Summary
If your husband doesn’t turn in when you do and your schedules feel off, it gets lonely and you don’t get as much time together. It’s a big disconnect that’s not very intimate. But you can entice him to make bedtime “together time.” And help make the rest of your marriage happier and more intimate.
My guest Lolita did just that. Her husband would fall asleep on the sofa and she would lie in bed feeling angry and abandoned. Once she began to practice the Intimacy Skills in earnest, her marriage quickly became peaceful and joyful. Now they are happier than ever.
She’ll tell us how she did it so you can do it too. Check out today’s episode of The Empowered Wife Podcast: “My Husband Won’t Come to Bed with Me.”
