In this episode I'm pulling back the curtain on a struggle every married woman faces: the sting of being corrected. Beginning with a personal story—growing up in a prideful home and a small but revealing moment involving an apple and a spoon—I will set the stage for some honest reflection.

I will also lead you through a compassionate, scripture-rooted journey: where you'll learn to pause and pray, ask for clarity, search the Bible for truth, humbly accept responsibility, and make an intentional plan to change. Each step will transform defensiveness into an opportunity for mutual sanctification and deeper unity.

This practical roadmap will help you receive correction with humility, restore tenderness in your marriage, and walk together toward Christlikeness.

Let's get started.
