About Laura Doyle

I wrote a book about what I learned and it went to #1 on Amazon, became a New York Times bestseller, and was translated into 19 languages in 30 countries.

That’s how I accidentally started a worldwide movement of women who practice The Six Intimacy Skills™ that make relationships playful and passionate, which started me on the mission to end world divorce.

I wrote more books, including my latest, The Empowered Wife, started an international relationship coaching school, hosted The Empowered Wife Podcast and starred in the Empowered Wives series on Amazon Prime.

But the thing I’m most proud of in the whole world? It’s my playful, passionate, 30-year marriage with my hilarious husband John, who has been dressing himself since before I was born.
