Be the Change in Your Marriage

The Great Gift of Disliking Your Husband


Listen Later

My heart is full today. I recently finished such an inspiring book that encompasses the message I’ve been trying to express all this time with such clarity, and such humor.


As Cheryl McClary, author of THE COMMITMENT CHRONICLES, so delightfully tells us, (actually I won’t share her words yet, I’ll share what’s coming from me after feeling her wisdom wash over me): If you’re going around being bummed out because you don’t like your husband, you have been handed a priceless gift:

What?! Ok Summer, now you’ve boarded the bus to Mooncakeland. How can disliking my husband possibly be anything but one of life’s stinkiest dumpster fires? I mean, I’m stuck with him.

Find out all about this great gift in this episode...

Let me share how Dr. McClary summarized her complaints about her husband.  You’re going to love this.  

• He is in touch with his feelings only when he gets a headache.

• He believes his "feminine side" refers to his

maternal relatives.

• He thinks The Celestine Prophecy is a topless dancer

on Bourbon Street.

• He assumes The Road Less Traveled is the interstate under construction.


Do any of those sound familiar?  So after years of feeling disappointed with his cluelessness, She experienced a wonderful moment of awakening she described like this:


“Jim is completely happy. He just wants everything to stay the same, which means I keep doing all I can to please him and make his happiness my main goal in life. No wonder he's so damn content! I would be, too. I am going to have to be the change agent.”

“I had to take control of the situation. I was the one who was unhappy. I was the one who wanted a better relationship.”

Learn more about how she did it in this amusing episode.

Stay tuned, because this is going to be the great mission of my exciting, (and ridiculously affordable) upcoming offering: supporting each other through flipping our scripts, building our bliss, and lovingly offering our dear husbands a clue.  It is going to be more fun than a stack of novels, a trough of muddy buddies and no one else at home.  No. Now I'm overhyping.  Nothing beats that.  But it’s going to be fabulous!  We’ll leave it at that. DM me "WAITLIST" on Instagram to get all the updates ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹.


You deserve all the love and happiness you can hold.
