It feels really bad when your husband doesn't care about your needs, even when you tell him over and over. But what if it's not that he doesn't care but that you haven't been well trained on how to communicate your needs in your relationship, just like I wasn't?

It's terrible to feel like you can't trust the man you married, whether you don't trust him to be faithful, to take care of the kids, or to be responsible with money. It just feels bad. You don't feel heard because if he cared, he would listen to your concerns and try to support you by doing the things you want him to do so that you could trust him. That's depressing because if you can't get him to straighten up, it's pretty hopeless that you'd ever be able to trust him, especially if he keeps letting you down and reinforcing that he doesn't deserve your trust. How's that ever going to improve? On today's episode of The Empowered Wife Podcast, we're talking about what to do if you don't trust your husband. My guest Kelsie didn't trust her husband, and their arguments sometimes lasted for weeks. She worried they were just one argument from divorce, something she didn't want to go through a third time. But when she did two specific things differently on the verge of an argument, everything changed. Today she is so grateful to be married to an honorable and faithful man that she can't stop smiling.

I was the perfect wife. Right up until I actually got married. That's when it all went kablooey. I worked so hard as a wife that I gave myself at least a nine out of ten. But I wasn't scoring so high on the wife scale with John. That's because I was actually an overbearing, prickly porcupine wife who thought she knew better than him about everything. My criteria of what made me good wife material and his criteria were not the same. At all. On today's episode of The Empowered Wife Podcast we're talking about how to actually be a good wife.

There's no worse feeling than discovering your worst fear has come true and that the man you promised to love, honor and cherish has done the unspeakable. It's crushing. If most people knew what he did, they would tell you "He doesn't deserve you." Which feels validating because what he did was low and wrong, and you don't deserve that. But no one else can decide for you what's best for you. Women whose husbands have betrayed them keep showing up on our campus and blowing my mind by fixing their marriages. And I don't mean just keeping them together, mind you, but really making their marriages amazing and shiny again, sometimes shinier than they'd ever been!
