The Prayerful Wife | Godly Marriage Advice for Christians Married to Unbelievers, Biblical Womanhood, Proverbs 31 Woman
Do you long for your husband’s heart to be turned toward Christ? Do you want to build a Christ-centred, godly marriage that honours God even if your husband is an unbeliever or a new believer? Are you struggling to trust his leadership, because he is not yet a believer? Maybe you’re walking through the struggles of feeling misaligned in your values, or you’re unsure of how to trust your husband’s leadership because he doesn’t share your faith. Hey sis, I’m Jennifer Fanning. A daughter of the King, a prayerful wife and mum. I’ve been where you are—praying for my husband’s faith, feeling frustrated, and wondering if things would ever change. Having the desire to build a godly marriage but not knowing how. It wasn’t until the Holy Spirit intervened and began working on my heart, that I realised God can use me (and you) to build a marriage that honours Him even if your husband is an unbeliever or a new believer. God can transform your marriage, and He can use you to draw your husband closer to Him, because it is God’s will for every marriage to bring glory and honour to Him. In this podcast, I’ll be sharing practical, Christ-centred solutions to help you navigate the challenges of being married to an unbeliever or a new believer. You’ll learn how to build a Biblical marriage that honours God, how to pray for your husband using Scripture and how to communicate and resolve conflict in your marriage with patience, love, and wisdom, all while growing stronger in your walk with God. If you’re ready to embrace your calling as a prayerful wife, grow stronger in your faith, communicate with love and see God move in your marriage, this podcast is for you. Grab your Bible, notebook, and pen - and let’s dive in. I’m so glad you’re here.

In today's episode of The Prayerful Wife Podcast, we’re diving deep into the difference between worldly femininity and biblical femininity. What does culture get wrong about being a woman? How can we, as Christian wives, embrace God’s design for femininity—especially in marriages where our husbands may not share our faith?
Join me as we break down: ✅ The definition of worldly femininity and why it’s self-focused (2 Timothy 3:1-5) ✅ The beauty of biblical femininity and God’s calling for women (1 Peter 3:3-4, Genesis 2:18) ✅ What culture misunderstands about submission, beauty, and a woman’s role (Ephesians 5:22-24) ✅ Encouragement for wives married to unbelieving husbands (1 Peter 3:1-2)
If you’ve ever struggled with feeling torn between society’s expectations and God’s plan for you, this episode is for you! 🎙️
