Do you ever feel like no matter how you try to express your needs, it only leads to arguments, silence, or defensiveness?
You’re not alone.
Many Christian wives struggle to communicate in a way that their husband truly hears—without it turning into conflict. But what if I told you there’s a secret to getting through to your husband without nagging, avoiding, or walking on eggshells?
In today’s episode, I’ll share a Christ-centered approach that helps you express your needs in a way that draws your husband closer rather than pushing him away.
We’ll explore why traditional communication methods often fail and how embracing the mind of Christ can transform your marriage.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
✅ Why your husband sometimes seems to tune you out—and what to do about it
✅ The common communication mistakes wives make (and what works instead)
✅ How one simple shift can lead to deeper understanding and connection
✅ A practical, faith-based action step you can apply today
Plus, I’ll be sharing a powerful "it's like..." analogy to make this concept crystal clear!
Bible Verses to Reflect On:
📖 Proverbs 14:1 – "A wise woman builds her home, but a foolish woman tears it down with her own hands."
📖 Galatians 6:9 – "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up."
📖 Psalm 127:1 – "Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain."
