11 // Trusting God with Your Marriage When it’s Hard and Navigating Expectations of Your Husband

Hey hey!

Today we’re talking about hard seasons in marriage and what it looks like to surrender not only your husband, but yourself to the Lords. We hit on the importance of humility and learning to be humble and Christ-like, loving your husband the way God does.

We discuss rightly dealing with hurt, bitterness, resentment, unforgiveness and anger in your marriage so that broken marriages can be restored for God’s glory and so your children have a good example of what a healthy marriage looks like. 

In this important episode we discuss:

 

• 3 elements of trusting God in the midst of what could be a hard season in marriage.
• Christian marriage and honoring marriage the way God desires.
• Loving a difficult spouse (or you yourself being difficult) or being married to an unbeliever. 
• Hard things like emotional abuse, knowing what a healthy marriage looks like.
• Knowing what you're responsible for and what you’re not.
• Surrendering unrealistic expectations and setting right expectations for your spouse.
• Significance, security, acceptance, and peace and insecurities we all bring into marriage.
• Reliving the models of marriage you witnessed growing up whether you want to or not. 

Grab your Bible and a journal and let's dig in! 

Coram Deo,
Misty
