I'm Laura. New York Times Bestselling Author I was the perfect wife--until I actually got married. When I tried to tell my husband how to be more romantic, more ambitious, and tidier, he avoided me. I dragged him to marriage counseling and nearly divorced him. I then started talking to women who had what I wanted in their marriages and that\u2019s when I got my miracle. The man who wooed me returned. I wrote a few books about what I learned and accidentally started a worldwide movement of women who practice The Six Intimacy Skills\u2122 that lead to having amazing, vibrant relationships. The thing I\u2019m most proud of is my playful, passionate relationship with my hilarious husband John\u2013who has been dressing himself since before I was born.","sameAs":["https:\/\/lauradoyle.org\/","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/lauradoyle.org\/","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/lauramdoyle\/","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/lauramdoyle\/","https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/intimacyskills\/","https:\/\/x.com\/lauramdoyle","https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/lauradoyleauthor"],"url":"https:\/\/lauradoyle.org\/blog\/author\/stmonday\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lauradoyle.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15934","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lauradoyle.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lauradoyle.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lauradoyle.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lauradoyle.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15934"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/lauradoyle.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15934\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lauradoyle.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/15948"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lauradoyle.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15934"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lauradoyle.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15934"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lauradoyle.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15934"},{"taxonomy":"app","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lauradoyle.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/app?post=15934"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
