Summary
I encourage you to first listen to Part 1 here. Today, you get to hear the gory details of how awful I was...from my husband. He is giving you all the dirt on me, for your benefit (hopefully!). There's a ton of mistakes I made that I thought was helping, but was actually driving a severe wedge between us. I was making it impossible for him to love me in the ways I was desperate for him to love me.
God has taught me a ton in my marriage. But by God's grace, He continues to teach me. I thought I had it all figured out---but I had a lot more to learn. Through The Surrendered Wife book, I learned so much and I made important changes. But here's my journey of understanding, right from my own husband.
In part 2, you'll hear what was really going on behind closed doors.
- All the big mistakes I made which was wreaking havoc on my marriage though I had no idea.
- Why my husband didn't want to go to weddings & social events that I so desperately wanted him to attend.
- How my insecurity caused my husband to be more insecure and wanted to do less of the activities I really wanted them to do.
- How I would treat my husband at parties, when walking down the street, and even in public at the grocery store ;/
- Why he felt like I treated him like a child and why I felt like he was acting like a child.
- How I realized that the truth of this scripture - Eph 5:33 Let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.
There's a ton that has changed but it was a pretty muddy road, and I wonder if you might be able to relate or can hear how to avoid my mistakes.

| 0:08.2 | wives sharing their struggles, triumphs, and advice for this journey called marriage. |
| 0:14.1 | Here's your host, Bella Rose. |
| 0:18.8 | Hey there and welcome. |
| 0:20.5 | Thank you so much for joining. Now I don't know if you've listened to the show before, |
| 0:24.5 | but it's really focused on giving you the inspiration and the empowerment to live in wholehearted |
| 0:31.4 | intimacy in your marriage because the most intimate marriages, emotional intimacy, spiritual intimacy, and physical intimacy, |
| 0:40.5 | they are the most powerful marriages, the most unified. |
| 0:44.3 | I truly believe you can do the most for God if you are connected in those ways. |
| 0:50.4 | So today is really focused in on emotional intimacy that affects everything else. |
| 0:57.4 | It really does because essentially what my husband and I came from was a place where, |
| 1:04.8 | though we had great physical intimacy, we really did, |
| 1:08.7 | there was lacking this emotional intimacy that I could not figure out. |
| 1:13.5 | It was really confusing because I was doing all this work on marriage. I had read so many books on |
| 1:20.0 | marriage. And yet there was a piece that still I was stumbling over. And it wasn't until we read a |
| 1:26.2 | specifically, or I read a specific book called The Surrendered |
| 1:29.1 | Wife that I, things clicked. And I talk about that in part one of why he became romantic. I talk about |
| 1:38.6 | that. But this part two, I wanted to focus in on practically what you can do as a wife to encourage your |
| 1:47.7 | husband to essentially become the man you fell in love with again. You know, somehow he got, |
| 1:54.2 | you guys got married and it seemed like he changed, right? But how do you encourage him to become the man not only that you would fall in love with, |
| 2:03.3 | but also the man that God wants him to be? And does that mean you are the woman that forces him to |
| 2:10.3 | be those things? I mean, is that working for you? It definitely didn't work for me. And my husband is |
