168: What to Give Him for Valentine's D...

Laura Doyle
About this episode

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.
