The Secret to Being a Happy Wife - Jen Weaver
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 чер 2024
- For years, she was an unhappy, discontent wife. Jen found several reasons to be frustrated with her husband, including the fact that he wasn’t leading family devotions. But-one day, Jen felt conviction to adjust her approach to marriage, and it changed her life forever. Instead of focusing on what her husband wasn’t doing, Jen focused on growing closer to Jesus and asking Him to help her learn and grow.
With a fresh perspective, Jen began to feel genuine joy as a wife. In this one-day Focus on the Family broadcast, Jen sits down with Jim Daly, John Fuller, and Jim’s wife Jean Daly to discuss practical ways wives can find fulfillment and happiness in the marriage that they already have.

"I didn't stop talking about it, I just changed Who I was talking to". GOT IT! Thanks, Jen.
Loved this too!
Yes! I ❤️ that comment too!!
What a great perspective! Ohh! Deeply I thank you Jen. I can’t tamp down my thoughts & questions but I can turn & talk to Our Lord and therefore let my husband think freely in his own thoughts & questions.
I’m so grateful for this channel as a new wife. Rather than searching the internet for worldly advice, I come to this channel and you all take the time to introduce and discuss family topics biblically. Thank you.
I know!🥺🙏🏼♥️
"When you need prayer, do you go to your husband first or everybody else first?"

The length and depth of our growth is dependent to how much we are willing to yield to the Spirt of the Lord which teaches us all things.

