasting gift and why it was rejected
• Takeaways for husbands on listening and executing
• Takeaways for wives on checking the heart and approaching hard talks well

In the last leg of the "A Better Woman" series, we talk about how a better woman enhances her marriage by prioritizing herself. 

We unpack why caring for yourself is not selfish but strategic, and how spiritual, physical, and emotional self-care can renew joy, reduce resentment, and make marriage warmer and more fun. From hair appointments to Bible rhythms, we build systems that keep peace alive.

• the cost of silent standards and people-pleasing
• the “dog gets groomed, I don’t” wake-up call
• building systems so self-care is automatic
• hormones, stress signals, and practical health steps
• finding a spiritual practice that truly feeds you
• how her self-care triggers better dates and support
• style, color, seasons, and mood-lifting choices
• small daily joys that compound into confidence

A better woman... communicates courageously! In this episode, we unpack why “hinting” isn’t communication, how fear and past hurt silence honest words, and how clarity can feel kind, brave, and deeply loving. Practical scripts, a playful sock roleplay, and Proverbs 31:26 ground a faith-first approach to building trust.

• season context and why “a better woman” matters
• tech setbacks and staying faithful to the mission
• passive aggression vs clear, direct requests
• perception gaps between men and women
• fear, insecurity, and therapy-informed insights
• husbands removing landmines to create safety
• roleplay: the sock script for respectful clarity
• applying courage to money, intimacy, and faith
• Proverbs 31:26 as the model for tone and truth
• teaching your spouse how to love you through words
