Summary

It feels really bad when the man who promised to love honor and cherish you sneers at you when you’re talking, takes sides with the kids, doesn’t bother to answer you when you’re saying something important, makes demands or criticizes you. It’s so hurtful and insulting. You start to feel like you’re always on guard to protect yourself, which is tiring too. How is it ever going to improve if he’s just getting ruder and more dismissive? It’s scary to think about spending the rest of your life with someone so disrespectful! We talk a lot about how to be respectful on this podcast, but what about how to get respect? Here’s a powerful way to break out of the cycle of feeling disrespected by your husband and create a new culture at your house. On today’s episode of The Empowered Wife Podcast, we’re unpacking what to do when your husband doesn't respect you.

Plus, after big fights about parenting their blended family, Faith’s husband started confiding in a female “friend.” Faith decided to experiment with the 6 Intimacy Skills™ even though her friends told her that wouldn’t work. Today she says her marriage is the best it’s EVER been and they are both so in love. She’s going to tell us what she did so you can do it too.
