Summary

How do you speak life to your husband when all you want to do is yell at him?

Juli sits down for a candid conversation with author Ann Wilson about the transformative power of our words. Hear how Ann discovered that her (helpful!) criticism, even her subtle “sophisticated nagging,” wasn’t helping her husband at all—in fact, it was hurting both of them.

With real-life stories and practical wisdom, this conversation proves that a few well-chosen words can transform a marriage.
