Ep 302302: How To Save Marriage On The Brink Of Divorce

No matter how much Kate did to fix her marriage, it was never enough. Her husband kept calling her "selfish," so she gave more—got a master's degree with an infant on her lap, took a second job, and made sure he had nothing to do around the house. But the fights kept getting worse. After one midnight screaming match that woke the children, her husband said something that shook her. Kate started Googling divorce attorneys, but instead found a book that changed everything. Now her husband takes her out on dates twice a week, built her a dream office in two days, and sends her love songs about his "hot wife." She went from doing everything to doing so much less—and getting so much more. If you're exhausted from trying to make your relationship work, Kate's story will show you there's another way.

Ep 301301: How Do You Respect a Husband You Don't Trust?

Angie's husband came to America not speaking English, so of course she had to help him with everything—navigating websites, polishing his resume, even taking pictures of groceries so he wouldn't buy the wrong thing. But working 80 hours a week as a medical resident while mothering her husband crushed any attraction she once felt for him. When a therapist suggested she may have married the wrong guy, Angie spent months in agony on the fence, seriously considering divorce. Then she discovered there was another way. Today, that same "incapable" husband works in tech support, handles all their finances, and does more childcare than she does. Angie went from wanting to leave to feeling so grateful it moves her to tears. If you're convinced your husband just isn't capable and you can't see how the skills could possibly apply to your situation, Angie's transformation will show you exactly how to go from resentment to respect.

Ep 268268: 4 Self Care Ideas All Women Need

Saturday morning, I was working on my marriage while I was on the beach playing volleyball with my buddies Kevin, Rana, and Scott. And nope, neither of those guys is my husband—he was at home bingeing Viking shows. It was ridiculously fun—and not just because my setting was on fire! 🌞 But here's the thing: when I got home, sweaty and sandy, I was still glowing from all that fun—and guess who was happy to see me so happy? Yep, my husband, John, was grinning ear to ear to see me. Back when my marriage was falling apart, I thought self-care—by myself—would only highlight how distant John was. I couldn't see how it could possibly help our relationship. But I was wrong. What I didn't realize was that my unhappiness was making me pretty… resistible. When I started practicing four specific types of self-care, everything changed. Volleyball might not be your thing (I don't get it, but we can still be friends!), but here's the truth: every woman needs these four categories of self-care. If you're not getting them, it could be costing you intimacy and connection—just like it was at my house. Want to feel more magnetic and desirable in your relationship?

Ep 262262: Verbal Abuse in Marriage [2 Mistakes to Avoid]

If you've ever experienced verbal abuse, you know how devastating, demeaning and cruel it is. You know how destructive it is to your self-esteem. When that hurtful scenario keeps recurring, it seems the only sane thing to do is get away from that abusive person at least temporarily and possibly permanently. But when that person is your husband, someone you've built a life with—sworn to love, honor and respect—and have children with, it's not so easy to tear apart your family. But you don't want to live with ongoing verbal abuse either! Nobody should have to live with that. What if you could reduce the blow-ups? What if they dwindled down to hardly ever? Or even none at all? I wouldn't have believed that was possible if I hadn't seen it in my own marriage. And now that I've also witnessed thousands of other women use the Connection Framework to create the same peaceful, even playful outcome in their marriages, I'm a believer. You don't have to take my word for it—you can see for yourself by experimenting in your own relationship.

Remember when he couldn't keep his eyes—or hands—off you? If you're missing that spark and want to feel truly desired again, this episode is for you. Learn how you can be ridiculously attractive to your husband in ways that go beyond looks. If, like me, you've found yourself feeling entirely resistible to your man, you know how painful that is.

If you're anything like I was, you know the frustration of getting so angry at your husband that it gets ugly and you end up with an emotional hangover. But it doesn't have to be that way. Once you adopt these 3 practices, everything can change. This is the true confession of a former rageaholic who found a lasting cure. Here's how to restore peace in your marriage and get your dignity back. For over a decade, managing my anger was impossible as far as I could tell. I picked on unlucky store clerks, bank tellers and customer service reps. But most of all, I raged at my husband, who suffered through my episodes by saying very little and escaping as soon as he could. The tremendous shame and remorse I felt afterward didn't help me when the urge arose the next time. But I no longer feel that urge. I haven't had a Godzilla episode in over 20 years.
