Ryan and Selena Frederick connect practical relationship behaviors to a spiritual framework, describing admiration as respect, encouragement, appreciation, and love “in one act.” The conversation also uses Ryan’s heart-surgery story and the image of medical “wires” as a metaphor for direct emotional impact—either restoring hope in despair or causing harm through destructive speech.

Those wires from whatever they would connect it to my heart are exactly the power a wife has in her husband's life. You have the direct lines to my heart.  \nSelena: It's focusing on what's important to us and to you, what's more on your plate, how does that make you feel?  \nRyan: A wife admiring her husband, you accomplish four very important things. Your  \nhusband will feel respected, your husband will feel encouraged, your husband will feel appreciated, and your husband will feel loved in one act of admiration.  \nSelena: An admiring wife honors God. As a wife should be one of my biggest desires is to honor my Lord and Savior.  \nRyan: When a wife appreciates her husband, admires her husband, it shows him that  \nshe appreciates his worth. She recognizes his worth.  \nSelena: Your love to me, your devotion to me means so much more. There's no reason, there's no feeling, there's no lack for me to go seek it out elsewhere or to be vulnerable to it.  \nRyan: Why does that dynamic of an admiring wife matter so much?  \n[00:00:59] \u003Cmusic>  \nRyan: So if you don't know our story, early on in our marriage, we got married during  \ncollege. We finished college, and then Selena promptly, I'd say providentially, found a job in Zurich, Switzerland, where Selena would be a groom on an amateur horse-riding facility there, hunter-jumpers, right?  \nSelena: Yeah, equestrian horse facility.  \nRyan: And you're also an au pair for a five-year-old Swiss girl.  \nSelena: Swiss German girl.  \nRyan: And I was like a tag-along hire to do construction, miscellaneous, like mucking  \nthe stalls, piling the manure.  \nSelena: Literally.  \nRyan: Literally, like 20 feet high. Anyway, as part of that, I don't get into the whole  \nstory, I got very, very sick. I was actually sick when we got there. Had a congenital heart defect. I had bacterial endocarditis. I had to have open heart surgery. Well, yeah, long story short, if you want to hear that story in great detail, and the analog that it created for us in this ministry, go to [fiercemarriagebook.com](fiercemarriagebook.com), just as a quick plug. You can buy the book called Fierce Marriage, tell that story in detail.  \nBut after having heart surgery, I had four weeks as an inpatient in Zurich, and it was excruciating. It was very painful. I mean, anybody who's had heart surgery will tell you recovery is rough.  \nSelena: And you were in your 20s, and that was rough.  \nRyan: Yeah, I can imagine doing it as an older guy, like lots of heart surgery patients.  \nAnyway, as part of that, they had these wires they put through my stomach, I have scars on my stomach. And it goes through the stomach up between the sternum and the skin, whatever this is, the ribs, and then up over the clavicle, and then they were touching parts of my heart, and they were tied off, kind of like these leads. Remember that? They were tied off with sutures, just in case.  \nSelena: It seemed so barbaric.  \nRyan: It seemed barbaric. It was pretty barbaric. Anyway, these leads were there  \nbecause if something happened and my heart stopped beating, they would have an immediate access to basically reboot it. I share all of that just to share those wires from whatever they would connect it to, to my heart, are exactly the power a wife has in her husband's life.  \nYou have the direct lines to my heart. The things that you say as a wife can either bring me to life in a moment of despair or even near death, you know, existentially speaking, or you could just really, you know, use those wires tomy disadvantage and frankly, fry my heart.  \nSo we're gonna talk about the power of an admiring wife today, and what exactly is happening if a wife is choosing to admire her husband, a","cbCaic2UziiYPnTI","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaic2UziiYPnTI","pdf",300230,21,"English","# THE POWER OF AN ADMIRING WIFE\n## How admiration changes a husband’s heart\n## Admiration as honoring God\n## The “wires” metaphor and personal story\n## Podcast intro and mission","[{\"question\":\"What does Ryan say a wife accomplishes through admiring her husband?\",\"answer\":\"He says admiration creates respect, encouragement, appreciation, and love through a single act.\"},{\"question\":\"How does Selena connect an admiring wife to faith?\",\"answer\":\"Selena emphasizes that an admiring wife honors God and reflects a desire to honor her Lord and Savior.\"},{\"question\":\"What metaphor does the episode use to explain the wife’s influence?\",\"answer\":\"Ryan compares medical “wires” that can reboot his heart to the direct emotional effect a wife’s words can have—restoring life in despair or causing harm.\"}]","THE POWER OF AN ADMIRING WIFE - Episode 416 - podcast discussion | PDF",32]
