About this listen

 Do you want to connect deeper with your husband? Is he too laid-back or passive, and you feel like you NEED to do EVERYTHING? Is this affecting intimacy in your marriage? How can you connect when you feel like you’re always carrying the weight of the whole family on your shoulders?

Girl, you are in the right place! Welcome to the Connected Christian Wife podcast where I give you the strategies you need to lay down the mental load and be physically and emotionally connected with your husband, so you can have intimacy in your marriage - EVEN with kids!

Hey, I’m Jennifer. A wife, mom of two littles, and a daughter of the King. For the first three years of our marriage, my husband and I struggled to connect.

You see, my man is one of the most laid-back people I know, and I felt like if I didn’t take control in our home, things would fall apart., We don’t live in the same country as our families, so we do not have the luxury of dropping the kids at grandma’s house so we can go on dates, or even have a break.

This left me stressed, burnt out, angry and resentful. Which only made us pull further away from each other.

I finally decided to surrender and seek God’s guidance. Through the help of the Holy Spirit, I realised I was carrying too much. The pressure and weight on my shoulders was causing a strain in my marriage.

And what happened next FLOORED me! I felt emotionally safe to voice my needs. My husband stepped up, and he started to take the initiative in our family and our marriage.

This has helped make space for us to spend more quality time together - without kids, TV, or scrolling on our phones. We are back to being best friends with ALL the benefits! No more being roommates, baby!!

Friend, I want the same for you too. If you desire to have quality time with your husband, without the kids shouting “Mom. Mom. Mom.” for the hundredth time today, and you want to turn off, and not feel like you are carrying the weight of the whole family on your shoulders, this podcast is for you!

    36 | UNSEEN BY YOUR HUSBAND? This Will Help You Feel Appreciated and Build Connection in Your Christian Marriage
    Oct 13 2025

    This episode will help you feel seen by your husband. ✨Book your Marriage Connection Coaching Call: https://bit.ly/connectioncoachingcall ✨ Do you sometimes feel like your husband doesn’t get you? You don’t think he sees you, because if he truly did, he would help out more in the house and lighten your load. Right? I get you. I too have struggled with thoughts of “my husband doesn’t understand me.” “He doesn’t know how I feel” “I don’t think he appreciates me.” It really hurts to be married to someone who you love with all your heart, but still feel disconnected from them – like you are both living separate lives under one roof. So today, I want to share some advice on what to do to feel appreciated and build connection in your marriage. My goal with this episode is to encourage you, and to shift your perspective if you are feeling misunderstood in your marriage.

    35 | Resentment Could Be The Reason Intimacy is DEAD in Your Christian Marriage

    I have been having conversations with some women lately and I’ve noticed that resentment is one of the biggest root causes of communication breakdown and a lack of intimacy in their marriages. So if that is you, this episode is for you. We are going to talk about resentment, how it can impact physical, emotional and spiritual intimacy in your marriage, and what to do about it. If you struggle to forgive your husband for the hurt he has caused you, or maybe you can’t seem to forgive yourself for the pain you caused in your marriage, I want you to know there is hope, because we have been saved by The Redeemer, Jesus Christ who takes what is broken and makes it better than it ever was. In this episode, I want to provide not only tactical strategies to start implementing today to get rid of resentment as a Christian wife and to choose forgiveness instead, but I also want this to be an episode where you feel seen and encouraged. I believe this will bless you, so let us get into it.
