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.
