My guess Laura found a cigarette butt in the ashtray, the kind another woman smoked.

She saw emails.

She noticed how he acted around certain women.

Her gut told her he was cheating.

But was he?

Their fighting was constant.

The connection was gone.

And she was lying in bed at night, Googling, how does a stay-at-home mom divorce her husband?

Then he said he wanted a divorce, and this time she knew he meant it. Real wives, real marriage

transformations. This is the Empowered Wife podcast, but Laura didn't want divorce. She just didn't know how to stop the nightmare her marriage

had become. Then she tried something that seemed impossible. Within weeks, the fighting ended. Her

husband started pursuing her again, and today their marriage is happy, playful, and passionate.

So what exactly did Laura do that changed everything? She's going to tell us

how she did it so you can do it too. Stay till the end for the Try It Tonight takeaway.

Laura, welcome to the Empowered Wife podcast. I'm excited you're here. Oh, thank you. I'm excited too.

So happy to be here. Great. Well, actually,

let's hear a little bit about how you became attracted to your husband. Like, how did you know he was the one? Oh, well, we had actually been friends for like 10 years. He was right there in front of me for a long time. And we had

mutual friends. And I kind of think he had a crush on me right from the beginning. We met at

one of my friends' kids' birthday parties. and he found a way to get my number,

and then we just started hanging out. He'd send me a text every Monday to see how my weekend was,

and he'd come over, and after work a couple nights a week, and just hang out and have a couple beers.

And, you know, we just hung out and got really close and actually, like, helped each other through breakups and talking about, you know, other relationships.
