  • 231: How to Deal With Unmet Needs in a Relationship: 2 Secrets You Rarely Hear

    231: How to Deal With Unmet Needs in a Relationship: 2 Secrets You Rarely Hear
    Apr 23 2024

    When I got married, I thought my husband would support me, kiss away my tears, listen to my problems, desire me, snuggle with me, and do everything he could toward our common goals. And he did—for a while. When he became distant, I felt bamboozled and just knew that something was wrong with him. I thought I would have to end it and find someone who COULD meet my needs, which was scary and dreadful. The longer we struggled and went to marriage counseling, the more hopeless I felt. I was working hard on the relationship, but I was doing all the wrong things. Turns out, I just needed to learn a few skills that contribute to a playful, passionate relationship where all my needs and desires are met because he naturally wants to make me happy, not because I’m begging him to meet my needs (yuck!). On today’s episode of The Empowered Wife Podcast, we’re talking about how to deal with unmet needs in a relationship.

    And, my guest Olivia was still a newlywed when her husband moved out suddenly, wouldn’t say why and wouldn’t come back. Then Olivia discovered the Intimacy Skills and dove right in. Today, her marriage is better than she ever thought it could be, even better than when they were dating. She’s going to tell us how she did it so you can do it too.

    230: Are Compliments Important in a Relationship? 3 Ways to Get More!
    Apr 16 2024

    If you're anything like me, you love hearing your man say you're beautiful and the best wife or you did a great job. If you’re not hearing those things, it’s only natural to crave some compliments. That’s just human. We all need to be seen, heard and understood, and compliments are part of that. Going without them is dreary and unsustainable, like trying to hold your breath. So on today’s episode of The Empowered Wife Podcast, we’re talking about why compliments are important in a relationship—and 3 ways to get more!

    Also, my guest Rebecca felt that her husband was angry and emotionally unfaithful. But when she experimented with the 6 Intimacy Skills, she immediately got a positive response. Today, not only is her marriage romantic and adventurous, every relationship in her life has gotten better. She’s going to tell us how she did it so you can do it too.

  • 229: My Husband Would Rather Drink Too Much Than Be With Me: The 3-Step Cure

    229: My Husband Would Rather Drink Too Much Than Be With Me: The 3-Step Cure
    Apr 9 2024

    When you see your husband drinking too much, it’s very scary because you can’t help but wonder: Is this an addiction? Is he an alcoholic? If so, everybody knows that would come with a lifetime of suffering. Even if you’re not worried about that, just seeing him choose to get wasted instead of wanting to be with you hurts a lot. I remember how confused and hurt I was when I realized my husband would rather do a lot of things that seemed like a waste than spend time with me. I felt so unlovable and undesired, which was painful because I really wanted to feel loved and desired. So on today’s episode of The Empowered Wife Podcast, we’re talking about the 3-step cure if your husband would rather drink too much than be with you.

    Plus, my guest Jessica was living with a scary level of hostility and violence in her marriage. But she found there was something she could do about it, and she did it. Today she feels loved, cherished, and adored, and her marriage is free from domestic violence. She’s married to the same man. She’s going to tell us what she did so you can do it too.

Samuel story

what a great insight into a man's perspective. As a practicioner of Laura's skills for few years now I can relate to what Samuel was expressing. Some of the things he was describing has totally reminded me of my own husband's reactions when I just started practicing and even now sometimes. I'm sure it wasn't easy for him to express all his frustrations and doubts in his marriage but listening to his honesty I have to thank him for being so accountable. Thank you and I hope he finds that community that shares the same values about marriage. thank you

Game changer!

Thanks to implementing some of these ideas, my husband and I have never had an argument in our entire marriage. NEVER

I found this book as a newlywed and tried it out. I know my marriage is 10x better because of these ideas. I think it's easier to implement these ideas at the beginning of a marriage than after it's already in the ditch because these require a depth of charity and restraint.

I am very thankful to have found this really life changing information.

Dangerously bad advice if you’re married to a bad guy

Her book prefaces this, but it’s not mentioned in the podcast. I followed the podcast advice, and my con artist husband caused our mortgage and daycare payments to bounce buying hotel stays and ski trips for his girlfriend.
