Crawford-Loritz tells wives they have a huge influence.

Most women tragically underestimate the power they have in helping to shape the confidence of their husband.

Even the strongest, most independent man, ladies, if you're listening to me, don't ever underestimate the power of your response to that man. Ladies, if you're listening to me, don't ever underestimate the power of your response to that

man to make him and contribute to what God intends for him to be.

This is the Revive Our Hearts podcast with Nancy DeMas Walgamou, author of Choosing Forgiveness

for July 24, 2019.

I feel so blessed and honored to be having this conversation this week with Crawford

and Karen Leritz.

They've been longtime friends, and I've always appreciated hearing them teach and preach and

write, and I've learned so much from both of them.

But I've been listening extra close, you guys, since I got married, and have been just

taking in kind of like a sponge, the wisdom that God's given you

in 47 plus years of marriage. And you all have been cheerleaders for Robert and me. You've

encouraged us in our journey. And this book that you've written on marriage called Your Marriage

Today and Tomorrow, it's not that long a book. It doesn't take all that long to read,

but probably a lifetime to learn to live it out. And you've been practicing it for almost 50 years now.

So thank you for your faithfulness to God, to each other, and for the sacrifices you've made to

share out of your lives and your journey with people like me.

Well, thank you, Nancy. There have been people who sacrificed on our behalf, too, and it's just a joy to be with you.

I've mentioned on the earlier days the endorsements that your children wrote among many others at the front of this book.

And I think the most touching ones are the ones who came

from your kids who've grown up in your home and are now the parents of your 11 grandchildren.
