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 you’ve built a life with—sworn to love, honor and respect—and have children with, it’s not so easy to tear apart your family. But you don’t 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 wouldn’t have believed that was possible if I hadn’t seen it in my own marriage. And now that I’ve also witnessed thousands of other women use the Connection Framework to create the same peaceful, even playful outcome in their marriages, I’m a believer. You don’t have to take my word for it—you 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. It’s 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 fix…  Download the FREE Adored Wife Roadmap now and start transforming your relationship today!

Do you worry about your husband drinking too much—or, worse, driving after drinking and all the heartache that could cause? Then you’ve got to hear Amanda’s story.  She had already been struggling with her husband’s lies, stonewalling, depression, and alcoholism when he was arrested for driving under the influence. That’s what made her look for help and find a book that changed everything. Now he’s sober, and they talk, flirt, and snuggle like teenagers in love.  Learn how she used that crisis as a catalyst to build a stronger, more connected marriage.  How did she find hope, strength, and a way forward? And what do you need to know if you’re in a crisis, too? You’re about to find out! Download the FREE Adored Wife Roadmap now and start transforming your relationship today!

Remember when he couldn’t keep his eyes—or hands—off you? If you’re missing that spark and want to feel truly desired again, this episode is for you. Learn how you can be ridiculously attractive to your husband in ways that go beyond looks. If, like me, you’ve found yourself feeling entirely resistible to your man, you know how painful that is. You might think that means it’s time to lose a few pounds or get a makeover.  When I couldn’t seduce my own husband, that’s what I thought too. But that had nothing to do with why I wasn’t attractive to him.  Now that I know how to magnetize him, I want every woman to know because this stuff really works to make you irresistible.  Like when I’m brushing crumbs off the kitchen counter and John says “Don’t move,” he gets out his phone to take my picture like I’m a supermodel he’s been married to for 35 years. What I learned has given me an unfair advantage.  Here’s how to make yourself a magnet too, sweatpants and bed hair included.

If you’re 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 doesn’t 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. Here’s 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 didn’t help me when the urge arose the next time. But I no longer feel that urge. I haven’t 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.
