| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Empowered Wife podcast where it's all about fixing your relationship without |
| 0:13.4 | your man's conscious effort so that you feel desired, taken care of, and special |
| 0:19.1 | even if your relationship feels completely hopeless. I'm Laura Doyle and today I'm |
| 0:24.6 | sharing about how to recover from a fight. My guest Maria had one big problem in |
| 0:30.3 | her marriage and that was her husband's daily drinking. She worried |
| 0:34.4 | that he would cause himself to get sick and they would lose what they had |
| 0:37.8 | together. That led to a lot of arguments in COBORs, but today they are both happy, smiling tenderly and |

| 1:31.6 | yelling things that you would be embarrassed to repeat. |
| 1:35.3 | You wonder why he has to yell and gets so upset when the conversation was originally |
| 1:39.6 | about Tupperware. It makes you question whether the relationship is even sustainable because it's so |
| 1:46.2 | draining and painful to have these blow-ups and so distracting from the things you were planning to do |
| 1:52.0 | because you keep replaying the fight in your head and thinking of ways to let them have it. |
| 1:57.6 | Happily you don't have to stay stuck in wall-to-wall hostility or a week-long cold war. |
