Welcome to the Empowered Wife podcast where it's all about fixing your relationship without your man's conscious effort so that you feel desired and taken care of and special even if your relationship feels completely hopeless.

I'm Lauren Doyle and today we're talking about how to

fix your husband's low self-esteem. I'm going to share 11 ways to give your

husband's swashbuckling swagger and self-confidence. My guest Joanna was lonely, sad, and defeated because

her workaholic husband didn't initiate sex. He didn't even want to have sex. He avoided her and everything had to be his way or the highway.

Where they ate, what they did, their activities, how they spent their time, their money,

he was super controlling. But today Joanna and her husband spend most of their time

together, enjoy great vacations, and he is always finding ways to make her happy.

She's going to tell us exactly how she did that.

And then I'll be giving out the award for the worst relationship advice of the week,

which is directly from an old pop song that may have worked its way into your subconscious,

like it did mine

because you heard it so many times. All that's coming up, but first

let's talk about what to do if your guy has low self-esteem because a confident man is a sexy man but an insecure

guy not very appealing. When you see his doubts and low self-esteem, his indecision or his inability to handle a situation

that you could manage with half your brain tied behind your back, it's a turn off.

You start to wonder what you ever saw on the guy.

You want him to believe in himself already.

You want to see some conviction, some manliness.

Every wife wants her husband to be confident.

So how do you cultivate that?

Isn't it something he's got or he doesn't?
