Podcasts about husbands

Husbands have two main callings that require intentional effort: marriage and business. Failing in either area causes failure in the other.  __________ Matthew 22:36–38 GW, 1 John 5:3 KJV, Hebrews 12:1 KJV, Matthew 22:39–40 GW, 1 Corinthians 7:33 KJV, 1 Peter 3:7 KJV, Ephesians 5:25 KJV, John 4:34 KJV, Genesis 3:6 KJV, Genesis 2:16–17 KJV, Genesis 2:24 KJV, 1 Timothy 2:14 KJV __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com Leave a Comment: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/comments __________    

LUCRETIA: VIRTUE AND SUICIDE Colleague Emma Southon. The discussion moves to Lucretia, the model of Roman female virtue. During a contest among husbands, Lucretia is found virtuously weaving wool while others party. This leads to her rape by Sextus Tarquinius, who threatens her reputation. To protect her honor, Lucretia confesses to her family and commits suicide, an act Augustus later used to define female virtue and which sparked the end of the monarchy. NUMBER 10

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast – HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVE! We kick things off with gift giving convo (because DUH), including the internet weighing in with their opinions on our neighbor gifts and the ONE toddler toy that has truly earned its spot (because ever notice that toddlers seem to prefer household items over toys???). Next, we get into holiday travel with a 1-year-old (new airplane-only toys, long flights, and managing expectations). We also share how we're spending the next two weeks (RELAXING) before diving into the viral discourse of the week around “borrowing husbands” and the Kroger wife situation (and why helping people in your community should not be controversial). Harrison brings in 1,000 years of relationship advice from the Curiosity Chronicle (do not keep score, never stop dating, and genuinely enjoy each other). Then the fun stuff. We spiral briefly into dental TikTok with a question about blowing on your kid's food, share a great Austin policy about waived parking tickets for responsible rides home, and talk about when kids develop critical thinking and why Santa works so well (your words become their inner voice). We wrap with a holiday classic debate about whether gifts from Santa should be wrapped (apparently every household does this differently??) and finish with a conversation everyone can agree on: New Year's is the most overrated holiday. LOVE YOU GUYS and happy holidays.

This summer we're curating your 456 playlist listening to bring you some of our favourite interviews from MID and No Filter. You might know Poh Ling Yeow as an artist, a chef and a regular fixture on television ever since she was first introduced to Australia on MasterChef. But that’s just the public side of Poh. The version you see is only part of her truth; behind it lies a layered, often painful journey. In this conversation Poh opens up about her years spent in the church before walking away from it, which left her untangling years of belief and identity. She shares the profound grief she has experienced with the loss of her mother, and as well as the heartbreak of two marriage breakdowns and how those moments led to loneliness, questioning and rebuilding. But through it all, she’s discovered something quite extraordinary: an ability to find beauty in the sorrow, light in the mess, and humour in the most unexpected places. This is a conversation about identity, resilience, creativity, and what it means to truly move on and start over. You can watch Poh on this season of MasterChef on Network 10 and you can follow her here: https://www.instagram.com/pohlingyeow/?hl=en Find more MID here.

We'll cover practical steps you can take today to improve communication, reignite intimacy, and lead your family with confidence. This isn't about being perfect; it's about making the decision to stop drifting and start driving.

Today, men are up against: A culture, even in some churches, that tries to emasculate them. The media often portrays fathers as useless idiots. A sex-saturated society, with sirens of lust everywhere. There is often little help equipping them in these areas, including at the church. The battles with the flesh – learning how to “buffet our body and make it our slave” Learning how to fulfill the command for Husbands to love their wives as Christ loves the church. The isolation that is so prevalent in the church. How to be a leader in their home? Mike and Tim Peterson, counselor and leader of the Blazing Grace men’s ministry, discuss how men can find their way – and most importantly, their heart – so they can thrive and make an impact in today’s challenging environment.

She SHOT both ex-husbands DEAD over this!

In this episode I cover the standoff most couples find themselves in where both partners are unhappy but neither will take the first step to improve the relationship. I discuss who should take the first step, why they should take the first step, and what it looks like to take the first step. If you need marriage help, this is an essential episode to move your marriage forward. 

