Summary

If your husband criticizes you, it hurts. You're doing so much, yet somehow it's not enough. No matter how hard you try, your parenting, your housekeeping, or your work just don't measure up–or so he would have you think. How can you fix your marriage when you're in this lonely place? On today's episode of The Empowered Wife Podcast we're talking about how to deal with disrespect in marriage.

One year into their 18-year marriage, my guest Gabi already wanted a divorce. Her husband was always cranky and blamed her for being a bad parent of their five kids even though he was the one abusing alcohol. He lied, he flirted with female co-workers, he didn't get along with her family, and made her feel like she wanted to die. But today her marriage is exactly what she dreamed about, and she has no doubt that her husband loves her and wants to be her hero. She's going to share her secrets for creating your own loving story even if your relationship seems hopeless.

The Worst Relationship Advice of the Week seems to promote honesty but actually encourages you to be critical of your husband.
