Do you find yourself criticizing or complaining about your husband more than you’d like? In this Q&A episode, we take a biblical look at why criticism creeps into marriage and how to break free from a grumbling spirit.

Together, we’ll explore:

• Why criticism and complaining erode intimacy and trust
• The biblical call to “do everything without grumbling or disputing” (Philippians 2:14)
• How neuroscience confirms that repeated complaints rewire your brain for negativity
• Practical tools like the 5-to-1 compliment-to-criticism rule, gratitude journals, and daily affirmations
• How respecting your husband reflects Christ in your marriage

This episode is filled with biblical encouragement and practical strategies to help you build up your spouse instead of tearing him down.
