Summary
Many women feel lost in their marriages. They don't know what to do with their disappointment, when to ask for help, or what it looks like to let go of the need to control. But God has given women incredible power in marriage and Dr. Juli Slattery is here to help us learn how to use it.
Dr. Slattery joins me to discuss key points from her bestselling book Finding the Hero in Your Husband and about how what we believe about our husbands can make all the difference in the intimacy, connection and health of our marriages.
“There are going to be issues in every marriage that have to be addressed, but it's the relational equity that we build through how we treat our husbands that gives us the power to confront things when they really need to be addressed. And when your husband has come to rely so much on your intimacy and companionship, then the fact that you have a concern really gets his attention because he doesn't want to lose you.”
We talk about being emotionally safe for our husbands, stopping the cycle of disappointment and nagging in our marriages, and taking another look at intimacy as a sexual journey to go on with our husbands. It’s. So. GOOD.
If you are in need of a boost of hope and excitement to help you re-engage in your marriage, this episode is for you!

| 0:00.0 | Hey y'all, welcome back to the Don't Mom Alone podcast. |
| 0:10.8 | I'm your host Heather McFadian and this is the place where I get to walk alongside you |
| 0:17.2 | and connect you with people and resources so you know that you don't mom alone. |
| 0:22.8 | And in this episode, number 346, I have the privilege of chatting with Dr. Julie Slarity. |
| 0:29.9 | And so what ends up happening is let's just assume that your husband is waking up with |
| 0:35.5 | that question, do you believe in me? |
| 0:37.6 | And he starts engaging with the kids and he starts parenting the way he parents and you're |
| 0:42.8 | micro-managing and you're telling him, no, don't do it that way or why did you give him |
| 0:47.2 | this to eat? |
| 0:48.2 | That's going to make him sick and all he hears is, nope, she doesn't believe in me. |
| 0:53.0 | And so what we know about men is they don't want to be in an environment where they constantly |
| 0:58.4 | feel like they're not enough for their failing. |
| 1:01.2 | And so men will tend to withdraw from that kind of situation instead of doing what we really |
| 1:06.2 | want them to do which is engage. |
| 1:07.9 | We want them to engage his father's, engage his husband's, we want them to step up. |
| 1:13.7 | But sometimes the way we interact with their husbands actually is making them feel more |
| 1:18.0 | like they want to step back. |
| 1:19.7 | Okay y'all, so this is one of those episodes I wish we could sit together and process |
| 1:25.5 | and I could hear your stories and hear where you're coming from and know all that. |
| 1:30.8 | I will say after doing the interview, it changed me and pretty much everyone in my real life |
| 1:38.4 | that I've seen since has gotten to hear the impact on me and then the ripple effect into |
| 1:45.4 | my marriage. |
