How to Speak Life to Your Husband

When All You Want to Do Is Yell at Him

De: Ann Wilson, Dave Wilson

Narrado por: Ann Wilson, Dave Wilson

Discover the marriage you've always hoped for. With practical tools to help you communicate more effectively, you'll learn to speak the language of love and grace that will encourage and strengthen your husband at every turn.

Ann Wilson spent more than a decade longing for a better marriage and for her husband to be more attentive, more involved, more helpful, and just all-around better. And every chance she got, she told him so. Where she thought she was being helpful, she was instead badgering him with constant critiques until all he heard was, "Boo! Boo!" when they were together. It almost broke their marriage. But Ann discovered the power that God has given wives.

No matter how long you've been married, you don't need to spend another minute hoping and wishing for things to be different. They can! And the power is in your hands.

In this motivating, honest new book, Ann--marriage coach and bestselling author with her husband, Dave--shares how she breathed new life into her marriage by stewarding one of the most powerful gifts believers inherit from the Creator: encouragement. God has given wives a superpower to influence their husbands and homes, and you can use that power to build up and encourage your man to be a better husband, father, and man of God while still speaking truth to him. Relatable, encouraging, biblical, and funny, Ann shares stories from her own life, as well as valuable insights from Scripture, to help you:

• Address the ways you process and justify your communication patterns
• Seek spiritual and relational (re)alignment with both your husband and God
• Learn to exercise self-control and demonstrate radical grace in conversations with your husband
• Begin to cheer more than boo--in a way that isn't put on, fake, or inauthentic
• Learn to speak truth in a way your husband can really hear you
• And, ultimately, cultivate a grace-based marriage that thrives

Real people in real relationships have real problems, but with God's help, you can heal and sustain your marriage for a lifetime.

Honesty and vulnerability

I loved that she used real life examples. She was vulnerable, honest and genuine about sharing the truth

Faith in Marriage

I loved the author’s vulnerability, and hearing both perspectives and voices of her and her husband. Such amazing gospel-centered advice!

Amazing!

Listening to Ann share her experiences and advice has been so encouraging. I listened to this book during a difficult moment and found so much of Ann’s knowledge helpful. Her husband’s review at the end of each chapter is refreshing as well, giving a man’s insight and interpretations. I’m so thankful for this book and their teachings.

Excellent book!

Wish I had heard this book 39 years ago when I first got married. This book has blessed me!

Think, better yet, pray before you speak

I enjoyed the stories and thoughtful advice to pause, think and pray before you speak to your husband. The importance of speaking life into my husband is much more valuable rather than boo-ing him.
