This episode delves into a common struggle for Christian wives: maintaining a household while supporting their husband's entrepreneurial dreams.
It explores the challenges of feeling overwhelmed and disconnected and offers practical solutions to create balance and harmony.

Key Points:

• Feeling Overwhelmed: Many Christian wives juggle childcare, housework, and supporting their husband's business ventures. This can lead to feelings of exhaustion, resentment, and disconnection.
• Importance of Self-Care: Taking care of yourself is essential. Remember, "you can't pour from an empty cup."
• Open Communication: Talk openly with your husband about your feelings and needs.
• Shared Responsibilities: Delegate tasks and establish clear expectations for household chores.
• Setting Boundaries: Prioritize quality family time and self-care activities.
• Seeking Support: Lean on God, friends, family, or a support group for strength and encouragement.

Scripture References:

• Proverbs 31:15 (highlights the hardworking nature of the Proverbs 31 woman, but also emphasizes the need for balance)
• Ephesians 5:21 (emphasizes the importance of mutual respect and understanding in marriage)
