Imagine you could wave a magic wand to make your marriage the way you want it to be. How would it be different? Maybe your husband would do a lot more chores or be more attentive and affectionate, seeking your company and kissing you whenever he got the chance. He wants to be all of that for you so he can make you happy. All men want to succeed–especially with their wives. So what's stopping him? It could be, and often is, that he's misunderstood. Maybe he's trying to express his love, but you're hearing a complaint. Maybe he's trying to protect you, but you hear control or criticism. Maybe he wants to make you happy, but he's afraid he's not succeeding. On today's episode of The Empowered Wife Podcast, we're talking about two two ways to hear his heart message. My guest Hannah's husband broke her heart when he said he wasn't in love with her or attracted to her anymore and wanted to sleep with someone else. They had huge blow-ups daily. But Hannah took action that has changed everything. Today her husband is affectionate, and she says their sex life is amazing. He even said he was in love with her again and that he was so happy with her. She's going to describe exactly what she did so you can do it too.

When you live with someone who loses his cool, it's very scary and draining. It seems logical to try to minimize those blow-ups however you can. You try to keep the kids quiet or keep quiet yourself or just agree with him or remove yourself when you feel the tension rise. It's exhausting to always be thinking about how to keep the drama from happening. Even worse, it doesn't always work, which makes the whole thing even more terrifying and tiring. When your best efforts to keep him calm by sucking it up don't stop him from blowing up, it's the worst! On today's episode of The Empowered Wife Podcast, we're talking about how to stop walking on eggshells when he yells. Then, Master Coach Kathy Murray interviews a student who was lonely and sad that her husband didn't love her or want to spend time with her, but she didn't know why. Then she made some changes, and now he seeks out her company, conversation, and her hand for holding. He told her, "This is the best thing you could have done for us." What exactly did she do? She's going to share the specific steps she took so you can take them too, including joining the FREE Adored Wife Challenge, which starts on January 10, 2022.

Wouldn't it be a wonderful world if saying "We need to talk" made him gaze into your eyes and describe all the ways he's so in love with you? Or if telling him he needs to be more affectionate and attentive made him turn off the TV and gallantly sweep you off to the bedroom? Unfortunately, calling him out doesn't work.

Fortunately, there is plenty you can do to inspire him to be more romantic without saying a word about what he's NOT doing. On today's episode of The Empowered Wife Podcast we're talking about 4 ways to get the romance back.

I'll share what to do when your husband puts his friends first so that you can become irresistible and get the attention you deserve.

Today, she says they have so much more fun together and are so much more relaxed. She's going to describe the steps she took so you can copy them.

On today's episode of The Empowered Wife Podcast, I'm sharing insights from the husband of a Ridiculously Happy Wife. My guest, Len, is not a student or a book reader but rather the husband of a recently certified coach.

Imagine that you're a husband who can't seem to make your wife happy, even though you've tried and tried. Then, out of nowhere, your wife starts saying things that she never has before, even though you've been married a long time. What goes through your head? How do you react? Len is going to describe his side of the journey when that happened at his house. I was nervous to meet Len because I knew I'd want to ask him some deeply personal questions, and I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to do that when you first meet someone. But Len was very open, generous and willing to share deeply about his marriage, and I have to admit, I learned a lot! I especially loved hearing his reaction when his wife started showing up differently, his thoughts about making her happy, and the transformation that he sees in his family. Now imagine being his wife, who invited him on the show on my behalf to be a guest and talk openly about their marriage on a podcast that's downloaded by tens of thousands of listeners!
