Sometimes, as wives, we place such high value on keeping our marriage intact that we start to depend on it for things only God can provide — our security, our joy, or even our identity.
In this episode of The Worthy Wife Podcast, I’m sharing three ways I’ve seen women — myself included — unintentionally turn marriage into an idol. Together, we’ll explore how to recognize when our hearts have shifted away from God, by making our marriage and keeping our husbands happy the focus, and how to place our hope and confidence back in Him, right where it belongs.
Here’s what I’ll walk you through:
-
Recognizing fear-based attachment — those moments when I catch myself believing my marriage is fragile or that I couldn’t survive without it.
-
Reclaiming my joy and fulfillment in God — instead of expecting my husband or my marriage to make me happy.
-
Rebuilding my personal trust in the Lord — learning to rely on Him directly, rather than handing that responsibility over to my husband.
I’m reminded through Psalm 18:2 that “The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer.” When I anchor my heart in Him, I find that I can love freely, trust deeply, and live confidently — even in an imperfect marriage.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
