Imagine standing at a crossroads in your marriage, knowing there’s a better way but unsure what it looks like. In this episode, I'll walk you through a simple, powerful map—four expectations from Scripture that guide a wife’s heart, speech, service, and motive. Through gentle stories, hard truths, and practical encouragement, I'll show how small choices each day can turn tension into tenderness and resentment into restored joy.

As someone who has already walked the path that you are on right now, I know what the struggles are and how keeping these 4 expectations at the forefront of your mind can guide you through. Whether you’re wrestling with fear, anger, or selfishness, this episode offers hope: a roadmap to living out faith in your marriage that glorifies God and changes your home.

Let's get started.
