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 youâve built a life withâsworn to love, honor and respectâand have children with, itâs not so easy to tear apart your family. But you donât want to live with ongoing verbal abuse either! Nobody should have to live with that.
What if you could reduce the blow-ups? What if they dwindled down to hardly ever? Or even none at all?
I wouldnât have believed that was possible if I hadnât seen it in my own marriage. And now that Iâve also witnessed thousands of other women use the Connection Framework to create the same peaceful, even playful outcome in their marriages, Iâm a believer.
You donât have to take my word for itâyou can see for yourself by experimenting in your own relationship. Learn what victims of verbal abuse have done to create peace, connection, and playfulness in their relationships.
Sometimes, such victims make one of two common mistakes that worsen the abuse. Itâs shocking because I remember feeling so hopeless and helpless about this in my marriage, I was offended by the idea that I was making any mistakes besides having married the wrong person!
But I was making these two mistakes that were within my control to fixâŚ

If youâre anything like I was, you know the frustration of getting so angry at your husband that it gets ugly and you end up with an emotional hangover. But it doesnât have to be that way. Once you adopt these 3 practices, everything can change. This is the true confession of a former rageaholic who found a lasting cure. Hereâs how to restore peace in your marriage and get your dignity back.
For over a decade, managing my anger was impossible as far as I could tell. I picked on unlucky store clerks, bank tellers and customer service reps. But most of all, I raged at my husband, who suffered through my episodes by saying very little and escaping as soon as he could. The tremendous shame and remorse I felt afterward didnât help me when the urge arose the next time. But I no longer feel that urge. I havenât 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.

Learn life-changing ways to start feeling taken care of instead of lonely and exhausted. Because itâs too tiring to be the one who does everything, from taking care of kids to housework to earning money to paying bills and managing social plans. Especially if youâve asked your man to help and it just feels like pulling teeth! Or if he does things and you have to redo them because they arenât done right. Itâs so unfair. Who wouldnât be resentful when youâre doing so much more of the work? I was. VERY resentful. Even the things that he did, I had to remind him to do them, which was a heavy mental load. I told him he needed to step up and do more. That got me wall-to-wall hostility, but not more help with housework. So today, Iâm revealing two secrets to stop doing all the work in marriage.

It's heartbreaking to feel distant from your man when you long for the closeness you once shared. Without that spark, thereâs a lonely ache, even when youâre together, leaving you wondering if you'll ever feel desired again. You may have heard that respect is like oxygen for men, but why should you have to do all the work? What if you donât respect him? Thatâs exactly how I felt. But what made me decide to be bound to him for life if he was such a loser pants? Wouldnât that make me a loser pants too? No! So that led me to think about what I had been drawn to, how wise and generous he once was, how talented and sweet, how musically talented and adventurous and handsome. And heâs still that same guy. When I remembered all that, I felt grateful instead of resentful and contemptuous. (Turns out, gratitude is a much happier feeling.) But how do you get there if youâre not feeling it? On todayâs episode of The Empowered Wife Podcast, Iâm sharing 3 secrets for restoring the intimacy in your marriage.

I have a confession about the 6 Intimacy Skills⢠Iâm always talking about. At first, I thought they sounded stupid. I remember thinking, âI am NOT going to do THAAAAT!â I thought they were old-fashioned and just plain yucky. I thought if I apologized for being disrespectful, that would be a step back for all womankind. And thatâs NOT how *I* was raised. Or if I expressed my gratitude for something my husband should do anyway, that would turn me into a Stepford Wife robot. Good thing I was so desperate or I probably never would have tried the 6 Intimacy Skills. Once I did, I saw things so differently. Yes, the Skills were counterintuitive but also compelling. I got excited about how I felt when I experimented with them. I didnât think that was going to happen, but then I actually *tried* them. Which wasnât easy to do all by my lonesome. Fortunately, thereâs now a whole community of like-minded women, and we have something exciting brewing! Iâll tell you all about it on todayâs episode of The Empowered Wife Podcast, where Iâm talking about the 5-Day Adored Wife Challenge.
And the Man Panel continues! My guest Tim is the husband of a podcast guest and relationship coach. Iâll get his perspective on the changes in his family as a result of his wife using the 6 Intimacy Skills and the Connection Framework. Get ready to hear the male perspective on what makes men attracted to their wives and want to be her hero.
