The Grace Fueled Wife | Communication, Intimacy, Restoration, Marriage
Are you sitting in a marriage that feels empty? Struggling to connect with your husband? Maybe you’re telling yourself you’re just sticking it out for the kids, and what really keeps you in the marriage is God.
If this is you, I’ve been there. My story is your story. I want to help you reconnect in marriage and feel cherished again.
Hey, I’m Beatriz, a Jesus loving wife and mom I’ve been married for 15 years, but for the past 10, I’ve actually had the affectionate and connected marriage I’ve always dreamed of!
What happened the first five years? Well, I was busy telling my husband all the things he was doing wrong, like how he needed Jesus and he needed to do to make me happy.
We tried marriage counseling, small groups, and all the things we were told would make our marriage better. Nothing worked and we separated.
How did I turn it around?
That’s what you’ll learn in this podcast - proven to communicate better, create more intimacy, and feel reconnected in your marriage again.
So if you’re ready to finally communicate effectively with your husband, so you can stop fighting and be on the same team again, this podcast is for you. Now grab that journal and let’s jump right in.

Looking to feel more empowered in your marriage?
In this episode, I chat with New York Times best-selling author Laura Doyle who gives us her formula for expressing your desires in a way that inspires.
She gives us her wisdom as to why women are so influential in the home and discusses some of her controversial topics like why she doesn't believe in marriage counseling, and addresses her critics.
This is one of my favorite episodes yet!

Unfortunately, many communication breakdowns happen as a result of a reaction vs. a response. There is a big difference between the two.
A reaction tends to be impulsive, unconscious, emotionally driven, and automatic, while a response is intentional, thoughtful, considered, controlled, and purposeful.
It's important to know that while there are many reasons WHY we react - those reactions don't always have to be negative.
In this episode, you'll learn my 3 step framework for reacting with grace.

If you're anything like me you have probably made one (or more) of these 4 mistakes when trying to save your marriage. The key is now that you're aware of it, what will you do to fix those mistakes in the future?
1 - Trying to do it alone (without any help or guidance)
2 - Focus only on your husband's mistakes and faults
3 - Live in fear (rather than in your faith)
4- Give up their power!
Need help with that? I got you!!

Are you TIRED of having to carry the workload of keeping up with the daily chores of your home and trying to simultaneously balance ALL the other things? Yep, I’ve been there! I’m here to help with a few quick tips that are guaranteed to lighten your load and empower your partner to support youWhen thinking about how to go from doing it all on your own to sharing the load with your partner, it starts with communication. It can be as simple as you telling your husband directly how you feel and what you need from him.
Inside The Grace Fueled Marriage Method Course, we call this an “I” statement. “I feel ______(insert emotion) when______.”“I feel overwhelmed when I see the dishes in the sick. Can you help me?” Let’s ditch the passive-aggressive tendencies and strive to be direct in our communication. Let him know how this feeling impacts how you are able to show up for him. “I would like to ___ (the thing he wants) without ____ (bad behavior you are doing) so that we can ____.”“I would like to have company over without yelling at you when I’m frustrated so that we can enjoy having time with our friends.”
Remember, if he actually helps, respond in gratitude and let go of perfection. It doesn’t have to be your way, it just needs to be done. RESOURCES:EP74: How to get what you want without nagging.

If you’ve felt stuck in your marriage because you're so unhappy that you've thought about leaving your husband but know that God hates divorce, this episode is for you!
This is one of my most frequently asked questions. As Christian women, we're committed to our marriages but sometimes, the conviction we feel as a Christian wife leads us to feel stuck or trapped.
In this episode, we review some questions to ask yourself to help bring some clarity. 1- Have you given him a safe place to share?
2- Have you taken the time to heal your OWN trauma?3- Have you taken time to work on your marital friendship?4- Have you set strong boundaries and communicated them clearly?
We can not expect to receive what we are not willing to give. In what areas have we fallen short? If you’re staying together for the kids, the appearances, the ease, it’s time to take inventory, my friend. Ask yourself these questions and sit with God for the answers.
Let Him tell you if you're blameless. It's our job to go where God leads and surrender the outcome to him. Whatever the answer is will truly be the best thing for you!

Have you found yourself operating out of a place of fear within your marriage? Maybe you have a fear of finding something inappropriate on your spouse’s phone or computer. This is extremely common in marriages, but that doesn’t mean it’s healthy!
Last week, we chatted about triggers as part of our boundaries series. It’s possible that the reason you’re feeling fear around this could be that this topic is a sensitive trigger in your marriage. Infidelity, past transgressions, and more could all be contributing to this fear.
If you’re feeling triggered, ask yourself these questions. Is this a boundary that has been communicated? Was the boundary communicated clearly?What are the consequences if the boundary is not held?
We can communicate the boundary, but it’s HIS choice whether he is going to hold that boundary. We have to ask ourselves…How much are we trying to control? How much control do we need to let go of? We are likely holding onto control because of the fear of something that has happened in the past repeating itself, or because trust has been broken within your relationship. Let’s go a little deeper. There is a possibility that the fear is rooted in your need to protect yourself from harm. This is your brain’s way of keeping you safe. However, if you can focus on perfect love and forgiveness, this will drive out all fear. Fear can not exist where there is perfect love. LINKS MENTIONED:
