Episode notes

What do you do when you feel lonely or unloved in your marriage? In this episode, I share why trying to become a better wife through willpower alone left me depleted, and why I needed to focus on Jesus instead of just focusing on what I thought a good wife should do.

We’ll look at Leah’s story and her longing to be loved by Jacob. We’ll also talk about bringing unmet emotional needs to Jesus, building a relationship with Him, and trusting God with the long game—even when we can’t see what He’s doing yet.

If you’ve been carrying hurt in your heart, this episode is a reminder that you don’t have to carry it alone.

Scripture discussed: Genesis 29:16–35.
