Episode 189 - Insights on Helping vs Nagging in Marriage

In this Insights episode, Christa and Laura unpack a topic many wives wrestle with - the difference between helping and nagging. With honesty and biblical insight, they talk through communication in marriage, checking our motives, and learning how to approach our husbands with wisdom and grace.

Along the way, they reflect on the freedom we have in Christ, the beauty of God’s design for marriage, and the importance of going back to Scripture for guidance - even in the hard or messy moments.

A real, practical, and hope-filled conversation for anyone wanting to honour God in their marriage.
