Summary
There wasn't peace at home, kids constantly saw us arguing, I didn't want to be at home, I was doing many things on my own with the kids because my husband didn't want to do things with me, I was craving for other male attention who valued me."
After the Delighted Wife Program:
"My heart has softened and I can now see the brokenness in my husband, that he was just a very wounded soul. He was trying to love me and wanted this marriage to work but he had no clue how to go about improving it and was instead making things worse.
Wholehearted intimacy. Not arguing for a long time and the atmosphere has completely shifted, there is peace at home and he is a much happier and better father to the children...
Impacted everything, it turned everything around. My husband is now loving, patient, caring, and a very present and patient father."

| 0:00.0 | Hello there. Welcome. So this is an episode I'm recording on a Wednesday. And if you've been a |
| 0:12.1 | long time listener, you know Wednesdays are my days off of all electronics so I can rest and |
| 0:20.3 | rejuvenate with Jesus. |
| 0:23.1 | And I spent time with him this morning, and it was so refreshing and so good. |
| 0:31.8 | And I guess I'm trying to discern if this is something I should share or I'm just going to record this for myself. So if I end up posting it, you'll know that I felt like it was something I should share. John Piper, who I highly respect Pastor John Piper, he says, he said something like when he was asked about his prayer habits. |
| 1:03.5 | You know, he talked about how Jesus says, when you fast, don't fast like the, or pray, sorry, when you pray, don't pray, like the people who |
| 1:14.0 | are basically praying for other people's benefit, like just to impress other people. |
| 1:20.4 | So he said there's a spiritual temptation or like I could be negatively spiritually impacted by sharing my prayer habits. |
| 1:33.7 | It's kind of how he said it. |
| 1:35.0 | And I guess my thought, though, was he went ahead, like he said, there's a spiritual danger, |
| 1:41.8 | almost like of pride and that kind of thing, or him losing his reward for his spiritual disciplines. |
| 1:48.7 | But the thing is, from my perspective, when John Piper did share his prayer habits, |
| 1:56.2 | though he did it with a lot of hesitation and care not to puff himself up. It really inspired me. |
| 2:05.1 | And every time I see a person of the Lord who's contrite and humble and seeks God. And I see such |
| 2:15.0 | fruit of character and wisdom and kindness ah, kindness and the fruit of the |
| 2:20.9 | spirit. When they share, when they are generous enough to share their quiet life, their private |
| 2:29.9 | life with me, it inspires me. And it gives me a vision of like, oh my gosh, you can live like that. |
| 2:38.5 | And so hopefully that's my heart today. Hopefully my heart is not to puff myself up, but really is |
| 2:48.3 | there are options to the way you live that you might not even |
| 2:55.3 | realize are available to you. And, you know, my husband's from another culture, and that gives us |
| 3:03.8 | so much opportunity to see things differently. |
| 3:09.8 | So often, I'm in his culture and I'm like, what? |
