Family Vision: Christian Parenting, Marriage & Family Advice

My Husband Won't Lead


Listen Later

What can you do when your husband isn't leading spiritually—or is constantly away for work? In this special Q&A episode of Family Vision, Rob and Amy Rienow respond to two heartfelt questions from wives facing these exact challenges. With honesty, biblical insight, and practical encouragement, Rob and Amy share how God helped them break unhealthy patterns in their own marriage and offer hope for others walking a similar road.

They also share a behind-the-scenes update on Visionary Family Ministries' growing mission around the world—and how you can be part of helping more families follow Jesus in 2026 and beyond.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:

- How to respond when your husband isn't spiritually leading

- Why long-term travel can impact spiritual leadership in the home

- The power of prayer, patience, and God's Word in difficult seasons

- How to support your husband without enabling passivity
