Putting God First Will Change Your Marriage If you're anything like me, you've found yourself caught in the swirl of responsibilities, relationships, expectations... and distractions. It's so easy to let the noise of life drown out the voice of God. Even in marriage—especially in marriage—it's easy to start placing our hope in the wrong thing. And when we do that, even the good things, like marriage, can become shaky ground. But what if the real anchor isn't your spouse, or your role, or your routine—but your relationship with God? Why Putting God First Can Transform Your Marriage We live in a world of constant input. Notifications, streaming, social media, endless to-dos. And if we're not intentional, those distractions steal our attention—and with it, our peace, our purpose, and our priorities. I've found that when I step away from it all—when I intentionally remove the distractions—I can finally hear God clearly again. Whether it's walking in nature without my phone or sitting in a quiet space with my journal, those moments of silence are sacred. They realign me. Because when God is clear, everything else becomes clear, too. “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” —Matthew 6:33 How Husbands Can Become Spiritual Leaders in the Home Husbands, you are called to lead your home—not because you have all the answers, but because God entrusted you with that role. Leadership doesn't mean control. It means surrender. It means taking responsibility, laying down pride, and anchoring your identity in Christ—not in your wife's response. If your stability is based on her reactions, your leadership will always be shaky. But when your eyes are on Jesus, you can lead with strength, consistency, and peace—even if the journey is slow. “The wise man built his house on the rock… and it did not fall.” —Matthew 7:24-25 (paraphrased) What Biblical Respect Looks Like for Christian Wives Wives, I get it. Maybe you feel like you've had to take the reins because your husband hasn't. Maybe you feel stronger spiritually. Maybe you're just more organized. But leadership is about role—not ability. And when we as wives step out of our God-given role, we accidentally make it harder for our husbands to rise into theirs. Respect doesn't mean silence or enabling. It means honoring the role God has given him, even when it's hard. And when you do? It makes your husband feel safe, trusted, and invited to lead. Should I Still Respect My Husband If I Don't Trust Him? If your husband has let you down—or worse, betrayed your trust—you might wonder: “How do I respect a man who hasn't earned it?” That's real. But our motivation as believers isn't based on someone else's worthiness. It's based on God's worthiness. You can walk in wisdom, set boundaries, and still respect the role. Because when you show honor, you're honoring God first. (Need more on this? Search our site for our podcast: “Respect an Untrustworthy Man”) Why Most Marriages Struggle Without Spiritual Rhythms If you've been running on empty, it may be time to return to spiritual rhythms. Daily time with God. Weekly check-ins with your heart. Monthly reflection. These aren't just good habits—they're lifelines. They give you clarity, patience, and power to live out your role with joy. Even if your personality makes this hard (mine does too!), it's worth fighting for. Your family's health depends on your spiritual nourishment. What “Helper” Really Means (And It's Not What You Think) In Genesis 2, God calls Eve a “helper”—and the original Hebrew word ezer is used most often to describe God Himself as our rescuer, protector, and strength. Wives, this means your role is powerful, not passive. You have the God-given ability to uplift, empower, and even save your husband in ways no one else can. Not through control, but through encouragement, respect, and faith-filled love. When Leadership in Marriage Gets Out of Order The fall of man in Genesis didn't start with an affair or abuse. It started with misplaced leadership. Adam was present. He knew the truth. But instead of leading, he followed. Instead of obeying God, he obeyed his wife. Men, this is your reminder: you are responsible. And women, if you want your husband to lead, you have to let go of the wheel. Restoring biblical order doesn't mean a power struggle—it means peace, protection, and purpose. What to Do When You Feel Hopeless in Your Marriage You might be reading this with tears in your eyes. Maybe your marriage is hanging by a thread. Maybe you've tried everything, and nothing has worked. Maybe you're ready to give up. Don't. God sees you. He hasn't forgotten you. And no matter how far things have gone, there is still hope. Even if your spouse doesn't change right away. Even if it's just you taking the first step. Seek God first. Love your spouse like Jesus. And trust that God will do the rest. Where there is breath in the lungs, there is hope.   With love,   The Delight Your Marriage Team   PS – Ready to take the next step and learn more about our Coaching Programs?

