WHEN CHRONIC ILLNESS ROCKS A MARRIAGE

In today’s show, Keith shares the difficulties of walking through a chronic illness with a spouse.

Friend, Keith and I could write a book titled, “What Not to do When Diagnosed with a Chronic Illness.” To say we did everything wrong, is an understatement.

Keith shares his anger and how even when he knew I couldn’t control the migraines, he still harbored a lot of resentment.

His biggest source of stress was regarding our finances. He walked around in a constant state of worry over how we’d pay our bills.

So after I had kept our bleak financial situation from him, we were forced to come together and make some big cuts in our budget which completely turned the tables for us.

Keith and I share when we’d let each other down and how although we wanted the same thing, we were walking on two very different paths to get there.

It’s been a long, difficult road for us, but we can look back and see how God brought us through it. We’ve learned that when we are obedient to God’s will for us, He will show up and redeem, renew and restore.

So grab your favorite beverage, that basket of clothes that needs folding, or turn up the volume on your morning commute and listen to this week’s episode, When Chronic Illness Rocks a Marriage.

Why Do I Keep Starting Over With God?

October 16, 2026

Have you ever found yourself saying, “I’ll start again with God next week.”

Maybe you used to start your mornings with prayer, but lately your Bible has stayed closed and you feel like you’re constantly trying to catch up with God.

Maybe life has started demanding more than usual.

The kids need to be picked up, dinner still needs to be made and the laundry pile is growing faster than you can fold it. And by the time you finally sit down at the end of the day, you’re too exhausted to even say a prayer.

At first, you tell yourself you’ll get back to it tomorrow — but tomorrow comes and goes. Then a few more days pass. Before long, missing one day turns into three, then three days turn into a week.

And that’s when the guilt starts creeping in. Before you know it, you’re thinking to yourself, “I’ve failed again.”

Or maybe it’s been longer than a week. Maybe it’s been months — even years — since you really felt close to God, and you’re wondering if starting over is even possible at this point.

Either way, the question underneath is the same. Why do I keep ending up here?

How to Pray for Your Husband When You Don’t Know What to Say

October 9, 2026

You noticed it at dinner.

Your husband was quieter than usual, and when you asked how work went, he said, “Fine.” But you’ve been married long enough to know when fine doesn’t really mean fine.

You knew something was weighing on him — something just felt off.

Later that night, lying beside him in the dark, you wished you knew how to help. So you did the one thing you knew you could do — you prayed, “Lord, help him.”

It was honest and exactly what you wanted God to do. But almost as soon as you said it, you started wondering if you should have said more.

Is that really enough? Shouldn’t I know how to pray for my own husband?

Maybe you’ve joined the 31-day prayer challenges for wives, or you started the prayer book that’s still sitting on your nightstand with a bookmark somewhere around chapter three. You’ve heard other women pray confidently for their husbands, covering everything from his work and health to your husband’s relationships, protection, and spiritual life.

Meanwhile, you’re struggling just to put one sentence together.

And when you love someone this much, it’s easy for that struggle to start feeling like more than simply not knowing what to say. You begin wondering if you’re doing this “right” or whether your prayers for him are making any difference at all.

But sometimes the reason we don’t know what to say isn’t because we have nothing to pray about. It’s because we’ve put so much pressure on ourselves to say the right thing that an honest prayer no longer feels like enough.

So before we talk about what to pray for your husband, I want to take some of that pressure off.

Because learning how to pray for your husband doesn’t begin with finding more powerful words. It begins with understanding what God actually asks of us when we come to Him in prayer.