Today’s Topics: 1, 2, 3, 4) Emotional trauma of husbands and wives who witnessed the other undergo phase 4 exorcism, the solemn session. The person who was possessed is now totally liberated and living a holy, pious, and devoted faith life, but the spouse who witnessed the many sessions of exorcism has been negatively affected and there is a barrier between them. It’s almost as if the spouse looks at the other with contempt

Hello EICherries. We imagine you're all quietly quitting your work obligations right now, as we slither towards the end of 2025... but today we're going to be talking about the women who are quietly quitting their husbands.What is quiet quitting a marriage? It's the slow, silent retreat that often happens behind closed doors when one partner, often a woman in midlife, simply checks out. Despite the fact that divorce rates among older adults have climbed over the past few decades, countless couples are staying together, because separation feels too exhausting, too financially risky, or too disruptive to the lives they've built. And in many cases, their husbands don't even realise how far things have drifted until it's too late.Monica Corcoran Harel writes ‘Passivity came up again and again in my reporting: Husbands tune out their disenchanted wives like Charlie Brown deflects the monotonous drone of his schoolteacher. They make flimsy promises to engage more on an emotional level or to help out around the house. Maybe they vacuum for a month or two. Or act all intrigued when a partner vents about an incapable colleague. But eventually, the extra-credit effort falls by the wayside or just doesn't feel like enough. In some cases, the man's need to be lauded for taking on a fraction of the physical load only punctuates how much a woman has to accomplish every single day.'We get into it!Thank you so much for your takes on this topic, we love being in conversation with you all and hope you enjoy the episode, O,R,B xxThe Women Quietly Quitting Their Husbands Hosted on Acast.

A single thread runs through today's conversation: real authority is sacrificial, and real hope is active. We open with gratitude and prayer, then move straight into Ephesians 5 to explore how love and respect are not competing claims but a bonded calling. Husbands are charged to give themselves up, not to grasp for power; wives are called to respect that costly leadership, not to disappear. We share a hard truth from a broken marriage—two people “forgot they needed each other”—and talk candidly about how daily dependence protects a covenant from slow erosion.From there, Revelation 21 lifts our eyes to the New Jerusalem, where God wipes every tear and night never falls. The measured walls, radiant stones, and open gates are more than poetry; they are a blueprint for courage now. We connect that hope to the rhythms of praise and justice in Psalm 149 and the steady, capable work pictured in Proverbs 31. Far from stereotypes, these texts sketch a household that builds value, serves the poor, and strengthens the city gates—an economy of trust that begins at the kitchen table and ripples outward.History puts skin on these ideals. We honor First Lieutenant Alexander “Sandy” Bonnyman Jr., whose leadership at Tarawa—organizing men under fire, advancing when pinned down, and holding ground at the cost of his life—shows what authority looks like under pressure. Then we reflect on President Truman's 1951 Christmas message, a clear-eyed call to pursue a just peace with faith and resolve. Finally, we turn to our moment: the need to prepare our communities, support local first responders, and practice readiness without losing compassion. Faith shapes homes, homes shape citizens, and citizens steward freedom best when they remember who—and what—they are willing to serve.If this resonates, share it with a friend, subscribe for more, and leave a review to help others find the show.

In this message from 1 Peter 3: 7, the apostle Peter continues addressing marriage within his larger call to holy living in a hostile world. In the previous six verses, wives are called to reflect Christ's willing submission through respectful, pure conduct. Then, Peter turns to husbands in 1 Peter 3:7, and the weight of responsibility intensifies. Husbands are not exempt from submission. Instead, their submission takes the form of sacrificial leadership modeled after Christ Himself. Husbands are commanded to live with their wives according to understanding they have gained by studying and honoring them with attentiveness and care. Calling wives the “weaker vessel” does not diminish their worth or spirituality. The Bible is clear that husbands and wives are equal heirs of the grace of life, sharing the same salvation, dignity, and eternal hope. Instead, the term "weaker vessel" acknowledges physical vulnerability and places greater moral responsibility on the one with greater strength. Husbands are called to display a biblical masculinity that is not harsh or ignorant, but is loving, gentle, and protective. The passage closes with a sobering warning: how a husband treats his wife directly affects his relationship with God and his prayers. Spiritual leadership cannot be separated from relational faithfulness. Ultimately, in 1 Peter 3:1–7, the Holy Spirit calls the church to display Christ to the world through submitting wives and sacrificing husbands—where strength serves, love protects, and holiness reflects the gospel itself. _______________________________________ Links to Sermon Notes & Answers: ➤Sermon Notes (Blank): https://www.sheridanhills.org/_files/ugd/30fec2_2c3501226b0e41948b5f4342f0e92d8f.pdf ➤Sermon Notes (Answers): https://www.sheridanhills.org/_files/ugd/30fec2_b355597f615a405da65eaead117c5055.pdf ________________________________________ Subscribe to this channel to catch weekly expositional sermons from the Bible. ________________________________________ Explore more sermons and information: https://www.sheridanhills.org/watch-new ________________________________________ Follow us: ➤Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sheridanhills/ ➤Twitter: https://twitter.com/sheridanhills01 ➤Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sheridanhills/

