Leroy Wagner identifies something that bothers a lot of husbands.

When they see their wives treating other men like at church or in a public setting or friends,

with far more respect and far more courtesy and far more deference than they're receiving.

This is the Revive Our Hearts podcast for Wednesday, July 23rd, 2014.

All month, we're hearing from authors in the True Woman line of books.

This week, we've seen how a marriage can enter a downward spiral.

Kim and Leroy Wagner experienced this early in marriage.

Neither felt loved, and they acted out of hurt.

Kim became more critical, and Leroy more withdrawn.

Earlier in the week, they told us about their struggles. They also described the process God used to heal and the closeness they now experience.

If you missed it, you can hear the entire story at Revive Our Hearts.com.

Now they're back with Nancy Lee DeMoss, offering practical advice on how you can find freedom

and change direction in your marriage.

We tell couples all the time, and it's a real joy to be able to talk with couples about these things

and point them to the scripture and point them to the grace of God that's sufficient

and be able to experience that God is able, God is powerful, God is aware of what's going on

in your lives and in your marriage.

But we tell them all the time and we are absolutely, we say it with great smiles and joy

on our face, that we are enjoying the best time of our marriage, the greatest joy, and know that even the Lord has more growth and joy in the journey. It is a testimony to the truthfulness of God's word, to the power of the living God, the resurrected Christ, and it is a testimony to the work

of the Holy Spirit in working through people like yourself, Nancy.

And God is at work in people's lives.

And I shuddered to think people that were now where Kim and I were. I don't want anybody to be in that place.
