When you see your husband drinking too much, itâs very scary because you canât help but wonder: Is this an addiction? Is he an alcoholic?

If your man isnât happy, of course you want to cheer him up so youâre not getting dragged down yourself, which is tiring.

If your husband has a crush on another woman, it can make you feel terrible and not special. He committed to loving you and only you âtil death do us part, and now?

It has such a chilling effect on intimacy youâre getting called names, especially rude ones that you wouldnât even want to repeat. Itâs so hurtful and scary. Everyone knows you shouldnât put up with that if you have any self-respect. Verbal or emotional abuse is not okay. It also makes you feel really badâunless you practice the Intimacy Skills and know about vulnerability.

When your husband resents you, the tension is so uncomfortable, especially if heâs just scowling or hiding in his cave and being silent, ignoring you, neglecting you. It would be nice if heâd just come out with it and tell you he resents you and WHY. Then youâd know exactly where you stand instead of wondering whatâs going to happen. You could make plans, defend yourself, or find a way to make him stop resenting you. You could look for the words to have him reevaluate, including that itâs not good for him to hold a grudge against his wife!

Itâs so devastating and hurtful if your husband leaves you because heâs unhappy. First, he loved you enough to marry you in front of God and everybody. Then he was so unhappy he left you? Thatâs not what he promised to do, and it feels like such a betrayal. Not only does it knock the wind out of you, heâs the very person you would turn to for comfort.

When my marriage was really bad, I just wanted to force it to get better through sheer will. Thatâs why I made John go to marriage counseling! I was willing to put in hard work and perseverance, of course, because thatâs what I figured it meant to âwork onâ your marriage. I mean, Iâd always heard marriage is hard work. Hard work!

If your husband isnât keeping his promises, like to love, honor and cherish you, or is drinking way too much or thereâs another woman whoâs too close or heâs just become a loser pants, then how are you supposed to respect him?
What if heâs abusive? What if heâs distant or absent? What if heâs walking away from the marriage? What if he conned you?
Itâs painful enough to be in that situation without feeling like now you should somehow just suck it up and be a respectful saint to him. How is that even humanly possible? Especially if all you feel is disgust because of his narcissism, meanness to the kids, or cruising along while you do everything. Itâs already more than you should be putting up with.

If youâve been struggling in your relationship for a while, youâre probably exhausted. I remember how hopeless and scared I felt when weâd been struggling for years and nothing was working to make it better. Not marriage counseling, not books about relationships, not working on communicationânone of that worked for us. Itâs such a disappointment to go from feeling like heâs an amazing person youâre excited to spend the rest of your life with, to wondering what happened to that guy and feeling lonely, neglected, and stupid for falling for him in the first place.

I found myself doing all the housework not long after we were married because I thought it would be nice for him and I wanted to be a nice wife, plus I wanted a clean house, homemade meals, and neatly folded laundry. And I wanted those things done the right way. It wasnât long before I was overwhelmed, exhausted and mighty resentful! I was doing everything while he just skated along and watched TV, like I was the mom and he was a little boy. So I decided he HAD to help and told him that. But he didnât help. Looking back I can see why. But I didnât know I was making these outrageous mistakes that were preventing him from doing chores. And Iâm not the only one!

This was one of the great mysteries of my life, so I want to share this with as many women as possible. I donât want anybody to suffer just because they donât know about these mistakes. Because before I knew them, I suffered. Just a few years into our marriage, my husband John refused to do housework. When I tried to tell him to wash the dishes, he just turned up the TV to drown me out. I begged, demanded, and repeated myself. I signed us up for marriage counseling, but it didnât help. He just didnât care about helping me, which made me question the whole marriage. Then I discovered a phrase that made him do chores willingly. The first time I tried it, John offered to clean the kitchen. And he did. That was over 20 years ago, and heâs been cleaning it ever since.

If youâre anything like I was, this isnât the first year youâve resolved to improve your relationship. I said it year after year because I was so stuck and didnât know what to do to get my husband to pay attention to me, be more affectionate, and be more responsible. But this new year, your marriage can actually be different. And I donât mean because youâre going to try harder, which never works but is very tiring (Iâm tired just thinking about it).

Every month the Certified Relationship Coaches and I get together and tell true stories about our relationships because having lots of stories to share is an important part of being a great relationship coach. Some of the best stories, those most valuable to the person youâre coaching? Theyâre embarrassing. Theyâre not proud moments or good examples of how to be a model wife. More like horrible warnings of what NOT to do to have a healthy marriage. Those are the kinds of stories we tell at these meetings, which are exclusively for the certified coaches, no one else.
Hearing that I am NOT the only person who has these self-inflicted embarrassing moments is so comforting, such a relief, and so entertaining, at least for me. So this week I got permission to share a coachesâ storytelling meeting with you, even though the stories were originally told in this sacred space of our coaches-only private call. The coaches decided to let you in on things you donât hear women admitting to very often. On todayâs episode of The Empowered Wife Podcast, Iâm letting you in on mistakes that were made, where you get to eavesdrop as relationship coaches confess!

When youâre going to trust someone with something as important as making your marriage last and thrive, itâs scary. You want to make sure itâs the right someone! Especially if youâre trying to navigate a crisis, like a separation, the threat of divorce, or an affair, which feels so vulnerable and private. Thereâs so much at stake, like your whole familyâs happiness and future! You shouldnât have to go through that alone, but you also need someone super safe who wonât judge you. Thatâs also true even if youâre just disappointed that your marriage isnât what you thought it was going to be. Because your birthright as a woman is to feel desired, adored and cherished. If youâre not feeling that way, itâs so painfulâI still remember. Youâll want a guide to help you see whatâs in the way, whatâs in your blindspot, whatâs stopping you from having that.

When your husband treats you like a roommate, it feels cold and lonely. You didnât get married to have a roommate! You got married to enjoy each otherâs company, to enjoy passion, and if youâre anything like me, to feel desired. So getting the roommate treatment is a bait-and-switch that can make you feel rejected and abandoned as a wife. Itâs also embarrassing. At least it was for me, because I felt like it was proof that I wasnât desirable, which I wasnât, and that our marriage was falling apart, which it was. So I had lots of problems and no idea where to start because I had already tried the oft-repeated advice to share my deep concerns about his lack of affection, and let me tell you: That. Did. Not. Work. It did not make him pull me in for a kiss and whisk me away to the bedroom, which is what I secretly wanted. That was painful. So on todayâs episode of The Empowered Wife Podcast, weâre talking about what to do when your husband treats you like a roommate.

Okay, I donât have much to say about outlaws. I just love that joke, that the difference between outlaws and in-laws is that outlaws are wanted. Thatâs because in-laws can be annoying and get on your very last nerve! They might be nosy, overbearing, or passive-aggressive, but you canât get rid of them, as much as you might like to sometimes. Or is that me Iâm thinking of? Well, not anymore. Now I genuinely like all my in-laws. I used to find fault with them like it was buried treasure, but it turns out theyâre a great bunch.
