Welcome to the Empowered of Life Podcast where it's all about fixing your relationship

without your man's conscious effort so that you feel desired, taken care of and

special even if your relationship feels completely hopeless.

I'm Laura Doyle, and today I'm talking about five ways to inspire him

to be a better man, especially if he's constantly disappointing you.

My guest Rachel's husband checked every box

for narcissistic personality disorder,

which she knew meant he would never change his selfish ways.

Their weekly marriage counseling sessions were ugly fights.

So she got a divorce attorney and started making plans to leave him.

But instead, she went on a getaway that changed her life. Today she says her husband loves

honors and respects her, and they have an amazing life together. Same husband. She's going to tell us how she did this. Then I'll be giving

out the worst relationship advice of the Week Award which my husband John and I

can't stop laughing and making fun of because it's so ridiculous. Can't wait to tell you about that one all

that is coming up but first let's talk about five ways to inspire him to be a

better man being constantly disappointed in your marriage can wear you down and make you

hopeless about the future. Maybe your husband disappoints you when it comes to

celebrations. He forgets your anniversary or gets you a president that has nothing to do with what you like or acts like it's just another Wednesday.

Or let's say he complains when you're sick because you aren't doing the things you normally do.

The demoralizing message is that you're not that important except for what you contribute.

Not to mention his lack of compassion when you just want to be taken

care of. Or he may be a disappointment in a bigger sense like not showing up to be the dad your kids deserve.
