Summary

Wouldn't it be a wonderful world if saying "We need to talk" made him gaze into your eyes and describe all the ways he's so in love with you? Or if telling him he needs to be more affectionate and attentive made him turn off the TV and gallantly sweep you off to the bedroom? Unfortunately, calling him out doesn't work. But if he's not taking initiative to be romantic and you can't tell him to do something about it, won't you have to suffer forever and just get your romance needs met by watching Hallmark movies? Fortunately, there is plenty you can do to inspire him to be more romantic without saying a word about what he's NOT doing. On today's episode of The Empowered Wife Podcast we're talking about 4 ways to get the romance back.

My guest Maggie's marriage was full of verbal abuse, which was affecting their children and had her looking for nearby apartments. Her husband was so angry, resentful, critical and controlling. But today she says they have an indescribably deep connection and that he wants to take care of her heart. They're having so much fun together and, when they do fight, it doesn't last long and they can get back to their sweet spot fast. Her blended family feels healthy and strong.
