0:00.0	Welcome to the Empowered Wife podcast where it's all about fixing your relationship without your
0:13.7	man's conscious effort so that you feel desired, taken care of, and special even if
0:19.5	your relationship feels completely hopeless. I'm Laura Doyle and today we're talking about
0:24.0	what to do when your husband won't apologize. I'm going to give you three power
0:28.7	moves you can use to restore the peace after a breakdown. My guest Yola was in an exhausting
0:35.5	lonely marriage and felt that she had to raise a kids by herself because her
