What does it truly mean to be a Joyful Wife? In this special episode, I had the honor of being a guest on The Holistic Counselor podcast, where I was interviewed about my new book, The Joyful Wife.
We dive deep into what it takes to cultivate lasting joy in marriage—especially when life gets overwhelming.
If you’ve ever felt frustrated, unseen, or like joy is slipping away in your relationship, this conversation is for you.
I break down the mindset shifts, faith-based principles, and practical steps that can help you become a wife who thrives, no matter the season of marriage you’re in.
In This Episode, You’ll Discover:
✅ The inspiration behind The Joyful Wife and why this message is crucial for Christian wives.
✅ The Intimacy Bridge—a powerful framework to help you feel seen, heard, and deeply connected to your husband.
✅ The surprising shifts that create lasting joy in marriage, even when life feels overwhelming.
Scripture References:
📖 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.”
Action Step: This week, take a moment to reflect on your own Joyful Wife journey. Ask yourself: Am I waiting for joy to happen, or am I intentionally creating it in my marriage?
Then, take one small action—whether it’s expressing appreciation to your husband, spending quiet time with God, or choosing to respond with grace instead of frustration.
