356: My Husband Won Every Argument - Now...

Laura Doyle
About this episode

Lynne had been through three divorces before a book changed her life and led her to Phil. He was sweet, sentimental, and everything she had hoped for. But marriage brought arguments she could never win and a loneliness she could not name. She stuffed her feelings down for months at a time until they came out in one explosive burst. Sixteen years in, she lay awake one night and accepted the thought that she would never feel adored again.

Then she found her way back to a book she had once put aside, and this time, she went all in.

Today Lynne feels the sweetness she had given up on. Phil kisses her on the forehead, opens doors, and pulls out chairs. He even catches her off guard with tenderness she couldn't even dream of. And the man who used to win every argument now comes back on his own to apologize. She is adored, and she knows it.

If you have ever given up on feeling cherished and resigned yourself to the life you have now, Lynne did too… until she decided to try one more time.