PPPS - Here's a quote from a recent graduate: "When I started DYM, I was desperate to save my marriage. When Dana told me that I could do more than just save my marriage, but could actually enjoy it, I literally laughed at her. I had given up hope of having a happy marriage. All I wanted was to avoid divorce at all costs. Here we are a year later, expecting our third sweet baby… I did in fact, by Gods grace, do more than save my marriage!! I actually genuinely LIKE my husband!! We are happy and healing and couldn't be more grateful. God bless DYM. Thank you for having hope for my marital happiness, even when I did not."

Send us a textWhat happens when the unthinkable creeps into your relationship? The answers might surprise you. After counseling countless couples through the aftermath of infidelity, we've discovered that affairs rarely "just happen" – they're the result of small compromises that accumulate over time.Drawing from both personal and professional experience, we reveal how good people can make devastating choices when they fail to establish proper boundaries. Our own marriage has weathered significant storms over 25 years, and we've learned that preventing infidelity requires intentional guardrails long before temptation strikes.The episode explores common pathways that lead to affairs: emotional disconnection, unmet needs, loneliness within marriage, personal brokenness, revenge, crisis situations, and simple selfishness. We break down the progression from innocent interaction to full-blown affair, revealing how adultery always begins in the heart.Most importantly, we share ten practical strategies for affair-proofing your relationship, including guarding your heart and mind, daily investment in emotional intimacy, maintaining a vibrant sexual connection, setting firm boundaries with the opposite sex, practicing complete transparency, surrounding yourself with pro-marriage friends, dealing quickly with conflict, and making God the center of your relationship.Whether you're newlyweds or celebrating decades together, these principles provide concrete protection against one of marriage's greatest threats. The stakes couldn't be higher – as we explain, the consequences of infidelity go far beyond momentary pleasure, potentially destroying your family, reputation, and decades of shared history.GET THE BETTER MARRIAGE BOOTCAMP HERE:Better Marriage Bootcamp (kenandtabatha.com)Better Marriage 90-Day Devotional:90 Day Better Marriage Devotional - Ken and Tabatha (square.site)DOWNLOAD THE FAMILY MEETING OUTLINE HERE ⬇️https://www.kenandtabatha.com/pl/2148103888Support Our Ministry: https://myalivechurch.org/giveConnect with us:- Website:https://www.kenclaytor.comhttps://www.tabathaclaytor.comhttps://www.myalivechurch.org- Socials:Instagram -https://www.instagram.com/kenclaytor/https://www.instagram.com/tabathaclaytor/https://www.instagram.com/myalivechurch/TikTok-@Ken_Claytor@Tabathaclaytor@myalivechurchFacebook-https://www.facebook.com/PastorKenClaytorhttps://www.facebook.com/pastortabathaclaytorhttps://www.facebook.com/myalivechurch- Ask us questions: info@kenandtabatha.com

"The path to getting to where I am today wasn't easy nor without struggle. 4 years ago, I embarked on my healing journey. I wasn't happy in my life and I couldn't shake the uneasy feeling that there was something more out there that I wasn't pursuing. I followed all the rules; I did what I was told. But I felt lost. I felt alone. I had no confidence, numbed out with substances, and was afraid of EVERYTHING. I knew something had to change so I signed up for a 200 hour yoga teacher training program. During my training, things shifted for me. I became in touch with my body and appreciated it more than I ever had before. And for the first time, I felt a connection to the divine, my soul. I felt a sense of peace and relief from the monotonous pain of life. I wish I could say things were linear after that but years of deep-seeded beliefs about myself were hard to break. It was only in the last 3 years that things really shifted for me. I made taking care of myself my #1 priority. And thus began the period of massive transformation. I tended to my wounds and needs. I let go of unhealthy relationships and patterns. I integrated all of the knowledge, teachings, and trainings I had done along the way. Which leads me to now. 2024. Where my passion to help others transform, heal and blossom the way I did, became my dream career. I've never felt more aligned, like I'm EXACTLY where I need to be." - Shannon Tomascak   Don't forget about this amazing free offer from Jordan.

