Who teaches a woman how to become a wife and mom?

A woman named Marlene has pondered this question.

She experienced loss early in life.

I lost mother in a very young age.

She didn't have a mom to show her how to love her husband and children.

She felt that loss as a young wife and mom, and then she met a very important person.

There's a young lady sitting here, Gwen, and we were neighbors.

And there were other women that spoke into my lives as I was becoming a mother and a life and going through a very difficult marriage.

And she modeled, and still today, her season parallels ahead of my season, and she models life.

And because she models life for me, she can speak into my life because I know what she's talking about.

There would be days that I would be so depressed, and the kids would be running around the house.

And she was going through a challenging time herself.

And she would take her walks, and she'd pop in my screen door.

Honey?

And she'd walk in my house.

This is the Revive Our Hearts podcast with Nancy DeMoss Walgamuth, author of Adorned, for July 13, 2018.

Yesterday, Nancy looked at the value of Titus II relationships where older women teach the younger women.

Today, some of the women who listen to that teaching are telling their stories.

Here's Marlene, telling us more about her mentor, Gwen.

She'd walk in my house, and she would just be there.

Nothing fancy, nothing.