In Episode 97 of the Operation Thriving Marriage Podcast, Bryon and Jennifer Harvey tackle one of today's loudest cultural narratives: “Marriage is bad for women.” From viral reels to negative blog posts, modern messaging often paints marriage as limiting, misogynistic, or a barrier to women's personal success. But the Harveys push back with both research and biblical wisdom, highlighting findings from the General Social Survey that consistently show married women—especially married women with children—report significantly higher levels of happiness than their single peers. While the data can't claim that marriage causes happiness, it does clearly demonstrate that marriage is not harmful to women and often correlates with meaningful emotional, spiritual, and relational benefits. Bryon and Jen explore why this disconnect exists and how social media outrage, pain-driven content, and misunderstanding of Christian teaching all contribute to a distorted narrative. They explain how biblical marriage offers women deep emotional support, protection against loneliness, shared identity and purpose, accountability for personal growth, and the joy of partnership in both daily life and spiritual mission. But these benefits don't flow automatically—marriage only thrives when both spouses actively invest in it. Husbands are called to love their wives as Christ loves the church (Ephesians 5:25), creating emotional safety and mutuality, while wives partner in love and teamwork. Healthy communication, catching small issues early, and keeping Christ at the center are essential practices that help women flourish in marriage. The episode ends with a challenge for couples to evaluate the benefits they are experiencing in their relationship and to intentionally reconnect if something is missing. Asking simple questions like, “How do I help you feel loved, valued, or seen?” and “What small issues do we need to address together?” can reignite unity and purpose. As the Harveys often remind listeners: if both of you aren't winning, neither of you is winning.

Marriage works best when it follows God's kingdom blueprint rather than personal opinions or examples that don't align with His instructions. Scripture shows that God sometimes allowed imperfect practices due to human ignorance or hardened hearts, but His true design for marriage is now clearly revealed. In God's kingdom, marriage is a lifelong, permanent union between one man and one woman, built on divine order and responsibility. Husbands are submitted to Christ and lead through sacrificial love and service, while wives are called to submit to and respect their husbands. Both spouses are responsible for intentionally serving one another's needs and desires, creating mutual care and unity. Sexual intimacy is meant to be frequent, mutually enjoyable, and protected within marriage. When couples follow these principles faithfully and unconditionally, God's design produces peace, clarity, and a healthy, thriving marriage.

Got some sh!t to say?In this episode, Marko and Steve dive headfirst into the messy, loud-whispered, and oh-so-queer conversation around “body count.” Does your sexual history shape how desirable you are as a partner, or is it just another outdated trope we drag into modern dating?The guys break down why body count still comes up in queer conversations, unpack where the idea of being “pure” even comes from, and ask the big question: does being the so-called “pass-around party bottom” actually disqualify anyone from love, commitment, or marriage?

The discipline and structure of the Marine Corps drilled into me a commitment to every cause I took on. Years of pain, frustration, and setbacks gave me a relentless determination to get back up and keep going. My successes fueled my drive, and even my failures gave me fire to keep pushing forward.  What I've learned is simple but powerful: I can't expect my future to be handed to me by someone else. It's my responsibility. There are ten little two-letter words I've carried with me for years, words that keep me motivated whenever I feel the temptation to give in: IF IT IS TO BE, IT IS UP TO ME. And remember this one truth that has carried me through everything I've faced:  It's Always Too Soon to Quit!"  Listen now. His website:  https://neverquittrying.com/We are forming a NEW GROUP!  Join the current group to stay up to date on the move and to get your personal invitation to join!Contact US:  Rumble/ YouTube/ IG: @powerofmanpodcastEmail: powerofmanpodcast@gmail.com.Twitter: @rorypaquetteLooking for Like-Minded Fathers and Husbands?

