Your Marriage Problems - SOLVED! Here's How:
There are few things more frustrating than running into the same marriage issues over and over again.

Potty-training comes to mind as one of those few things, but that's a different topic entirely. 🤣

Whether it’s poor (or nonexistent) communication, resentment, unmet expectations, lack of leadership, or drifting intimacy, the root problems in marriage often feel complex—but many of them actually trace back to our mindset and our heart posture.

That’s where renewing your mind through the Word becomes powerful. 

Scripture doesn’t just teach behavior modification—it transforms you from the inside out. 

When you turn to the Bible for wisdom instead of turning only to other people for advice, you will start seeing deeper solutions to the struggles you face in your marriage.

Let’s look at a few examples:

  • Communication struggles? James 1:19 reminds us to be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry.
  • Bitterness or unforgiveness? Ephesians 4:31–32 calls us to put away all bitterness and instead be kind and forgiving.
  • Missing intimacy or drifting connection? 1 Corinthians 13:4–7 paints a picture of love that is patient, selfless, and not easily offended. (That one is TOUGH.)
  • Lack of leadership? 1 Peter 3 instructs wives to submit to their husbands - even those who disobey the Word - out of reverence and obedience to God, not because their husbands are perfect leaders (this godly submission on your part is one way to influence your husband to grow in leadership, and grow towards Christ).
  • Feeling purposeless? Titus 2 describes the role of older women teaching the younger - so whether you're in the "older" category, your role is to teach the younger the things listed in that passage, and if you're in the "younger" category, your role is to spend time learning those things and implementing them well within your home and family.
God’s Word is practical, powerful, and personal. 

When you take time to meditate on His truth and apply it—even to small situations in your marriage—you'll notice yourself responding differently intuitively. 

You'll become more aware of your tone. You'll notice when you're assuming something without actual facts behind it. You'll slow down and seek understanding and wisdom. 

And as you change, it will create space for healing and growth in your marriage. 

Not only will you notice yourself changing, more than likely your husband will notice too - and God can use that to draw your husband to Himself.

This week:

Choose one challenge you’ve been facing and look up 2–3 verses that speak into that issue. 

Write them down and pray over them daily. 

The Word won’t return void (Isaiah 55:11)—it will accomplish exactly what God intends.

This is my story!

 
As a Christian, it can be embarrassing to admit I've been married three times. 

As a woman who feels called to teach about marriage and submission, it can be almost unthinkable that God would put this on my heart after two failed marriages.

But God often uses the broken to accomplish His purposes - and He does not clothe us in shame, but in righteousness.

I have lived the life of the controlling wife. I have lived the life of the controlled wife

Neither brings the blessings God has for marriage.

Through my mistakes and failures, I've learned what submission is, and what it is not.

I am learning and growing every day in my role as a biblically submissive wife, a bonus mom, and a homemaker who cares for her home and family in joyful wellness!

Join me on my journey as I share some of my lessons, tips, and ideas to equip you to live in joyful submission and wellness!
