Henry and Tanja explore how gratitude heals contempt, restores respect, and retrains families to “see” one another. From marriage breakdowns to parenting hard kids, gratitude becomes a sanctifying practice—naming effort, honoring limits, and celebrating small mercies. The episode ends with a pastoral prayer of healing over listeners. In This Episode Why the first marital failure can be traced to ingratitude Gratitude vs. disdain/contempt (the relationship killer) “I see you”: training kids beyond polite words to heart posture Being grateful for hard gifts—sanctification through what we didn’t want Practical language for spouses and kids that communicates “I see you” Practical Takeaways Replace “thanks” with specific recognition: “When you ______, it spared me ______, and it made me feel ______. Thank you.” Family practice: each person names one small mercy from another family member daily. Repair script for conflict: “I see how my choice affected you: ______. I’m sorry. Next time I will ______. Thank you for your patience while I learn.” Scripture Mentioned Song of Solomon 1:5–6 (“Look not upon me… I am dark, yet lovely”) — being seen and loved Genesis 2:23–24 (one flesh) — gratitude for the other as “the side” we’re missing James 1:19 (quick to hear, slow to speak) — posture that “sees” before speaking About the GuestPastor Henry Nwaneri ministers internationally through preaching, worship, and writing.