Disclaimer: We are not professionals. This podcast is opinioned based and from life experience. This is for entertainment purposes only. Opinions helped by our guests may not reflect our own. But we love a good conversation.In this raw 2 Be Better Podcast episode, Chris and Peaches read two powerful emails that hit everything from religious trauma and teen pregnancy to addiction, stillbirth, and slowly rebuilding a marriage after rock bottom. You will hear them unpack a deeply controlling church upbringing, running away at 17, getting pregnant, losing a baby, marrying young, and trying to heal while a husband battles drugs, grief, and a broken family system. They walk through mentorship for men, women stepping into real support instead of enabling, and what it actually looks like to build a functional marriage and family after chaos, including moving states, starting over, finding a healthier community, and creating a home where the kids are protected from generational patterns. From there they shift into a homestead marriage case study, breaking down a stay at home mom on 2.5 acres, a blue collar husband who works out of town, and the recurring fights that never seem to get resolved. They go deep on “you don't listen” versus “I don't understand,” love languages, why a wife can feel unseen even with great sex, how compliments and validation work for women, and how blue collar joking and passive aggressive digs about weight can quietly destroy intimacy. You will get practical, no nonsense communication advice, how to ask for what you need without disrespecting his leadership, how to stop bottling resentment, and how to align on parenting, money, work ethic, Roth IRAs, and long term plans for your kids so your marriage and homestead actually thrive. If you are a homestead wife, a blue collar husband, or a couple searching for real marriage advice, relationship coaching, and traditional values without the fluff, this episode will speak directly to you. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/2-be-better--5828421/support.

This week at Venture, Pastor Morgan concluded our Journey Through Ephesians series with a powerful and deeply practical message from Ephesians 5–6 on what it means to build a Spirit-filled home. Paul teaches that the truest test of our spiritual maturity isn't found on Sundays, in small groups, or in public — it's found in our homes. Pastor Morgan unpacks how the Gospel should transform our marriages, our parenting, and even our work relationships. A Spirit-filled home is built on:• Mutual submission• Christlike love• Godly order• Every relationship submitted to Jesus From marriage roles to parenting with gentleness, to representing Christ in the workplace, this message challenges us to invite the Holy Spirit into the center of our homes and everyday relationships. If your home feels chaotic, heavy, or dry — there is hope. The same Spirit who fills us in worship can fill our homes with peace, unity, and transformation. ⏱️ Timestamps 00:00 – Welcome to Venture Church Online00:06 – “Tell us where you're watching from!”00:14 – Christmas vibes + Yule log jokes00:34 – Pastor Morgan begins + series conclusion01:12 – Recap: Armor of God (previous series)01:35 – Christmas season officially begins01:54 – Thanksgiving leftovers mourning02:14 – Hosting 12 people + refreshing the home02:46 – What a “reset” does for a house03:06 – Physical home vs. spiritual home atmosphere03:54 – Losing your holiness at home04:12 – Making Jesus famous at work vs. at home04:39 – Chaos, Legos, Costco flannels & sanctification05:17 – The home as the true test of spiritual maturity06:12 – Review of Ephesians: spiritual blessings, identity07:05 – From mountaintop truths to family relationships07:24 – If the Gospel doesn't change your home…07:48 – Instructions for Spirit-filled households08:03 – Reading Ephesians 5:21–3309:25 – Main point: A Spirit-filled home is built on mutual submission10:08 – Context: Greco-Roman household codes11:08 – How Christianity revolutionized the home11:32 – Centering all relationships on Jesus11:56 – Giving dignity and value to every family member12:23 – Calling those with power to sacrifice the most12:48 – “Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ”13:03 – Definition: Voluntarily placing others above yourself13:32 – A Spirit-filled posture says: “Christ is Lord of this home”14:24 – Submission isn't weakness — Jesus modeled it15:20 – The Spirit submits to the Son — equality within submission15:46 – Submission = Christlikeness16:12 – Marriage roles begin with mutual submission16:46 – Wives: honor your husbands (own husbands!)17:11 – Misuse of this text addressed18:18 – Submission is not inferiority, silence, or passivity18:56 – Proverbs 31: strong, wise, capable women19:26 – Honor creates atmosphere for husbands to thrive19:50 – Husbands: love like Christ loved the Church20:13 – Wives submit, husbands sacrifice20:41 – Your wife doesn't need a king — she has one21:20 – Husbands set the tone of the home21:49 – Pilot illustration — calm leadership22:40 – Your marriage preaches a sermon daily23:06 – Spirit-filled parenting begins23:40 – Children: obey and honor your parents24:06 – The promise that comes with obedience24:24 – Teaching youth the value of honor25:09 – Parents: do not provoke your children25:39 – Don't crush your kids with criticism26:13 – “Bring them up” — nurture, don't intimidate26:37 – Parents + pastors = partnership (NextGen vision)27:37 – Children are like wet cement — everything leaves a mark28:08 – Spirit-filled work relationships28:18 – Working as unto the Lord29:04 – Christians should be the most reliable workers29:48 – Your work is worship30:13 – Leaders: use influence to bless, not manipulate30:35 – Business owners leading with Christlike character31:01 – Spirit-filled relationships submit to Christ31:17 – Taking inventory of our own homes31:44 – Is Christ the center of your home?32:01 – What atmosphere greets people in your house?32:50 – The Spirit can transform your home33:13 – Harshness, sarcasm, avoidance — and hope33:42 – Husbands, wives, children, parents, leaders — all worship34:36 – The Spirit who fills you at church can fill your home35:02 – God can heal marriages and restore families35:29 – Response moment: invitation to be Spirit-filled36:14 – Prayer for homes and families36:50 – Corporate closing prayer37:49 – Venture sign-up reminders + Winter Camp38:26 – Subscribe + learn more about Venture Church

