357: I Felt Disconnected From Him - He A...

Laura Doyle
About this episode

Carolyn felt the distance in her marriage almost from the beginning. Her husband worked long, exhausting hours and came home with little left to give. She managed everything alone in a city far from family. The conversations she tried to have ended in tears and days of silence. She spent nights in turmoil, wondering if the marriage was worth it. The chasm between them only grew wider.

Then a late-night search led her to a different approach, and things began to shift.

Today, Carolyn lives the connection she once only dreamed of. He tells her she is a wonderful wife and mother, giving her the encouragement she had longed for. She feels his warmth when they curl up together at night. Their kids laugh and tease them about their kisses. Carolyn is more in love with her husband than she has ever been.

If the disconnect in your marriage has made you feel more alone than you ever thought possible, Carolyn found her way back, and this episode will show you how.
