When you discover that your husband watches porn, it can feel really bad, disrespectful even. Here you're his only partner in the bedroom, but he's watching other women do nasty things on his phone. It's so disappointing, and so revolting. It can also make you feel pretty unspecial knowing that your husband watches an endless parade of strange women on the Internet. You wonder if he's even a decent, moral person. Maybe he's addicted. And if he's watching porn but not having physical intimacy with you, then it can feel like porn is stealing something precious from you. Maybe you've told him to stop, only to find he does it in secret. That might strike terror into your heart. On today's episode of The Empowered Wife Podcast, we're talking about why he watches porn. Plus, my guest Erin was incredibly lonely but couldn't get her husband's time, attention or consideration. She lost all respect for him. Then she made some changes, and today he kisses her before leaving the house, tells her he loves her and wrote her a special card for their anniversary. She's going to tell us how she did it so you can do it too. Download the FREE Adored Wife Roadmap now and start transforming your relationship today!

When there's no passion in your marriage, it's a huge disappointment because that's a big part of the allure of marriage. You vowed to love in sickness and in health partly because you felt so irresistible when he made bedroom eyes or swept you into his arms and told you how beautiful you are. But when that stopped, it made you wonder if you were not attractive anymore, which feels terrible! Or maybe you thought that this is just what marriage is like—it starts out exciting then the passion just evaporates. You were hoping yours would be different but it's not, which is so depressing. Fortunately, those are very likely NOT the reasons there's no passion in your marriage, based on my experience helping thousands of women skyrocket the passion in their marriages. On today's episode of The Empowered Wife Podcast, we're talking about the top 3 reasons there's no passion in your marriage. Plus, my guest Ameerah felt unwanted and stuck in her marriage.

I first taught the Six Intimacy Skills™ to women in my living room. When there were too many of us to fit in the room, I started offering workshops at hotel meeting rooms, community centers, conference centers, churches, and a mosque a few times, across the U.S. Women often traveled a long way just to be at these in-person events. I taught lots of workshops, but there were always more women who wanted to come and I realized I couldn't do it all myself. I needed to train coaches to teach those workshops too. Today there are well over 100 coaches who lead Empowered Wife Workshops all over the world, both online and in person. So they are spreading that magic a lot faster and farther than I ever could. On today's episode of The Empowered Wife Podcast, we're talking about The Empowered Wife Workshop. Plus, my guest Lainy was co-living with her husband, who slept on the couch in the basement while she focused on their kids. But when he confessed he had made a "mistake," her blood ran cold. Then she made a mind-blowing discovery, and today her marriage feels light and her kids have their dad back. She's going to tell us what she did so you can do it too.

Physical abuse is one of the scariest things you can experience. If you're not safe with your own husband, then when are you ever safe? Everyone who knows you and loves you may get scared too and say you have to get out of that relationship. Then it seems pretty hopeless and even foolish to try to fix a marriage after there's been hitting, kicking, shaking or choking. That's what I thought too. But I got schooled! I got schooled by women who have lived through domestic violence and fixed their relationships. Women who had restraining orders against their husbands, women who had to go to the hospital for injuries after fighting with their husbands. They didn't want to be victims or be divorced, and somehow they found a way to fix their marriages and make them safe. On today's episode of The Empowered Wife Podcast, we're talking about whether a relationship can be saved after domestic violence. My guest Queenie was so tired of her husband constantly interrupting, correcting and criticizing her. Then a huge fight turned physical, so she took the baby and left. But she decided to do some experiments, and today they are back together and she says her marriage is unbelievably amazing. She's going to tell us what she did so you can do it too.

Last week my guest Suzette mentioned she had come across my blog on what your husband really wants for Valentine's Day and experimented with those suggestions and they worked! I asked her to go into detail about what it said, and neither of us could remember. Since it's the week before Valentine's Day, I got inspired to share this here again because it is probably not what you think. Your husband doesn't want flowers or chocolates for Valentine's Day. Red socks or silk boxers or even a six-pack of his favorite beer won't be as romantic to him as getting what he really wants from you. And I don't mean sex, although he likely wants that too. But there are three things he wants even more. Giving them to him will make February 14th loving and dreamy for you both. On today's episode of The Empowered Wife Podcast, you'll learn the astonishing truth about what he really wants for Valentine's Day. Plus, my guest Jodie was tired of the constant arguing. She and her husband were downright mean to each other at times, which she knew was affecting their children. But she got her hands on a book that changed her outlook on their issues, and today she says she feels renewed and like she and her husband are in love again. She's going to tell us how she did it so you can do it too. Download the FREE Adored Wife Roadmap now and start transforming your relationship today!
