Communication struggles are one of the most common issues in marriage. You are not alone if this applies to you. In this week’s episode, we discuss the importance of communication, and I share three key ideas for improving your communication in marriage.  First, we recognize that everything a person does or doesn't do communicates something. Second, we look to understand the lens or perspective through which communications are filtered, both when speaking and listening. Lastly, I emphasize the importance of allowing spiritual guidance in communication, particularly in difficult conversations.  We also talk about this month’s Podcast birthday celebration where we are giving away Amazon gift cards to listeners who join the mailing list and submit a review of the podcast.   00:52 The Importance of Communication 01:36 Podcast Birthday Celebration and Giveaway 04:07 Understanding Communication in Relationships 08:02 The Power of Perception in Communication 19:03 The Role of God in Communication   Wait!!!

In this week’s episode, I continue my conversation with Annette Otlmans. Annette takes us into the mind of a chronic abuser and gives us the 4 pillars of emotional abuse which are: Ridgid thinking in these areas: Entitlement Image management Faulty belief system Lower emotional IQ   Annette and I also discuss what the bible says about submission, oppression, and abuse as it relates to being a biblical wife. We talk about toxic masculinity but also acknowledge the ways in which the patriarchy can be benevolent.  Lastly, Annette gives us resources and steps to take if we realize we’re in an abusive relationship but aren’t able to or choose not to leave.  If this episode resonated with you or you think may apply to someone you know, please share it!

Do you ever feel like what is wrong with me? Am I not loveable? Why do we have so many communication problems? Are you wondering why your relationship is so toxic? Have you felt like you’re walking on eggshells and can’t determine if your husband is abusive or just has a cranky demeanor? All these questions are answered in this interview with Annette Oltmans of the Mend Project as she shares her work with us on covert emotional abuse. This is one of my most important episodes to date because as Annette says - “Clarity is the first step to healing.” She answers questions such as: What is emotional abuse?  What is double abuse and what can pastors and therapists do to prevent it? How can we discern if we are in a double abuse situation?  What is the responsibility of the complementarian church as it relates to abuse and telling women to submit to their husbands?  What are common abusive behaviors and red flags we should look out for?  What is the difference between someone with a mean/cranky disposition (or someone raised with bad habits) vs. a chronic abuser?  If this episode resonated with you or you think may apply to someone you know, please share it!

Have you ever suspected that you or your husband might have ADHD? You’re not alone. Experts are estimating that ADHD is overlooked AND underdiagnosed in adult women because symptoms present as more internalized and with less hyperactivity as compared to men.   Unless there is a deep understanding of one another, having only 1 neurodivergent spouse can cause major communication roadblocks and disagreements in a marriage. In this episode, we explore how to handle those differences and what it looks like to set goals for your marriage to ensure you grow together rather than grow apart.    My guest, Dr. Danielle McGeough can be found through the following resources: Many hard-working women and high-achieving mommas struggle to find time to make memories with their families and do meaningful work.

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?

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 you When 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. ________________   Wait!!!

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.

In today's episode with Dana Che, we hear about her own marriage testimony, about the marital problems she and her husband faced, and how they overcame them through the help of the Holy Spirit. We touch on the differences between marriage counseling and therapy versus marriage coaching. Ultimately each are important in different times and seasons. However, the main difference is counseling is talking about the problem, and coaching is finding solutions and results for the goals you have as a couple. We dive into the question of how to get your husband to go to marriage counseling. The main question is why do you want your husband to go, what are the issues your marriage is facing, and can they be addressed through other means? Once we know our goal, we can work our way backwards to get there. Men are often reluctant to go to counseling, but they may be open to reading a book together, listening to a podcast, or going to dinner with another couple who may provide insight into your situation. If your marriage absolutely needs outside help, allow your husband to be a part of the process in choosing a counselor. Put the ball in his court. If he isn’t interested, offer some suggestions and let him choose. If he is adamant against it, this is where prayer comes in.  Pray for God to change your spouse's heart, continue to love your husband right where he is, and allow the Holy Spirit to soften that hard heart. Ultimately it's up to God's timeline. We can't control our husbands, and will waste so much time trying to. Rather, we should suggest turning the focus on yourself, on ways you can improve and relinquishing that control over to God. In both of our testimonies as well as countless others, the change didn't come until we let go, and let God.   You can Follow Dana Che on Instagram and her website.   Wait!!!

