In this raw and urgent episode, Ryan and Selena respond directly to a viral clip from Dr. Emerson Eggerichs (Love & Respect) where he calls out wives who “continually mock their husbands,” put them down mentally, and secretly make fun of their opinions.

If you’ve ever caught yourself thinking, “He’s just not the man I thought I married” … this episode is for you.

We dive deep into:

The devastating long-term fruit of a disrespectful speech and a critical spirit (Prov 21:19, Prov 27:15)
Why even “small” condescending comments, eye-rolls, and corrections are spiritual poison
Genesis 1–2 and Ephesians 5:22–33 – God’s original design for husbands to WORK and wives to RESPECT
The moment a wife stops seeing her husband “in his element,” her view of him becomes dangerously incomplete
The 4 C’s every wife must confront: What are you Consuming? Who are you Consulting? Who are you Complaining to? It’s time to CUT it out.
The 200-year plan: How today’s sarcasm and discontent become tomorrow’s bitterness, affairs, or divorce
Practical steps to break the cycle: Repent to God → Repent to your husband → Replace criticism with gratitude → Renew your mind daily (Romans 12:2)

Husbands: this isn’t permission to be passive. A wife’s biblical respect flows most naturally when her husband loves her as Christ loves the church. We talk about that too.

Whether you’re the wife struggling with disrespect or the husband feeling crushed under constant criticism—this episode will challenge and encourage you toward the fierce, gospel-centered marriage you both long for.

Scriptures covered: Genesis 1–2, Ephesians 5:22–33, Proverbs 21:19, Proverbs 27:15–16, Romans 12:1–2
