Hey, Adorables, Laura here. Quick note before we start, if you're a regular listener and you

already heard Vonny's full story a few months ago where she threw the bucket of water on her

husband's head, you might want to skip this one. This is a shareable short version I created

specifically for new listeners. At the end, there's a simple try-it-night takeaway that's perfect for someone

brand new to the six intimacy skills. So if there's someone you've been wondering about sharing

these skills with, without a big time commitment, this is what you send them. She'll get hope

not going to respect me or listen to me, then you can sleep outside. And I went downstairs later

that night. Laura, it was cold.

He was curled up outside under the table.

This little 12-year-old boy.

Real women, real marriages.
