Andrea Griffith knows that she's more likely to be the one to talk in her marriage,

so she needs to make sure she's leaving space for her husband.

For me, as more of the talker, I have to learn to sometimes be quiet, so he will talk.

Choose wisely what you're saying if you are the talker.

And I know for us, communication is just

finding the time to make it a priority. This is the Revive Our Hearts podcast with Nancy

DeMoss-Walkalmoo, co-author of True Woman 101 for Tuesday, July 4th, 2017. Yesterday, Pastor Trent Griffith began a series from Ephesians 5 for husbands and wives.

Layed the groundwork in this passage on husbands loving their wives as Christ loves the church.

Now, I understand that Revive Our Hearts is a program for women, but we wanted you to hear

his teaching for both wives and husbands.

If you're single, understanding a husband's role will help you to know what to look for in a

potential spouse.

And if you're married, hearing about a husband's role will help you to know what to look for in a potential spouse. And if you're married,

hearing about a husband's role will help you know how to pray for your husband and how to encourage him. And another reason to listen is that today, Trent's wife Andrea will speak to men

about what makes a wife feel loved. And I think Andrea's explanation of a wife's needs is an example to all of us

of how to respectfully talk with our husbands about important issues. Now, as you listen,

you'll need to imagine a green plant up on stage next to Trent and Andrea. In the message we

heard yesterday, Trent used that plant as an object lesson of how a husband is to nourish and cherish his wife.

Today, we'll pick up where we left off yesterday in Ephesians 5.

Your marriage will either display or distort the glory of God.

Do you know what's at stake in your marriage?

The gospel being known to the world.
