As a wife, you're doing everything you can to hold down the fort, right? Work, family, the home, but you crave that connection, that feeling of being partners and you're feeling lonely and longing for a deeper relationship with your husband.

On the other hand, your husband sees what he is doing as something that will eventually benefit the family and give you all that you've been wanting as a mother.

We all know that building a business takes time. And effort, but sometimes what tends to happen is that effort that has been put into building the business from your husband's standpoint is the very thing that stands in the way or potentially could lead to the cost of losing out important things.

This episode will focus on the challenges many Christian entrepreneur wives face, feeling disconnected from their husbands while they chase their dreams. We'll talk about what are some of the underlying feelings and experiences.

Our goal is to help you experience the marriage that you desire and deserve so that you can fulfill the God-given vision for your life and family
