In this episode we'll dive into the life of Sarah, a pivotal figure in the Bible who God refers to as the mother of nations. She is known for her faith and submissiveness, but also portrays a bit of, jealousy, impatience and even harshness, when she doesn't get her way.

Through it all, we learn to trust in God's promises, even when we can't see the outcome, what it looks like to build a Christ-centered marriage, and the true beauty found in a gentle and quiet spirit.

Let's get started.

Many of us enter into marriage having an idea of what we think it will be like. However, we soon realize that we are in uncharted waters and are in need of some guidance, if we want to achieve the marriage we have always dreamed of.

As Christian women, we know that we want to be a godly wife, that this is what is best for us and our marriage. We're just not sure what our role is in this and how to go about getting it.

I was much the same way when I got married. Knowing what I wanted the end result to be, but had no clue as to how to get there. Thankfully, I knew who had the answers. This was the start of my journey in becoming the wife I am today.

In this episode, I am sharing with you how to start your journey and what it is going to take to become the Godly wife that you want to be and to have the God designed marriage you've dreamed of.

Let’s get started.

I'm sharing some practical advice and solutions to these challenges, including seven simple changes you can implement today.

Our tongue is one of the smaller parts of our body and yet, it can have a profound impact on our relationships, especially within marriage. It can either be our biggest problem or our greatest attribute. The choice is ours.

Many of us are aware of this because we have seen first hand the effects our tongue has had on those we love. How our words can just as easily lift someone up, as they can tear someone down.

Taming our tongue tends to be much harder than we would like it to be. Where does this demeaning or hateful speech come from and how do we change it?

Thankfully, God gives us His wisdom and insight in this. Join me as we look to scripture for how to control our tongue with our husbands, for a loving happy marriage.

Let’s get started.

Last week we looked at 19 character traits that we are striving to posses as a godly wife. In God’s design for marriage, we use those character traits as we carry out God‘s purpose for our lives.

Which begs the question, what is God‘s purpose for me as a wife? What has He called me to and what should my priorities be in living the Christian life as a married woman?

Join me as we uncover how God has created women with a unique purpose and how to live it out in a way that glorifies Him. We will also discuss the importance of being a helpmate to your husband, embracing the role of parenthood where applicable, and making peace with God's specific plan for your life.

Lastly, we will see how your spiritual gifts serve as a blueprint for fulfilling your God given purpose.

Let’s get started.
