242: My Husband Complains Too Much: 2 Wa...

Laura Doyle
About this episode

It's annoying when your husband complains. It sucks the fun out of everything, makes you feel unappreciated, and can definitely lead to resentment (if you're a mere mortal woman like me). What I'm going to share with you is going to sound counterintuitive. What I'll invite you to try when your husband complains too much is not a regular power that most women have. No. These are superpowers that some wives have developed for strengthening their families. You can too. On today's episode of The Empowered Wife Podcast, I'm talking about what to do when your husband complains too much. I'll share 2 ways to change that.

Also, my guest Mary felt very alone and scared that her husband would leave or cheat on her, especially when he brought up divorce during a fight! She decided to experiment with the 6 Intimacy Skills, but her husband was skeptical and sometimes it backfired completely. Then he started flirting and seeking her out more, and now the passion has skyrocketed. She's going to tell us how she did it so you can do it too.