We are wrapping up our series on intimacy this week. Today, we're talking about the number one way to divorce-proof your marriage. You can have all of the communication tools in the world, but if you fail to do this one thing, your marriage could be at risk.  The number one way to divorce-proof your marriage is by making deposits as a couple into the love tank of your marriage. The idea is to consistently make deposits into the tank. Then, in difficult times, you can pull from the reserves, and there will be enough leftover to sustain you.  When a couple only makes withdrawals, eventually the tank runs dry, and small disagreements can become full-blown arguments.   My goal is to help you prevent that from happening. We are all human, and we will inevitably fail our spouse in some way. However, when there is love left in the tank, it is far more likely we will give each other grace and move forward.   Wait!!!

Intimacy in a marriage is something we all want and need, but we don't always prioritize it. If you are looking for tips on how to reignite intimacy in your marriage, today's podcast episode is for you!   I touch on three tangible ways you can build more intimacy with your spouse in your marriage today.   1. Building Trust When you have trust in your marriage, you know your spouse has your best interest at heart, and you are on the same team. You know they aren't going to hurt you, physically or emotionally. Intimacy requires vulnerability, and the only way to be truly vulnerable with your spouse is to have that shared trust.   2. You Can Complain But You Can't Criticize In order to build intimacy in your marriage, you need to be able to express your feelings. You can't have trust and safety, if you feel like your voice isn't being heard. The goal is to express frustrations with a specific action of your spouse rather than attacking their character. By attacking your spouse's character, it puts them on the defensive, and it breaks the trust in your marriage. When you are complaining, you are talking about the action. When you are criticizing, you are talking about their character.    3. Focus on Shared AND Individual Interests For intimacy in marriage to thrive, you both need to feel comfortable to pursue your own interests. This may seem counterintuitive, but by having separate interests, it shows you respect your spouse enough to allow him to be his own person, and vice-versa. By giving your spouse freedom (within the boundaries of your marriage), you are showing that you respect his individuality. You can then come back together and enjoy your shared interests.   Wait!!!

Hey Mama!    Recently, I've been dealing with prolonged stress which led to feelings of anxiety and burnout. I’ve since thought a lot about its effects on marriage and had to share!     While anxiety is characterized by feelings of constant fear and worry, making it difficult to connect with our partners, burnout is different.    Burnout can manifest as physical, mental, and emotional exhaustion, leaving us feeling drained and unable to engage in the emotional and physical aspects of our relationships. Burnout is a result of prolonged stress and anxiety!   It's important to remember - this is more normal than you think! Many of us are going through the same thing. That’s why it's so crucial for couples to be open and honest with each other about their struggles and to work together to find ways to support one another during this challenging time AND to protect their marriages from these external pressures.   Some tips to help alleviate the effects of anxiety and burnout on your marriage include: Prioritizing self-care and making time for self-reflection Communicating openly and honestly with your husband about your feelings Making a conscious effort to connect with your partner, whether it be through a shared activity or simply spending quality time together Finding ways to de-stress and relax together, such as taking a walk or praying.   Remember, it's okay to not be okay and it's okay to ask for help. If you or your partner are struggling with anxiety or burnout, consider reaching out to a therapist who can help!    With love and grace,   Beatriz Vargas   Wait!!!

Ever worried that you married the wrong man? Maybe your husband isn’t spiritual enough, affectionate enough, or proactive enough.

We’ve all heard about couples who “grow apart.” It’s what happens when they become so disconnected and far away that they have trouble getting back to the passion and love they once shared. This “growing apart” usually starts off with roommate syndrome.