Do you ever feel like your husband is like another child? He disappears into the bathroom for 45 minutes right as dinner starts. Heads off golfing without thinking who's watching the kids. Leaves dirty socks for you to pick up like you're his personal maid. You're constantly picking up after him, reminding him of basic responsibilities, and wondering how someone who functions perfectly fine at work can suddenly become helpless at home. The frustration is real. The exhaustion is real. That nagging feeling that you're more like his mother than his wife? Also real. But what if I told you there's something happening in this dynamic that no one talks about? Something that might completely change how you see this entire situation? In this episode, I'm diving into the psychology behind why so many capable women feel like they're raising their husbands instead of partnering with them. And trust me—the real story behind this epidemic is not what you think. If you've ever felt like you're the only adult in your marriage, this one's for you. But prepare yourself: what you discover might surprise you more than you expect.

In this powerful episode, Charlyne and Lori sit down with Tessa, a woman standing boldly for the restoration of her marriage. Tessa shares how God has met her in the middle of heartbreak and uncertainty, giving her strength to forgive, peace in the waiting, and a renewed relationship with Jesus.   Her story is one of daily surrender. Tessa explains how she trusts God's will—even if restoration takes time, and even if she must stand in faith longer than expected. You will have a smile on your face through this episode as you hear the joy Tessa has in her relationship with Jesus.   If you're in the middle of your own stand and wondering if God is working behind the scenes, Tessa's testimony will remind you that your story isn't over. God is faithful—even in the waiting.   Praying Scripture for Marriage Journal   Follow on Instagram - @rejoicemarriageministries   Follow on Facebook - @rejoicemarriageministries   Every day, you can receive encouragement straight to your inbox through our Fight for Your Marriage Devotional and find free resources and prayers to pray over your marriage.

The email said, “I talked my spouse into going to therapy.” Another one asked, “How do I drag my spouse to therapy?” Oof. The first person was proud of the “convincing.” The second person got my response: You Don't! (Unless, of course, you want to damn the process from the very beginning… and in that case, drag away!) Marriage therapy tends to be the default response to a marriage crisis (although the stats would not support this as the preferred action). If there is a problem, time to head to therapy! First task: get a spouse there. By pressure, if necessary. I think there is a (false) belief that if you can just get them there, the therapist will work some magic and convince the spouse to work on the marriage. The therapist won't/can't. And your spouse won't. Fail/fail. But why? There are some Therapy Traps that you fall into when you try to drag a spouse into therapy (I cover the Traps in the podcast episode below). And in the process, you actually cause further entrenchment on the part of your spouse that things won't work out. Yep, it makes things worse. I explain why in this episode of the Save The Marriage Podcast.  Listen below. RELATED RESOURCES Therapy Problems Can You Save It Alone? Can Your Marriage Even Be Saved?

Have you ever sat in a women's Bible study, nodding politely while someone says “your husband is your spiritual covering,” and inside you're thinking, I think I'm dying a little bit every time I say “yes, dear”?In this episode, I get real about complementarianism, the nice-sounding theology that quietly hijacked our self-worth, autonomy, and sanity. I share how I was the poster child for it once (hello, Created to Be His Help Meet), and how that life script nearly destroyed my soul.I'm unpacking the research, the psychology, the theology, and yes, the “are you kidding me right now?” stories from real women who've lived this. It's systemic. And it's deeply damaging.What You'll Learn: How complementarianism teaches learned helplessness (like, literal textbook psychology)That a shocking number of women from these teachings suffer from anxiety, decision fatigue, and depression but think it's a faith issue, not a mental health oneWhy your pastor's advice to “submit harder” is about as helpful as telling someone with a broken leg to “walk it off with a godly attitude”That yes, the research confirms it: biblical womanhood theology messes with your brainHow to tell the difference between “conviction” and religious traumaRead the full show notes and/or ask Natalie a question hereRelated Resources:Head to our website to find ALL the resources I packed into today's episode.Check out some related Flying Free resources, including an article I wrote called “How Complementarianism Causes Abuse in Churches and Homes” and an episode called “Do Gender Roles Contribute to Emotional Abuse in the Home and Church?”
