It's all so painful: the frustration of not being able to communicate with the one you love, the overwhelm and resentment at not getting the support you need, the loneliness at night. Well, I have good news and bad news. If you're wondering how to get OUT of an unhappy marriage or how to survive a loveless, sexless marriage, then bad news: this is not the podcast for you.

Today she says she couldn't be happier with the road she and her husband are on. She's going to explain how she transformed her marriage so you can do the same thing.
