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 be a Godly wife. 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.

As Christians, we often avoid talking about sex. Why?? In this episode, we go there!
We specifically talk about what it means for wives whose husbands want sex more than they do. We identify several myths about the topic and explore how you can start to have more loving, connected sex with your husband that you're looking forward to - rather than doing it out of obligation.
Our guest, Janna Denton Howes is a Desire Coach who helps women married to men, create intimacy in their marriage that feels authentic.

So often I’ve heard the phrase “my husband feels more like a roommate than a soulmate”. Back when I was in the midst of separation I felt the same way - yet I didn’t know it was a common feeling at the time.
That roommate feeling is a symptom of a much bigger issue. That issue is a lack of intimacy and genuine connection.
You may already know that you’re lacking intimacy and connection in your marriage. The question is - why? and What can we do to bring back that feeling we once had.
In this episode, We discuss the reason for this lack of connection in your marriage and how we can work to restore intimacy with your husband.

In the last episode, we learned that the key to more intimacy and connection in marriage was vulnerability. We learned it was the way to fight against roommate syndrome.
The question is - How do we be more vulnerable when we feel unseen, unheard, have been dismissed, interrupted, or told we’re “too emotional” by our husbands when we speak?

All too often we want a “quick fix” out of the things that we don’t like. We want to “get rich quick” or “loose weight fast” or in the case of marriage we want our husbands to be better right away. We want to go from roommates to soul mates overnight, but sadly, just like when we’ve gained lots of weight, that excess and unhealthiness takes a long time to burn off. In this episode we dig into that very topic.

In this episode, I quickly give you some of the information we learn in the Grace Fueled Marriage Method where we investigate conflict resolution strategy and discover how to communicate our interest - or reasons for feeling a certain way rather than our position on how we feel. Think about what would happen if politicians discussed issues vs. arguing to defend their stance on them. This strategy will open the doors to communication while avoiding your husband’s defensive reactions.

Have you ever argued or tried to have a rational discussion with your husband only to have him respond with something like:
- “That’s your issue, not mine”
- “I can’t control what you think”
- “You’re being so dramatic”
- “What about when you did…”
This is so frustrating!!! If your husband often responds to you using statements such as this or If your husband refuses to take accountability or responsibility for his wrongs and even worse tries to turn it around to you he is using deflection as his defense mechanism.
While deflection is a symptom of some emotional immaturity and in some cases can be a symptom of a greater issue (i.e. narcissism) there is hope! This episode will give you some tools to cope and overcome deflective behavior.
