Summary

Does it seem like your husband is lazy, complains a lot, or doesn't want to spend time with you? What if none of these things were true no matter how much evidence you think you had? On today's episode of The Empowered Wife Podcast we're talking about three things wives get wrong about husbands.
My guest Judith found that after 40 years of marriage, living with her husband felt more like a business arrangement than anything else. Sure it was convenient and reliable, but she missed the joy, passion and fun. Now, her relationship is even better than when they first met, and she's going to share exactly what she did to create this huge transformation.
The Worst Relationship Advice of the Week is often given to couples but instead of it encouraging vulnerability, it actually makes things worse.

distant semi-business arrangement. It was reliable and convenient but there was

no fun, no passion, no joy. Now she says her marriage is full of fun and passion like
