My guest, Sarah, was questioning how long she could withstand the bullying from her rude husband

after years of feeling unheard and alone with child rearing and cooking.

But then she started prioritizing her dignity and her peace.

And today, her marriage is so good that her husband brags about her at work.

She's going to tell us how she did it,

and so you can do it too. Sarah, welcome to the Empowered Wife podcast. I'm so excited that you're

here. Can't wait to hear your story. Thank you. I'm thrilled to be here as well. Awesome.

Awesome. Well, I'd love to hear what was going on in the bad old days. Like,

what was happening that had you feeling like you were questioning how long you could stay in your,

you know, put up with the bullying from your husband? Sure. Well, I do want to share first that when I started dating my husband, it did not take

long for us to get engaged. Now, I did meet him in fifth grade, so I had known him most of my life,

although we were not

dating or at all.

But once we did start dating, I was, I'm such a cautious person generally, so I would not have

leaped into it like such a short and we were engaged five months

but I felt that it was very doable because I knew his life and but what I remember is that when we

when he asked me to marry him I knew that I wanted to marry him because I had,

I had this very clear sentence in my head that I knew that I could trust him completely with

my well-being and that he always showed to have my best interest in mind. So I just want to share like how sure I was of marrying him and it furthermore,

he was someone that I had known my whole life.

Wow.

So, but once we were married, so basically almost a year to the date of when we started dating, like we started dating in September and then the next September we were getting married.
