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.

I hate to admit it.

I hate to admit it, but I truly believe that I am a recovering controller.

I just want things to go the way I want them to go, and I'm just so scared that they might not go the way that I want them to go. I'm in a process. If you have

listened to this podcast before, you know, we talk about intimacy in all forms in marriage,

physical, spiritual, emotional intimacy. Today we are talking about all of those, but this is the second half of a powerful

interview by Sherry Jennings. If you haven't listened to the first half, I really

encourage you to go back and listen to it even before you listen to this one, because it really

sets up the stage for why we control and what God wants to do about that. What does that mean for

our relationship with God first and foremost? And then how does that matter to our marriage?

And how do we need to change? So powerful second half, Sherry has got an unbelievable story.

And let's go ahead and dive in and hear our insights.

Okay, well, wait, can I just talk about the divorce for one second?

Oh, that's right.

I want to skip that part.

No, no, no, please. Because I didn't want the divorce. I'd read through God's word to find out about divorce and gosh, it grieves his heart. And the last thing I wanted to do is grieve his heart. But I did file for divorce because in Connecticut, if he had driven, drunk, and killed someone, Stephen and I could lose the house.

We could lose everything that Scott and I had built.

And so we did file, and that made Scott very angry for whatever reason, because he knew that's not what he wanted, really.
