Welcome to Week Two of The Marriage Refresh.
This eight-week experience is designed to help women reset their hearts, minds, and marriages using simple, biblical, practical skills.

This week’s focus is Receiving — a skill that is often misunderstood, underestimated, and yet absolutely foundational to intimacy with God, with yourself, and with your husband.

Receiving isn’t passive.
It’s powerful.
And it may be the missing link between striving and peace.

• Why receiving is the essence of femininity and central to our relationship with God

• How control quietly blocks our ability to receive love, help, gifts, and apologies

• The four concrete places to practice receiving:

  • Compliments

  • Gifts

  • Help

  • Apologies

• Why receiving is the micro-step before gratitude — and why gratitude can’t exist without it

• How receiving changes:

  • Emotional safety in marriage

  • Physical intimacy

  • Your husband’s desire to give

• The subtle ways women unintentionally reject love — and how to gently shift

• How to receive your husband’s heart even when his expression misses your preferences

• What it looks like to receive blessings without managing, correcting, or controlling them

• Why God delights in blessing His daughters — and what happens when we finally believe Him

• 3 John 1:2

• Romans 8:31–32

• 2 Peter 1:3

• Genesis 12:2

For the next month, practice this one thing:

👉 Smile and say “thank you”
Every time you receive:

• A compliment

• Help

• A gift

• An apology

No explaining.
No correcting.
No minimizing.

Just receive.
