Summary
On today's episode of The Empowered Wife Podcast, we're talking about the weirdest, scariest--and probably most indispensable--ingredient for creating intimacy. I'll share how to inspire others to help and protect you, take care of you and support you--without being weak, submissive or acting like a doormat.
My guest Ch'vaun's marriage was deeply lonely and felt like a rollercoaster ride. She knew that trust and respect were missing but had no idea how to get them back. But when she discovered what respect really looked like to her husband, he went back to doing all the great things he used to do when they fell in love. Today she says she could cry because she feels so loved. She's going to tell us what she did so you can do it too!