What Turns Her Off — and What Godly Husbands Do Instead Have you ever wished you could just…get inside your wife's heart for a moment? Not to manipulate, but to genuinely understand her. To love her in a way that makes her feel safe and wanted—not pressured or confused. My husband Darrow and I sat down to talk through something men rarely get honest insight about: Her biggest turn-offs. And not because we want to shame or scold—but because clarity brings freedom. When you finally understand what shuts her down, you also discover what opens her heart. So take a deep breath.You're not in trouble.You're learning—and that already makes you a good man. Let's walk through these turn-offs together, with God's kindness leading us all the way. 1. When Affection Feels Like a Transaction One of the most common complaints I hear from wives is this: "Every time he does something sweet, it feels like he's trying to get sex." A back rub, a coffee, a hand on her waist, a date night—beautiful gestures—become tainted when she senses they come with an expectation. When affection is only a bridge to the bedroom, she feels: Used Not loved for who she is Like her worth is tied to her sexual availability God never intended marital intimacy to be a negotiation.Love her without a scoreboard. Bless her without an agenda. 2. Grabbing, Pinching, or Smacking Her Body When She's Not Comfortable Yes…wives talk about this. And I know many husbands mean it playfully.But if she doesn't feel safe—emotionally, spiritually, or physically—this kind of touch feels like entitlement, not affection. Her body is not something to be "snatched."She needs room to open, not pressure to surrender. When she feels cherished—not grabbed—she wants to share her body freely. 3. Taking "Not Now" Personally If she says she's tired, overwhelmed, stressed, or simply "not right now," it's almost never about you. But when a husband interprets it as: Rejection Lack of desire "She doesn't love me" …it puts enormous emotional weight on her shoulders. Instead, respond with: "No worries, sweetheart. Another time would be wonderful." That confidence and peace will draw her toward you—not away. 4. Moping After She Says No Emotional sulking is not harmless. Moping communicates: "You disappointed me." "Now I have to punish you with sadness." "You're responsible for my emotions."   This shuts her heart down.Fast. Your steadiness and joy—even when she's not available—makes her feel safe. And safety is the soil where desire grows. 5. Punishing Her for Not Wanting Sex This is one of the deepest wounds wives carry. Punishments include: Silent treatment Withholding affection Moving to another room Being cold or distant Only being "nice" when you want intimacy These behaviors feel manipulative and honestly frightening. Your wife is not the enemy. She is the assignment God entrusted to you. Lead with love, not consequences. 6. Lack of Playfulness Playfulness is essential to intimacy. If everything feels heavy, serious, structured, pressured…then her nervous system never relaxes enough to enjoy being sensual. Silliness is holy ground for a woman's heart. Laughter lowers her guard.Playfulness creates connection. If you want her to be playful in the bedroom, she needs to experience playfulness outside the bedroom. 7. Not Feeling Emotionally Safe Women cannot separate emotional connection from physical intimacy. I'll say that one more time. Women cannot separate emotional connection from physical intimacy. When she feels emotionally unsafe, her body shuts down. Emotional Safety looks like: Listening Compassion Being slow to speak and quick to understand Responding gently Supporting her heart, not "fixing" immediately  When she feels heard, she opens. 8. Being a "Negative Nellie" (or Negative Ned!) Constant complaining is exhausting and not attractive. It pulls the atmosphere of the home downward and makes her feel like she has to carry your emotional weight. There is space to process hard things—but constant negativity drains the joy God wants in your marriage. Rejoice. Notice blessings. Bring hope into the home. 9. Bitterness and Resentment Long-term resentment is a marriage-killer. Bitterness communicates: "I haven't forgiven you." "You owe me." "I'm still keeping score." This is the opposite of Christlike love. Your wife cannot relax into intimacy with a man who holds her mistakes over her head. Forgiveness clears the ground for closeness to grow again. And if you need a little extra inspiration, let us turn you to Matthew 6:15 (NIV): "But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins." 10. Being Too Serious All the Time Intensity has a place—but not every moment. When a man is always stern, rigid, perfectionistic, spiritual-but-heavy…it makes her feel like she can never fully exhale. If she can't be herself around you, she won't be vulnerable with you. Joy is a fruit of the Spirit—not an optional extra. 11. Using Slang or Sexual Words She Doesn't Like Words matter. Some husbands use slang affectionately or playfully.Some wives love it.Others absolutely don't. If slang or sexual language makes her uncomfortable, embarrassed, or unsafe, it becomes a turn-off—not a turn-on. Honor her preferences. You're not losing freedom—you're gaining connection. Final Thoughts: So What Do You Do with All This? If reading this stirs conviction…good. Conviction is not condemnation.The enemy heaps shame.God invites repentance—and repentance leads to freedom. Your wife is God's daughter. And He entrusted her to you. Every shift you make toward loving her well brings you closer to His heart and closer to hers. We're rooting for you!   Blessing, The Delight Your Marriage Team   PS - If you want help walking this out in real life—not just head knowledge—that's exactly why our coaching and in-person training programs exist.

