Hello everyone, we're Matt and Lisa Jacobson.

And this is Faithful Life podcast, Marriage Weekend Edition,

where every Friday we take just a few minutes to talk about one simple way for you to enjoy a better weekend together.

Thank you. enjoy a better weekend together. Hey everybody, here we are at the front end of the weekend. We hope that you're ready

to go into this weekend with a positive attitude and ready to have an awesome weekend together.

Yes, hello, friends. We're very excited about today's topic. I think you're going to find it

encouraging and exciting about the possibilities. So have you ever been in a situation? We know you have.

Yes. Have you ever been in a situation where you thought, man, I want my spouse to change. I want

my husband to change in this way. I want my wife to change to stop doing this or start doing something,

you wanted to change to happen. There was a way in which you wanted your spouse to grow.

And maybe you even talk to them about it. And nothing's happening. Have you ever just been in that

situation where you felt helpless? Something you really wanted, and it's not happening, and you're feeling

helpless. Yes, I have. Are you asking me? I was hoping. I definitely have. Okay. All right.

All right. Here we go. So I have had many wives ask me if I have ever experienced this.

Oh, good. It's about other. Oh, no. It's still about it. And then I've said,

as a matter of fact, Matt and I have great communication. We have a wonderful relationship,

but it doesn't mean that he always does what I wanted to do. So frustrating. That was one

her one goal when we got married. Just do what I want. It's going to work out well.

Okay.

No, seriously, there was a time, a specific incident that I can remember that it was a few

years back and Matt was doing something that was bothering me.

It was troubling me.
