Episode 397 - Speaking Life in Your Marriage with Dave and Ann Wilson
How do our words impact the most important relationship in our lives—our marriage? And how can wives, in particular, learn to speak life into their husbands?
Ann Wilson, a pastor’s wife, was taken aback during a speaking event when her husband, Dave, candidly shared that he didn’t feel like she was his biggest supporter. The admission was painful, but it became a turning point. Determined to make a change, Ann began to pay closer attention to the words she spoke over her husband. As she intentionally used her words to encourage and uplift him, she began to notice a transformation in both their marriage and the way they showed up for each other.
In their latest book, How to Speak Life to Your Husband: When All You Want to Do Is Yell at Him, Ann and Dave explore the transformative power of words in marriage and offer practical tools for building healthier communication patterns.
In this candid conversation, Davey sits down with Ann and Dave to discuss the influence of what we say in relationships, the importance of mindset towards our spouse, and how to navigate challenging seasons in marriage—including struggles with betrayal and sexual addiction.
If you’ve ever felt the sting of destructive words in your marriage, this episode offers hope and guidance on how to use your words to build up—not tear down—the most vital relationship in your life.
“It’s important we don’t use our words as weapons because we can annihilate our spouse and it can be hard to recover from those wounds.”
