Summary

How do you keep a marriage alive after 20 years or more but also keep it sizzling? This is the secret sauce. On today's episode of The Empowered Wife Podcast, we're talking about what keeps a marriage together. I'll share 3 simple methods I use every day for lasting peace, playfulness and passion.

My guest Leann was lonely because her husband always had a hobby he was more interested in than spending time with her or the family. She was devastated when he stopped wearing his wedding ring, moved out, threatened divorce and spent his time with multiple other women. It seemed completely hopeless to make her marriage last. But when she changed up the script they had been following and took a totally different approach, her husband responded in a totally different way. He moved back in, bought new wedding rings and has become so affectionate and attentive. 

The Worst Relationship Advice of the Week if you want your husband to get a better paying job is from a columnist in a major newspaper who gives some advice that sounds really wise and spiritual but is actually so cynical and sad!
