So if you're tired of trying to get attention from your husband, you are in the right place. On today's episode of The Empowered Wife Podcast, we're talking about 3 steps to a more attentive spouse.

Today she says she couldn't be happier with the road she and her husband are on. She's going to explain how she transformed her marriage so you can do the same thing.

If your husband keeps getting angry, you're not alone. When he blows a fuse at you or the kids, it can be really hurtful and scary. When it happens again and again, then it has a way of making you angry too. Especially if he jumps down your throat at the smallest things, like how you stock the groceries! It's baffling when you're being nice by making his coffee or having his dinner ready. If you're doing everything you can think of to be a good wife and still getting snapped at, it is downright disheartening. On today's episode of The Empowered Wife Podcast we're talking about 2 proven ways to make a rageaholic be respectful.

My guest Kait was sure her husband was the problem. He played video games all the time and didn't help with the kids. She started talking to another man, who was saying all the things she wanted to hear from her husband. Then she used a phrase that turned things around 180 degrees, and now she says she has the marriage she has always dreamed of, full of I love you's, laughter and snuggling. She's going to tell us what she said and did so you can do it too.

If you're asking yourself whether there's hope for your marriage, it means you're going through a lot of heartache. After all, no one asks that about a marriage that's full of hand-holding and sweet nothings. That question comes up only when you're incredibly hurt and angry, and you've been feeling that way for a long time. Even though it was long ago, I still remember feeling that way, and it was awful. I remember thinking there was no way things would improve and it was completely hopeless because he was not going to change. Of course, I was wrong. Things could improve, and they did–beyond my wildest dreams. And wouldn't you know it–I was the one who had the power all along, just like Dorothy. But what about your situation? On today's episode of The Empowered Wife Podcast, I'll share 4 questions to help you definitively know--right now–whether there is hope for your marriage.

My guest Laurelie thought everything was perfect in her marriage except when it came to the bedroom, where it felt like an anxiety-inducing disaster.

When your husband is going through a tough time, it's pretty hard to just stand by and watch without wanting to help him or fix things somehow. It's agonizing to see him suffering, and why should he struggle when you're right there ready to support him? Especially if you have solutions for him that, if he would only try them, would help him feel better and thus help you feel better too. But what if he's pushing you away? Or seems distant and isn't letting you contribute the way you'd like to? If you've already done all you can to be a good wife, only to feel more disconnected, you know how frustrating that is. So how are you supposed to be supportive when your partner is stressed or depressed? On today's episode of The Empowered Wife Podcast, we're talking about five ways to be supportive in a relationship.

If your husband keeps stuff in the garage, stuff in the yard, stuff in the dining room, stuff in the bedroom and more stuff in the living room, it can feel suffocating. Especially if most of it is junk. The trash that nobody would want is standing between you and having the tidy home you dream of. And if you've asked him to get rid of things and he won't or he just puts things somewhere else then brings home new stuff, it's frustrating. Especially because it seems a little crazy that someone would want to have so much junk around. It makes you wonder if you married a mentally stable person. On today's episode of The Empowered Wife Podcast, we're talking about two solutions when your husband hoards.

My guest Kim's husband was always negative and moody, and she felt helpless to make her marriage feel hopeful and fun.

The Worst Relationship Advice of the Week Award winner explains the sinister, subconscious reasons you picked your husband and why you're probably doomed.
