About Christian Wife, Addicted Husband

The Christian Wife, Addicted Husband podcast is a faith based podcast for Christian wives who feel exhausted, heartbroken, and alone because of their husband’s drinking, broken promises, manipulation, and deception. If you’re married to a problem drinker, this podcast will help you understand addiction, family systems, boundaries, and biblical healing principles so you can create a peaceful, stable home for yourself and your children.

Here you’ll learn how to respond in healthy, faith grounded ways that guard your heart, strengthen your family, and reduce chaos in your home. As you begin running your household on healing principles like boundary setting, truth telling, emotional sobriety, and trust building, you’ll feel more empowered and protected, and you’ll increase the likelihood of positive change in him. Host Jacquie shares practical tools, biblical encouragement, and personal stories of her own family’s recovery and transformation so you can break generational patterns of addiction and dysfunction in your family. Healing a family can begin with one courageous person. Protect your children and reclaim your peace whether he changes or not. Learn more at True-Pathways.com.
