Take a moment and ask yourself this question:

What does your husband see when he looks into your eyes?

Does he see admiration?

Does he feel respected?

Or does he brace himself for another correction?

It's not an easy question.

Most wives don't wake up wanting to criticize their husbands. You simply want your marriage to be better. You want him to grow. You want your family to thrive.

But what if one of the greatest gifts you could give your husband isn't another suggestion...

What if it's genuine admiration?

This week, we explore why respect is "like oxygen" to a husband, how criticism can quietly wound your husband's heart, and how learning to admire the strengths God has placed in him can begin transforming your marriage—and with it, your home and your family.

If you've been praying for healing, this conversation may give you a completely new perspective.

With love,

PPS - Here is what (another) recent Coaching Graduate had to say:
"I remember the hardest part of my day was just coming home and preparing for the stress of being there. It felt like I was not even wanted at home. I felt emasculated, like my voice didn't matter, and even good things I did were met with resistance or suspicion... [Now that I've gone through the program,] her overall countenance has shifted from contempt to more secure...I don't feel unwelcome anymore in my own home. She's noticed the hard work I've been doing and has said that she does feel cherished by me. She's been texting me more funny Instagram videos, and I even got an affirmation about how she loves me over text while I was on a coaching call..."

Sometimes the smallest changes tell the biggest story.

In this week's conversation, Father Joe shares the very first change he noticed after his wife went through coaching.

She stopped telling him how to drive. (Yes, really!)

It might sound like a funny detail.

But to him, it represented something much deeper.

Less tension.

Less criticism.

More peace.

More grace.

And it made him wonder:

"What changed?"

The answer wasn't that she'd simply learned better communication.

God had been transforming her heart.

Maybe you've been praying for God to change your marriage.

What if He begins by changing one heart?

What if one willing heart becomes the catalyst for peace throughout an entire family?

At first, Father Joe wasn't interested in coaching.

But after watching God at work in his wife's life, he decided to take that same step of faith.

As he did, God began changing his heart too.

He learned to listen instead of trying to fix.

He discovered new ways to love and understand his wife.

Today, he describes their marriage with words like peace, unity, hope, and deeper intimacy.

Even their children noticed the difference.

And now, together, he and his wife are helping other couples in their church experience that same hope.

That's how God often works.

He changes hearts.

And changed hearts begin changing homes.

PPS - Here is what (another) recent Coaching Graduate had to say:
"Our biggest struggle was for emotional connection, which was specifically being severed during attempts at communication, particularly when trying to resolve conflict or solve problems... I knew I needed tools, strategies, a framework, and different approaches, and I didn't have them...I saw my family slipping away... I am now equipped. I needed tools and a framework, and I got both. A fresh perspective...I can now see that clearly, with the perspective I gained through DYM."

Consider this question:

If your marriage never changed...

Would Jesus still be enough?

That question is at the heart of this week's conversation with Aaron Smith.

For four long years, he and his wife struggled with painful intimacy issues that nearly ended their marriage.

Like many couples, they kept praying for God to change their circumstances.

Instead, God began changing their hearts.

One of the most powerful moments in our conversation comes when Aaron realizes that Jesus didn't wait for His Bride to become perfect before giving Himself for her.

He loved first.
Sacrificially.
Completely.

That's the invitation for every one of us.

Not because it's easy.

But because it's the way of Christ.

To love first.

Let this conversation encourage you to remember:
God cares about your marriage.
He is worthy of your surrender.
And He is still working.

With love,
The Delight Your Marriage Team

PPS - Here is what (another) recent Coaching Graduate had to say:

For years, I felt so dissatisfied, frustrated, and angry toward my wife. I was living in a repeating cycle of expecting sex, not being fulfilled by it because of her lack of desire for me, being angry at her for not trying to connect with me in the relationship, holding it in for as long as possible, then trying to "fix it" by talking to her about it or lashing out at her, then back to the expectations.

My wife, kids, and myself, all felt unsafe and dissatisfied with life and who I was...

This program has helped me so much to learn how to handle not only my emotions, but hers as well. She is truly seeing me as a safe place and I want to protect that at all costs...I have also learned how to speak to my wife's heart and to truly listen to her...I am now living in God's purpose and design and the pieces around me are falling into place.
