Get more attention from your husband in 4 simple steps—without begging. You shouldn’t have to beg for attention from the man you married! That is so lonely, demoralizing and demeaning. 

I remember the bad old days when my husband didn’t want to be around me, which were lousy. Fortunately, I learned a thing or two to turn that around completely.

So if you’re tired of begging for attention from your husband, you are in the right place.

Maybe you’re so ready for the hurting to end that you’re trying to figure out how to stop wanting attention from him.

But that never works. Plus, who wants that, really? I sure didn’t like it.

So I’ll raise you.

Learn how to get more attention from your husband in 4 simple steps on today’s episode of The Empowered Wife Podcast.

If your husband doesn’t turn in when you do and your schedules feel off, it gets lonely and you don’t get as much time together. It’s a big disconnect that’s not very intimate. But you can entice him to make bedtime “together time.” And help make the rest of your marriage happier and more intimate.

My guest Lolita did just that. Her husband would fall asleep on the sofa and she would lie in bed feeling angry and abandoned. Once she began to practice the Intimacy Skills in earnest, her marriage quickly became peaceful and joyful. Now they are happier than ever. 

She’ll tell us how she did it so you can do it too. Check out today’s episode of The Empowered Wife Podcast: “My Husband Won’t Come to Bed with Me.”

Now that I know how to magnetize him effortlessly, 24/7, I just wish somebody would have told me back then. So today, I’m sharing 3 powerful ways to draw your husband to you so that there’s no distance and you feel loved just for being yourself.

If your husband doesn’t express his emotions or communicate the way you want him to, you may have wondered if he’s neurodiverse, just like my guest Sarah did. 

She was depressed but also excited when she realized her husband was neurodiverse because she felt she’d found the key to fixing her struggling marriage after years of trying everything else. 

But it was something else entirely that helped her make her marriage loving, passionate and full of possibility again. She’ll tell us how she did it so you can do it too.

Can you ever have a playful, passionate marriage to a man with neurodiversity? Sarah has that now, so let’s find out how she did it!

If you've ever experienced verbal abuse, you know how devastating, demeaning and cruel it is. You know how destructive it is to your self-esteem.

When that hurtful scenario keeps recurring, it seems the only sane thing to do is get away from that abusive person at least temporarily and possibly permanently.

But when that person is your husband, someone you’ve built a life with—sworn to love, honor and respect—and have children with, it’s not so easy to tear apart your family. But you don’t want to live with ongoing verbal abuse either! Nobody should have to live with that.

I wouldn’t have believed that was possible if I hadn’t seen it in my own marriage. And now that I’ve also witnessed thousands of other women use the Connection Framework to create the same peaceful, even playful outcome in their marriages, I’m a believer.

But I was making these two mistakes that were within my control to fix…

The tremendous shame and remorse I felt afterward didn’t help me when the urge arose the next time. But I no longer feel that urge. I haven’t had a Godzilla episode in over 20 years. My clients and coaches also report that their anger subsided and they regained their dignity when they adopted these simple practices.
