Cheryl<\/em><\/p>\n

Three years and two dismal divorces ago, I finally met the man of my dreams!\u00a0Mike and I get along great, make each other laugh, thoroughly enjoy each other\u2019s company, and my friends and family always comment on how happy we look.\u00a0Nothing was really wrong with our relationship, and we could\u2019ve continued this way, except my friend recommended a book titled The Surrendered Wife<\/span><\/i><\/a> by Laura Doyle.<\/p>\n

Even though everything was fine with Mike and I, this book started to change the way I thought about things–things like intimacy and vulnerability, being respectful and grateful, taking care of myself, and being more feminine at home compared to when I\u2019m at work.\u00a0One of the biggest benefits I received from practicing Laura\u2019s Intimacy Skills\u2122 is that I learned how to express myself to Mike without being attached to the outcome, or making him wrong for not doing what I thought he should do.<\/p>\n

I knew very early on in our relationship that I wanted to marry Mike, but he felt that he would never get married again.\u00a0I had resolved myself to the unhappy fact that I would either have to live with Mike\u2019s decision and never be married again, or, at some point, I\u2019d have to leave Mike and find a man who was willing to commit to marriage with me. Neither choice was ideal.\u00a0I did not want to leave this man, so I procrastinated out of fear of losing him. After reading Laura\u2019s book and thinking about what I really needed and wanted, Mike and I had a beautiful and intimate conversation one evening.\u00a0I simply shared my desire to be married, without any attachment, and let him know I also understood his side of things. I literally had no expectation, I just wanted to be clear and honest with him, and I was more than a little terrified to be this vulnerable.<\/p>\n

His response blew me away!\u00a0He said that lately he had been thinking a lot about marrying me, and didn\u2019t want to lose me because of things that had happened in the past, and he was struggling to resolve what he needed to resolve.\u00a0He said he would do whatever it took.\u00a0An impromptu-sort-of-proposal followed and, incredibly, we began that very evening making plans for our wedding! We got married less than 6 weeks later and couldn\u2019t be happier!<\/p>\n

Practicing the Intimacy Skills helps me to consciously choose intimacy with my husband rather than just letting the moments pass by as usual.\u00a0Now, not only does my relationship have even more depth and meaning, I feel closer and more deeply in love with my husband than ever! There\u2019s something in Laura\u2019s work that\u2019s available to every woman who\u2019s interested in having a wonderful, close relationship with their husband or partner, or who\u2019s interested in finding the man of their dreams.\u00a0Laura describes it as being \u201ccherished and adored for life.\u201d\u00a0If you are one of those women, I invite you to take a chance on these skills by contacting a Laura Doyle Certified Relationship Coach or booking your free Discovery Session here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
