Summary

When I started fixing my marriage, I really didn't want my husband to know! And I know I'm not alone here. It's nice to have the freedom to experiment without your husband asking about it--or being your armchair coach. The last thing you want is having an experiment go wrong and hearing "I told you so!" Especially from the very person you so want it to go right with! 

If you too are experimenting behind your husband's back, should you ever come clean about it?

On today's episode of The Empowered Wife Podcast we're talking about why so many women keep it a secret that they're fixing their marriage. I'll also share which Intimacy Skill they use when they do let the cat out of the bag.

My guest Stephanie was unhappy in her marriage and exhausted by the constant tension. Moments of physical intimacy were few and far between. Then she found out there was another woman. Fortunately, she made a discovery that gave her hope to save her marriage. Unfortunately, when she changed the way she interacted with her husband, he reacted with anger and frustration. But today, she feels light and free, and her 25-year marriage feels like a gift that keeps getting better. She's going to tell us what she did so you can do it too.

The Worst Relationship Advice of the Week is so cringey and unpleasant it would just make everyone avoid you if you followed it.
