68. How to Restore Your Marriage Through Prayer and Be Rooted in Respect with Heidi Rubio

Is today’s culture feeding women and wives a lie? We are
bombarded daily with messages of female empowerment, but what
does God say about His desire for our life and marriage? Culture
says take care of yourself and be independent. God says surrender
and deny yourself. Pride and lack of surrender can cause battles
God never intended us to fight. Today on our Christian
Business Podcast, I am speaking with guest Heidi Rubio
about how God transformed and restored her marriage through the
power of prayer! If you are a wife or want to be a wife someday,
and you desire to learn what it's like to have a marriage that's
rooted in a Godly respect, this episode is for you!
Surrender and seek holiness

We can turn everyday life into an opportunity to live like Christ
by understanding that marriage isn't here to make us happy, it’s
here to make us Holy. Let's break the toxic cycle we were raised
with and let the Holy Spirit show us how our marriage is supposed
to look. It isn't up to us to make a spouse change but we can
look inward, surrendering to God. When we truly love like Christ
loves we are selfless, we keep no record of being wronged.
Warring in Prayer

Our battle is not against flesh and blood. Prayer breaks chains
and is our best weapon against spiritual warfare. How we act and
react can build things up or tear them down. With the Holy
Spirit’s help, we can see change begin to take place by using
words that are helpful, causing encouragement to those who hear!
Become a prayer warrior for your spouse because bold prayers move
mountains.
Say No to Toxic Culture and Yes to our God Given
Role

The world is defining what being a woman means. Society praises
strong and independent women. Today’s culture says fight for
equality when God says we are to be equally yoked with our
husbands while fulfilling our role as wives. Men want our love,
our respect, and to be needed by us, this is God’s design. Do we
want to serve God or follow the world? God’s word says we should
not look like the world. True strength is submitting to the Lord
and going against the culture.
Grace, Gratitude and Giving it to God

We often put expectations on a person because we want them to
meet our needs, when true fulfillment only comes from the Lord.
We must give grace to others the way God gives us grace every
day. Gratitude changes our hearts and our entire perspective. It
may not be easy, but God meets us where we are. Pray for help and
expect Him to show up and guide you.
