Summary

One of the things I was not very good at back in the bad old days was knowing how I felt. Even if I did know how I was feeling, I didn't know what to do about it. So I mostly complained! That was all I knew to do. But it wasn't good for my marriage and it wasn't good for my happiness. Fortunately, the breakdown in my marriage taught me to focus on myself and pay attention to myself more. That was key for helping me become a happier wife and therefore have a happier marriage, since only happy people have happy marriages. On today's episode of The Empowered Wife Podcast, we're talking about how to know what you're feeling and what to do about it. 

My guest Susan felt so disconnected and unloved because her husband would often stay up until 3 a.m. relaxing but never with her. Nor did he help out with anything, so she felt like the only parent to their four children, which made her feel like she had a fifth child. But today she says her marriage is wonderful, with her husband always wanting to make her happy and giving her gifts, like a honeymoon. She's going to tell us what she did so you can do it too!

The Worst Relationship Advice of the Week Award winner is from a doctor who advises that you sit down together with your man, each with pen and paper to answer these 26 questions. Sounds so helpful, right? Wrong! Brace yourself for some harmful hogwash!
