About this episode
This episode explores the difference between selfish manipulation and godly influence in marriage.
Is It Manipulation or Is It Kindness? Whether you realize it or not, you're already influencing your spouse. Every day. Through your words. Your attitudes. Your reactions. Your encouragement.

That's what this week's podcast is all about. Many husbands and wives feel guilty when they want change in their marriage. They worry that encouraging their spouse toward growth somehow makes them manipulative. But what if influence itself isn't the problem? What if the real issue is the motive behind it?
