After 26 years of marriage, I’ve learned more than I could have ever imagined when I said “I do.” From the early newlywed years to raising a big family, juggling careers, and navigating the many highs and lows of life, I’ve picked up a few things that have shaped me—not just as a wife, but as a woman, partner, and friend.
In our latest episode of A Purpose Driven Marriage Podcast, I’m sharing 26 real marriage tips I’d give to any wife who wants to build a thriving, lasting marriage. Some of these are lessons I learned the hard way, others are things I discovered through growth, grace, and a whole lot of prayer (and laughter!).
These tips aren’t just “nice ideas”—they’re rooted in real experiences. I hope they encourage you, challenge you, and remind you that strong, purpose-driven marriages are worth fighting for.

💬 What This Episode Is Really About
This episode is for the wife who:
- Wants more connection and intimacy in her marriage
- Feels stuck in the busyness of life and longs to reconnect with her spouse
- Needs practical, encouraging reminders that her marriage can grow stronger—no matter what season she’s in
I cover everything from how to fight fair and protect your marriage from outside distractions…
To the importance of date nights, shared dreams, healthy communication, and even…
💡 Why your husband needs to feel desired too (yes, that matters more than you think!).
💡 Here’s a Sneak Peek at a Few of My Favorite Marriage Tips:
🏗️ 1. Agree on a Foundation That Never Shifts
Whether it’s your faith, your vows, or something else—build your marriage on something unchanging and solid. Kids grow up. Life changes. But your foundation must remain steady.
😴 2. Sometimes, the Best Thing You Can Do Is Call a Timeout
You don’t have to solve every argument before bed. A good night’s sleep can bring a new perspective in the morning.
💋 3. The Sex Can Be Amazing—But Only If You Talk About It
Don’t believe the myth that intimacy declines with time. With good communication, trust, and a little fun, physical connection can actually get better over the years.
🛏️ 4. Protect Your Bedroom Space
Keep your bed a sacred space for just the two of you. (No kids, no piles of laundry!)
💯 5. Marriage Is Not 50/50—It’s 100/100
Stop keeping score. The healthiest marriages are built on both spouses giving their all, even when the other falls short.
🧠 6. What You Believe About Your Spouse Becomes Your Reality
Focus on the good. Speak life. Look for the best. You’ll be amazed at how your mindset can transform your marriage.
❤️ My Hope for You
I’m not here to pretend we have a perfect marriage (spoiler alert: there’s no such thing!). But we have a marriage rooted in commitment, faith, friendship, and continual growth.
My prayer is that this episode inspires you to keep showing up for your marriage—and reminds you that you’re not alone on the journey.
