In this book, Laura Doyle presents a controversial yet practical approach to enhancing marital relationships. Doyle argues that women should surrender the control they often exert over their husbands, which can lead to withdrawal and conflict. By giving up this control, women can express their needs while respecting their husbands' decisions, thereby revitalizing intimacy. The book outlines six key principles, including relinquishing control, respecting husbands' decisions, practicing self-care, expressing gratitude, showing vulnerability, and trusting husbands with financial responsibilities. Doyle's approach is centered on recognizing and respecting innate gender differences to achieve a more fulfilling and harmonious marriage.

Okay, I don’t have much to say about outlaws. I just love that joke, that the difference between outlaws and in-laws is that outlaws are wanted. That’s because in-laws can be annoying and get on your very last nerve! They might be nosy, overbearing, or passive-aggressive, but you can’t get rid of them, as much as you might like to sometimes. Or is that me I’m 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 they’re a great bunch. Maybe your in-laws are not so great though, and it’s putting stress on your marriage. So on today’s episode of The Empowered Wife Podcast, we’re talking about how to make his family members more tolerable.
Plus, my guest Jessica was sure the only way her marriage would get fixed was if her husband would finally open his eyes and start treating her better! But she did some experiments herself, and her prayers were answered in an unexpected way. Now he writes her love notes that make her heart sing. She’s going to tell us what she did so you can do it too.
