Are you ever too helpful in your marriage? Do you find yourself frustrated with the way your spouse responds to you? You may be trying to control your spouse by “helping” even if you don’t mean to! 

 

Today Laura Doyle from the Empowered Wife Podcast joins Dr. Kim to teach us some empowering ways to shift the culture of our marriage, even if our spouse isn’t on board.  Tune in to learn some of the “cheat phrases” Laura teaches that can help you shift from controlling tendencies to deeper intimacy.   

 

We pray this episode is helpful to you and your marriage. 

 

PS - Please let me know if you end up with an experience like the story Laura tells about getting the kitchen clean!

We get lots of questions from people who want to know what to do if their spouse won’t go to counseling, won’t work on the marriage or has given up. Some marriages lean heavily toward the preferences of the more vocal or assertive spouse. If your marriage feels one-sided, you are certainly not alone!

Today Dr. Kim and I share the one-sided times we have experienced in our own marriages, and equip you with practical things to do if you find yourself in this situation. 

 

We pray this episode is helpful to you and your marriage.
