Welcome to the Delight Your Marriage podcast, the show where you hear from amazing and inspiring

wives sharing their struggles, triumphs, and advice for this journey called marriage.

Here's your host, Bella Rose.

Welcome to the show. Thank you for clicking on this episode. If you are anything like I have been and am still learning through, this title probably caught your eye. How to get him to do what you want. I feel like that's the desire of so many women. We met this man that we got a

crush on, he swept us off our feet, took us on dates, all of this wonderful excitement,

butterflies in your stomach. We got married and within a few short days, it seems, that man was gone

and now we've got this, you know, I heard a woman on Facebook say something like this slug.

My husband's a slug. I'm the hen that pecks around and does everything, but he's just sitting around doing

nothing.

Well, this is the episode that I hope and pray will change your mind because I might have said

things just like that just a few short months ago.

Things have dramatically changed. I'm going to tell you that

story. So I was married when I was very young and I started with similar patterns that I had seen growing up that led to a really horrific divorce of my parents.

But I just, I didn't know any better.

So that's exactly what I brought into my marriage.

And it was a lot of nitpicking and controlling and trying to find fault and trying to get my

significance from this other person that he wasn't able to give because I wasn't giving him

what he needed. And it was just this back and forth horrific pattern that we had, which led to

divorce. So after that marriage failure, I took a lot of stock. I learned a lot of things. I

read a lot and I started to make changes in the way I

approached a relationship. And when I started dating my now husband, I tried not to control him.

When we were dating, you know, he was not a Christian. I was not walking with Jesus at the time.