Wives, I see you out there - trying as best you can to hold the family together. Trying to maintain an image of a respectable family - which you have, except that your husband shows up much less than you let on. I see you, making excuses for him when he doesn’t show up to church, a family event, or an invitation to a friends house. I see you. searching for community, trying, what it seems like - all on your own to build a stronger faith foundation in your home.    I see you mama, trying to keep it quiet because you don’t wan’t anyone thinking bad about your husband. He is a good man. He loves you. He loves your kids. You just wish he would show up in more new areas - like  pray for the family, lead the family, show the loving soft heart of Jesus towards others.  You want to show love and grace to your husband, despite feeling frustrated, hurt and disappointed. My story is your story. From being abandoned by my husband for my faith to reconciling and leading ministry together, to making excuses again, I have been there. The most important thing I’ve learned is this:   Being a grace fueled wife means a commitment to continue working on the marriage EVEN IF he isn’t showing up. It means being in constant prayer for your husband and surrendering the final outcome of your marriage to God.    But when happens when you’re tired?

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.

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.

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.  Wait!!!

What would life look like if we actually took the time to care for ourselves?   In this episode, we talk about everyone’s favorite 4 letter word - SELF - This isn’t some woo episode on self-love, rather a discussion.    As Christians, we are often taught to die to self or deny ourselves. At the same time, Jesus commands us to love others as ourselves. Yet many of us treat ourselves pretty badly.  As wives and mothers, we run around serving everyone else leaving nothing left for us. In this episode, we discuss how can do both. How we can take time for ourselves AND serve our families? More importantly, WHY should we prioritize doing so?    Here are other episodes I reference during this conversation:   Episode 74: How to get what you want without nagging https://thegracefueldwife.podbean.com/e/how-to-get-what-you-want-without-nagging/   Episode 40: Do I need it or just WANT it?

The book Love and Respect by Dr. Emmerson Eggerich can be both transformative and controversial. I found its principles to be really helpful for me on my journey yet have found that SO MANY WOMEN take issue with the way it's written.  Understandably so, It's hard to hear from a MAN who has never been married to a difficult man that he MUST respect his spouse. Then again, we've never been married to a disrespectful wife... Either way, I break down the book and scripture from which it's based to offer us a fresh way of thinking about our marriage roles today.    Wait!!!

In almost every episode I give a disclaimer about how this info doesn’t apply if you are in an abusive relationship. I talk about how you should first focus on getting yourself safe, then if you feel led working on that marriage from a safe place. Unfortunately, abuse can come in many forms and when that abuse is not physical, it can leave the abused person confused.    In today’s episode, my friend certified Trauma and Resilience Coach, Ronica Cormier host of the Mama trauma podcast talks to us about what it means to live with a Narcissist. This episode will help you identify narcissistic behavior and maybe shed light on some of your questions.    In this episode you will learn:   5 Signs you are living with a narcissist: 1- Narcissistic individuals are self-centered 2- Manipulate the situation 3- Pass the blame and don’t take accountability for their actions 4- Confrontations either end up in a blow-up of Narcissistic rage or a “Word salad”  5- They lack empathy     What does God’s word say about how we should treat our abusers?  What are some ways we can move forward?   Did you love our guest?

This topic came from several different posts I've read from wives saying how they’ve tried everything even counseling but their husband continues to be controlling, watch porn or even over-spend while they expect their wives to pick up the slack.  These women are desperate and frustrated. The common theme I see that they have little to NO boundaries.   In this episode you will learn: 5:05 Why are boundaries in marriage important? 5:26 How do I show grace to my husband without being a doormat? 5:53 What is a boundary anyway? 7:54 what happens when our boundaries aren’t clear? 8:22 What do boundaries in marriage look like?  10:00 How can I honor God while still honoring my boundaries?  12:38 How can setting boundaries become manipulative? 15:36 What are the 10 Laws of boundaries?      Wait!!!

Are you holding onto this idea that is stealing your joy?

Letting go of perfection has allowed me to open up my hands to receive what God has for me instead.   Wait!!!
