A man hears our words differently.

There are a lot of times that we believe he can't do something,

and part of why he can't do it is because we've never let him do it.

You can't have a spiritually healthy marriage if you're a spiritually immature woman.

You're not going to be standing with your husband in the final day when you meet your maker.

You'll stand before him and it'll be you.

You're responsible for your spiritual health. Everything you thought you knew about building a thriving marriage might be missing a transformative truth, the power of overcoming a quarrelsome spirit. In this episode, not only do I discuss with my guest overcoming being a nag and quarrelsome and anxious, but also we discuss biblical submission and what that practically looks like even when your husband is actively sinning. Today I'm thrilled to welcome Tilly Dillahaye,

acclaimed author of the brand new book, My Dear Hemlock,

a beautiful exploration of resisting temptation

and cultivating feminine virtues in a world of comparison.

She is a homeschool mom, a pastor's wife,

and compelling voice with Canon Press.

She brings biblical wisdom and practical advice

to help women move from contention to gratitude. This episode is one of my team's very favorites

of the season, all of the women on my team, and including Simon, my editor said, I just love this.

really showed me the lead I need to take

as the man in a relationship one day. And he's just precious. So any single women, Simon, for you,

you just let me know. Anyway, I hope this episode really fosters a sense of peace in you. It helps

you embrace a godly approach to marriage. Obviously, I'm not married yet, but I really appreciated this episode. It taught me so much, convicted me of so much, and I get a little vulnerable. So, um, you guys have appreciated that before. Hopefully you don't burn me at the stake this time. Watch this episode on the Culture Apothecary Spotify or Real Alex Clark on YouTube.

Is telling women to speak their truth, turning women into nags? Yes. I think so. That's a great way to say that. Telling a person that if you
