EP. 143 | How to Stop Controlling or Mothering Your Husband

Are you a Christian wife who finds herself micromanaging, reminding, or correcting your husband—and wondering, "Am I mothering him?”

In this powerful Q&A episode of *Marriage Mania*, we respond to a real question from one of our listeners:  
**“How do I stop controlling or mothering my husband and start encouraging him to lead?”**

This honest and practical conversation explores:
- What Scripture says about a wife’s role (Genesis 3:16, Proverbs 15:1)
- How good intentions can become controlling patterns
- The difference between helping and over-helping
- Why nagging doesn’t lead to leadership—but respect does
- How to trust God’s design for spiritual leadership in marriage

If you’ve ever struggled with releasing control and letting your husband lead, this episode will challenge, equip, and encourage you.