On point!!😄👍
Oh I am going to relisten to this
WOW….. It’s been only 3 years since the release of this video… and only 100,000 views!?!?…….. Thank you, Lord for these views, but wow, come on people! Let’s get in the game!!
If you’re being abused do not stay and move on… get help if it’s safe enough to but do not be guilted into staying with an abusive partner. Most Christians are NOT trained on how to help with abuse… I was in a very abusive relationship for 3 years too long because of terrible advice and almost died..
I agree 100%. It’s never okay for anyone to be in a relationship that is abusive. It’s not safe nor is it healthy. People in the church will say pray about it and give it to the Lord. You can do that and you can also leave while you have a chance
I agree..my mother stayed in an abusive husband our whole life and we were 4 little girls and we just learned to say YES..SURE AND OBEY..it really affected our relationships with our husbands...im a Christian..and i think if my mom would have left and taken us to her parents..my grandfather would have set him straight..he fought in WW1 and he loved my dad but would have set him stait..i wish he had of..my sisters are devorced..one sister had 2 kids no husband and ive been married to a wonderful guy for 48 years..and i set the perimeters of anything that resembled even a hint of abuse BEFORE WE GOT EVEN ENGAGED,
And if they dont. I would say dont get married and find someone who respects you..Jesus doesnt abuse us and we should not put up with it..
Hope this helps❤❤
There are many wives abusing husbands out there as well, but it is taboo in the church to discuss it. Most pastors won't touch it. I was in a church once where the pastor continued to allow a woman who verbally abused her husband to teach a women's Bible study. He was being controlled by the women in that church.
Narcissist abuse is NOT okay, I'm talking about a real narcissistic personality.
My marriage has been a big huge struggle from the start. 8 years later and I’m at my wits end.
Ask yourself,"Is my unhappiness in my marriage really about how unhappy with myself inside I am "?
@@jefftube58 no, I actually was very happy pre-marriage. It is a lot that I can’t disclose. I /we need prayer 🙏
I don't have unrealistic expectations for my husband. I only expect that he goes to work in the morning and comes back in the evening. I take care of the rest.
Wow, wow wow wow👏
Does these methods (partnerships) apply to spiritual mismatch marriage too?
Sounds like she learned emotional maturity... Rather than anything else.
Changing ones self will affect how we are received and responded to. Our thoughts, words, maturity, accountability.
The problem can be when the leader does not want to take leadership, even if requested for help, he listens, might give an advice but not ‘let’s do it together’. Not an ‘uncaring’ husband as a company, helps with whatever is asked, but just can ‘see’ the purpose of it. It feels like ‘giving instructions’ rather communicating with someone you care and wants to be cared by, as well.
This is a tremendous interview.
🙌🙌🙌🙌☝️☝️☝️🙏🙏🙏🙏 I Soooo gree Jen
@@eddiesondangmailcom yess please go for it
Learning how be the threaded wife and not the frayed wife.
As a British person, all of this is so alien to me. I don't relate to any of it at all.
Americans are just weird
happiness to some wives are to monitor the handphones and schedules of their husbands and to jump on them if they think they have finally caught their spouse red handed
I married on 24th August
Submission is to put your mission under another’s mission.
Personally after 28 years of marriage I find that submission is two way. If both are giving for the others benefit then there will be times in the marriage where one gives up something for the other. Particularly if the woman has given up many things outside the home when the kids were younger and the husband has grown his career or vocation. It might quite simply be that the husband then is able to support the wife to follow God's calling outside of the home... I've seen this work so well... Especially going back to education etc.
@@KJ-lb4tj Submission should be dual. Both attentive to each other EQUALLY.
Submission should be a dual thing to one another, an interdependence on each other based on trust and love
Not sure what that is?
@@celticmist14 That's a false doctrine. Stop bringing feminism into Christian marriage. The husband is the Head NOT the wife. No we are not insecure and controlling.
What does it look like for a husband to submit himself first
Christ let himself be killed for his bride
Ephesians 5, may Holy Spirit help you understand it deeper🙃
He submits to The Lord.
I pray with my bestfriend more than my husband because of his choice. He is very private. And I am too wordy. We did have quiet times together when we first got married but it stopped after awhile.
Need to pray together more and work on communication. Private or not you're one now.
I don't really understand privacy in a marriage. How can you be one if one half isn't sharing?
Sounds more like housemates than husband and wife.
Maybe...but you can't force a husband to pray with you or talk to you. You can't force him to open up
Sad, I married an unbeliever. No interest at all to know the Lord😢
Maybe try it again... I encourage you to try again... Even if it means adjusting your wordiness a bit😊maybe pray about this and hear what the Lord says to you... The Lord Bless you Brenda🙏🙏🙏
Just curious…I thought the church was against fertility treatments? Can anyone shed light on this?
Fertility treatment i not always un -natural ways of trying to get pregnant. Its often like detoxes and supplements and life style changes also the diet. And this often helps for many. But not all and i am one of them.
Which church? Don't worry about "The Church". Ask what does The Bible say? That will tell you what The Lord thinks about it - which is the important part.
Eleven years is not very long to be married and be the expert on marriage.
Evidently she learned wisdom a lot faster than many wives!😄
The length and depth of our growth is dependent to how much we are willing to yield to the Spirt of the Lord which teaches us all things. This young lady, Jen Weaver is great💙
@@sandyk378 👍
It's better than asking an old maid😂
😪
How much did Christ love the church amd give up for her ? And how can we put this into practice ? 😉💖
Christ put just the same amount into loving the church and giving Himself for her as He put into submitting to the will of the Father: EVERYTHING. He was the example for both husbands and wives, since He never focused on one to the neglect or diminishing of the other.
Why is it alway about a happy wife, why not a happy husband.?
She talks about her husband not leading the family in faith, why doesn't she lead, who has stronger faith and pray for her husband.
I would rather to have heard from your wife first. Not a younger woman.
Was something she said wrong?
Biblical truth is ETERNAL; it doesn't have an age. Better that a younger woman learned Biblical truths that she applied and benefited from earlier on in life. Better to be spared the misery of 'being wrong too long' sooner versus later!
@@TheEllaTB nope👍

This is so childish. There are marriages in absolute trouble because of men who are still toddlers in an adult body.
That is why you don't marry them!😵
These hosts are terrible.
What do you mean?
