In this episode, Tilly and Abigail talk about ways that a wife can improve her marriage. A wife has immense power in the Spirit to change the atmosphere of her marriage. But how? How specific should we be in asking for what we want? Should we offer input in the form of "helpful" questions? What is the role of thanks and gratitude in the atmosphere of a marriage? What is the role of the marriage bed? What words can we use to let our husbands know we believe he is capable of making decisions and getting things done? Are you ready to try the "three thanks a day" challenge?

You are Worthy | (S5 E7)
In this episode, Tilly and Abigail talk about self-worth and women. When people repeat the message "you are worthy" to women, citing this as the reason why Christ came and died for them, what are they trying to do?
