Rebuilding Us: Marriage Podcast

Most women crave the prayers of their husbands. Most Christian wives strongly desire their husbands to lead spiritually, but at the very least, as a husband, you can pray for your wife. Inspired by my previous episode where the wives were given five prayers to pray for their husbands, I am now highlighting the five essential prayers that husbands can pray for their wives. These prayers delve into the core aspects of a woman’s life—mind, purpose, emotions, body, and even the husband himself. Now, let’s uncover these simple yet powerful prayers that every husband can offer for their wives.

Married couples often find themselves in the midst of conversations with friends that touch upon intimate topics such as sex. Learn to have authentic not awkward conversations with the one you love. While sharing experiences and seeking advice from friends can be beneficial, it's crucial to navigate these discussions with sensitivity and respect. In this episode  Dan and Emily Purcell of the Get Your Marriage On! Podcast join me and my hubby, Shaun, as we explore the importance of setting boundaries in conversations about sex, a “no-churchy” Christian perspective on discussing intimate matters with friends, and the significance of openness and authenticity between spouses.  The Sextimacy Challenge Invitation: Dan shared about the genesis of the Intimately Us app, a tool designed to help couples intentionally build intimacy.

Prayer is essential to a healthy, Christian marriage. It fortifies the bond between husband and wife like nothing else. As a loving wife, lifting your husband up in prayer can be very impactful on his life and your marriage. Knowing what to pray for, however, can sometimes be challenging, especially if your husband doesn’t readily share his innermost thoughts and struggles.  In this episode we share five heartfelt prayers you can incorporate into your daily routine to cover your husband in God's grace and support him in various aspects of his life.

Marriage comes with its fair share of ups and downs. And finding a support system . . . a tribe, like Thrive Wives, is essential. I believe every wife needs a tribe. Mine is called Thrive Wives. In this episode, I talk about the profound impact of wife tribes – a network of supportive women who share their experiences, insights, and encouragement. We uncover the transformative power of wife tribes, including the importance of embracing vulnerability, breaking free from isolation, and fostering intentional connections for personal and relational growth. Just like a healthy marriage, a cornerstone of any successful wife tribe is vulnerability. Opening up to others about our struggles can be intimidating. Fear of judgment or others’ expectations often leads many wives to keep their marriage problems hidden. In Thrive Wives, women are encouraged to embrace vulnerability and share their experiences within a trusted community. This not only brings solutions and healing but also forges beautiful, meaningful friendships. Thrive Wives is accepting applications now.

In the healthiest of families, disagreements surface, and the church, as a spiritual family, is no exception. Join us in this edition of Faith Friday as we draw inspiration from the word of God to help us navigate the path toward healing church hurt. Is It Church Hurt or Offense? Church hurt involves intentional or unintentional actions that cause pain, such as abuse, slander, or betrayal within the church community. On the other hand, offense is a perceived insult, a feeling of being disregarded or left out. Understanding this is important. Knowing the difference lays the foundation for the healing process. It helps individuals discern whether they actually need healing from hurt or if they need to learn how to live unoffendably.  Learn how to confront situations, aim for restoration, healthily leave a church, and much more in this episode!

Getting your heart broken hurts like heck and they can be hard to heal from. Though heartbreaks are a painful part of the human experience, you can heal a broken heart and come out stronger and more resilient because of it. Whether it's the end of a romantic relationship, the loss of a loved one, or the shattering of a deep friendship, the emotional toll can be overwhelming. As painful as it may be, heartbreak offers an opportunity for self-reflection and personal growth. When you don’t acknowledge what was done, you can’t heal from what was done. However, just as the heart can break, it also has an incredible capacity to heal. In this episode, I share how to mend a broken heart with practical tips that may help expedite the healing process.

How would you describe the landscape of your marriage? Most married couples aren’t so intentional about designing the marriage they actually want but rather they respond to the marriage they seem to have. Today, our guests Gary and Tamra Andress vulnerably share their story of rehabilitating their sexually broken marriage. They shed light on the intricate challenges and intentional growth they experienced in their marriage as they weeded out what wasn’t helping them and, instead, planted seeds that have now grown into a loving, safe, and healthy marriage.  This episode is for those who have struggled with infidelity, sexual addictions, or just need a tune-up in your marriage.  Find the full show notes at realrelationshiptalk.com/205.   Links Mentioned in this Episode:  Learn How to Start Better Conversations When in Conflict - FREE PDF Download The book that helped led to Tamra’s healing from sexual brokenness:  No Stones: Women Redeemed from Sexual Addiction  Connect with Tamra and learn about her business coaching   SUBSCRIBE | SHARE | RATE | COMMENT  To ensure you never miss an episode, be sure to subscribe or follow on Apple Podcasts, Google Play, Spotify, iHeart Radio, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

In the wake of a new year, resolutions often include a commitment to attend church services. Yet the question for many lingers, "Do I really need to go to church?" In this episode of Faith Fridays on Real Relationship Talk,  we address this question, grounding our discussion in the scripture Hebrews 10:24-25. The Purpose of Church Attending church is not merely a religious obligation. It goes beyond rituals and traditions, the early church, as depicted in the scriptures, gathered primarily for prayer, fellowship, and mutual encouragement. Other than corporate worship, learning the truth of God’s Word, and praying, the main purpose of church is to build courage among believers in the face of life's challenges. The core tenets of the early church were not centered around modern concepts of preaching and worship but revolved around prayer and fellowship. In unpacking the scripture from Hebrews, the importance of courage is derived from the root word of "encouragement." Christians find strength and motivation through the mutual encouragement they receive within the church community. Key Scripture: Hebrews 10:24-25 (NIV): 24 And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, 25 not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.   Find the full show notes at realrelationshiptalk.com/204.  Links Mentioned in this Episode: Download Your Free Speak Life Audio Affirmations Here.   SUBSCRIBE | SHARE | RATE | COMMENT  To ensure you never miss an episode, be sure to subscribe or follow on Apple Podcasts, Google Play, Spotify, iHeartRadio, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

If there’s one thing that pushes my buttons, it’s the objectification of women. Women have been indoctrinated to believe their worth is in their bodies alone. But there is so much more to the worth and value of a woman! In the sea of opinions, philosophies, and societal pressures, it's easy to get lost in the noise and lose sight of what truly matters – our self-worth. Whether you're a Christian woman, a non-Christian, young, old, black, white, thin, or heavy, the pervasive issue of objectification affects all of us. In a world inundated with messages about power, success, and beauty, we must pause and reflect on what truly defines our essence as women. The culture around us incessantly screams sex as the ultimate idol; it’s interwoven into every aspect of our lives. From power women on TV to seemingly glamorous “power couples,” the narrative often revolves around the objectification of women. Let's talk about it.  Find the full show notes at realrelationshiptalk.com/203.    Links Mentioned in this Episode: Get Your Free Conversation Starters Guide Here  Watch the podcast on YouTube!    SUBSCRIBE | SHARE | RATE | COMMENT  To ensure you never miss an episode, be sure to subscribe or follow on Apple Podcasts, Google Play, Spotify, iHeart Radio, or wherever you listen to podcasts.