I also told her about our [IPT] program that same day. Up until then, I had said I was attending a men's bible study. All praise be to God."

In this raw and urgent episode, Ryan and Selena respond directly to a viral clip from Dr. Emerson Eggerichs (Love & Respect) where he calls out wives who “continually mock their husbands,” put them down mentally, and secretly make fun of their opinions.If you've ever caught yourself thinking, “He's just not the man I thought I married” … this episode is for you.We dive deep into:The devastating long-term fruit of a disrespectful speech and a critical spirit (Prov 21:19, Prov 27:15)Why even “small” condescending comments, eye-rolls, and corrections are spiritual poisonGenesis 1–2 and Ephesians 5:22–33 – God's original design for husbands to WORK and wives to RESPECTThe moment a wife stops seeing her husband “in his element,” her view of him becomes dangerously incompleteThe 4 C's every wife must confront: What are you Consuming? Who are you Consulting? Who are you Complaining to? It's time to CUT it out.The 200-year plan: How today's sarcasm and discontent become tomorrow's bitterness, affairs, or divorcePractical steps to break the cycle: Repent to God → Repent to your husband → Replace criticism with gratitude → Renew your mind daily (Romans 12:2)Husbands: this isn't permission to be passive. A wife's biblical respect flows most naturally when her husband loves her as Christ loves the church. We talk about that too.Whether you're the wife struggling with disrespect or the husband feeling crushed under constant criticism—this episode will challenge and encourage you toward the fierce, gospel-centered marriage you both long for.Scriptures covered: Genesis 1–2, Ephesians 5:22–33, Proverbs 21:19, Proverbs 27:15–16, Romans 12:1–2Resources mentioned: → Join the Fierce Men brotherhood (YouTube + private community)→ Fierce Fellows on Patreon – exclusive marriage content→ Partner with Fierce Marriage: https://fiercemarriage.com/partnerIf this episode hit home, text it to a friend who needs it.

What do you get when a man hears a podcast, has an epiphany in his garage, and decides to educate millions of guys on TikTok about menopause? You get Jesse Robertson (the creator behind Husbands for Menopause) and one of our favorite conversations ever.This week on Laugh Lines, Penn and I sit down with Jesse to talk about how he started spiraling (in a good way!) into understanding menopause, better supporting his wife, and educating millions of men. Our conversation digs into why men absolutely need to be part of the menopause conversation, how to have more empathy for your spouse, and effective ways to communicate. We even brainstorm the very first Menopause Men's Choir (which is exactly as chaotic and delightful as it sounds) and laugh our way through “banana wrapper” moments that happen when your perimenopause brain cannot find the words.Enjoy the conversation, share this episode to your husband! Jesse believes with better understanding men can be more supportive—and after this episode, you'll believe it too.
