Season 4

How can a wife respect her husband when his words are harsh, angry, or deeply hurtful?

Audrey considers a listener’s honest question about honoring God in a difficult marriage.

This conversation offers practical encouragement for praying and fasting, guarding your heart against bitterness, recognizing genuine evidences of grace, speaking the truth with wisdom, and seeking help from trusted church leadership when needed. Above all, it points wives toward an obedience rooted in love for Christ rather than another person’s behavior.

Respect does not require pretending sinful behavior is acceptable, remaining silent about wrongdoing, or refusing appropriate help. It means entrusting the results to God while asking Him for the grace to walk faithfully—one moment at a time.
